Snow and the damage done...

Like many countries in the world, ours also got hit quit blizzards and snow. The floods are extreme, the damage done from snowbreak severe. But that didn't stop us from enjoying the snow, even though in our town it is not that bad with floods yet.

We set out to test our winter gear and my new Hurtta coat, which my owners got me, I hate putting it on but I love having it on when it's snowy outside. It prevents my fur from becoming iceballs and I am allowed unlimited snow play hihi.

Maja and I got dressed up, and decided to walk to the winyards on the freshly white colored streets. Once we go to the forest which leads us all the way up to them, we encountered many obsticles. There were so many trees that fell, branches all over. Sadly we forgot our camera, but we went up again today and took pictures to show what has happened in the past few days. The snow is still melting but the damage is done.

Trees ripped out of the ground and me being pretty in coat hihi

But shockingly, our little project didn't take any damage. Yet. We are a bit scared the soil will fall once the snow starts melting. But for now, its just an awesome doggy playground hihi.

Happy dogs in snow, all the barks mean one word: SNOWBALL, SNOWBALL, SNOWBALL, hihi.

Too many ears...

Update:)

Today we went to the vet, I was realy panicky, since we went into the office where we were water washing my ears a month ago, bad memories don't go away. But eventually I showed my pretty ears and we saw that the left ear, which was without the eardrum, has almost completely healed, but the day wouldn't be complete without some bad news.

The infection has spread to my right ear, but, it is minimal and we are now treating that one also.
I hate the ear drops, however this ones are more solid and not so annoyingly watery. the good news is we will not continue with pills after I am done with the last two, so tomorrow is the last day.

Maja did treat me to some yummy food, which we all love so I am very happy about that, but today was very stressful and I am very tired. I am prone to allergies and my ears are the ones who get affected most. We do not know what the allergy is, but if I am as awesome as I am, this treatment will be done soon and I will be great. Hihi.

Smells like snow...

Winter is comming, we can smell it in the air, the leaves are colored yellow and the forests are starting to become naked. The weather is very unbalanced, yesterday it was so cold and foggy, we couldn't see far ahead, but today it's sunny again and warm. They are annuncing snow this weekend, wonder if it will happen. I am ready for winter, I have the new Hurtta overall coat, which hides most of my body from the cold, but it would be more fun if Magnus was here for the first snow, since him and I throw ourselfs on the ground and make snow angels. Well he does, I just jump on him and bark and we roll in the snow haha. Magnus is working in Norway again, but this time for only a few weeks, so I am not too sad, tho it was hard the first day. I have however taken advantage of his side of the bed, streching out completely when I sleep, being joined by Ed and Liza.

Sadly Maja and I weren't able to drive him to the airport, since I am ill and unable to receive the rabies shot untill my ear is healed and I am of the antibiotics, which ofcourse meant I wasn't able to go o another country at the point of his departure.

Yesterday at the vet's office, it was confirmed my eardrum has healed 80%, but we need to go back tomorrow, to decided on further treatment or if we are stopping with the pills. Ofcourse to my dislikeness we do have to continue with the annoying liquid antibiotic, which I really hate and now I have to get my other ear cleaned everyday till tomorrow also. Boo. But I am healthy and we were really lucky, many dogs die due to the infection spreading to the brain and I cannot complain if it's a little uncomfortable being in treatment.

Will update tomorrow on how the vet's decided, till then, we are going to take advantage of the sunny day yay.

Capital and fungy

Saturday we decided to go for a little roadtrip and drove to our capital Ljubljana. We walked the crowded streets and enjoyed the sights. I passed so many doggies which were politely walking next to their owners in the crowds of tourists and locals. I was really behaved and people adored me. Waiters in pubs we sat in always asked if I wanted water, or they  just brought me some fresh drinks in plastic wraps. Really nice of them hihi. And I also made a political statement by pooping on the lawn of the official goverment building haha.

The statue we were sitting at was tributed to the slovenian most famous poet, who also wrote the national hymn. It is situated in the old town, right next to the triple bridge, a beautiful creation of one of the most talented architects.

 Today, we had our vet visit, the moment of truth was here. We hoped for good news, and we were lucky! We have managed to get my eardrum to start healing back, it has covered the area where it used to be, but I also have a fungy infestion due to the liquid antibiotic, so we had to start another round of pill antibiotics to prevent more problems. Truthfully, if fungy is the only bad side effect then we are lucky. So we are very happy, I seem to be getting a lot better energy wise, no pain, but I do have a bit of indigestion due to the medication and maybe less stamina on walks. Atleast the infection has not spread to the brain and the swlling went down, but untill we end the treatment we won't know if any fungy is behind the healed eardrum. So far it's been amazing healing so we will cross our fingers and hope for the best for the next visit, which is in ten days.
