BUSCH GARDENS WITH "M-SAN!"

[forever_wandering]

日本語の版：http://ameblo.jp/eternalkirichan/entry-11212929398.html

I started treating one of my dogs for mange. I didn't think it was mange at first, and looking at her now I'm still not entirely sure, but I've decided to try treating her with some home remedies just to be on the safe side. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this before? If you have, any advice would be great! 

★★★★★★★★★★★★

I woke up early to make breakfast while M-san played with one of my dogs in the yard. Occasionally, I'd look out the window and laugh. Watching him run around was just too cute. Once I was one cooking, we ate breakfast together, changed, and headed off to Busch Gardens.

At the gate, we were told that we'd receive a free ticket for a second visit if we stopped by a different counter, so we did that and decided we'd be back the next day to finish off whatever we couldn't finish on our first day. Since the park was so crowded on the first day, we did end up using that second ticket in order to finish the park. We rode every roller coaster, watched every show, walked through every exhibit and even went on a safari ride to feed wild animals! It was so much fun!

 

 

After the safari rid e, my allergies started acting up for the first time in a million years. I told M-san it was all his fault, because I had worn myself out trying to please him, but we both knew it was from touching all those wild animals. My eyes got so red, my nose got all stuffy, and my voice got all weird. M-san was a good sport about it though, and only made fun of me half the time and at the end of the day, he even tried to give me some of the medicine he had brought with him for the plane ride.^^;; 

Oh, and I'm pretty sure we've eliminated my fear of heights. It was done unwillingly, but it was done! Now, I'm pretty sure I can tackle buildings and rides of any heights! All thanks to M-san ignoring my screams of fear and panic. This guy...he's always forcing me in to new experiences. As he puts it, he's always going to be "My First." But I don't think I'll complain!

As far as I can remember, when I took my dog to the doctor for mange they gave her some drop (poison or this is what the veterinarian called it) to put on her bath water. I was supposed to this on alternate days for like a month. She was a baby, I had just gotten her from the pound. Now that I think about it, it looks to be the most likely explanation for why Chichi hate water...

Drops that you mix in the water? Interesting! I googled solutions and read different things, including vaccines from the vet, but none mentioned something like that. I'll have to call a vet and ask about that! Thanks for the information!

I believe so. But now that I think about it I might just be confusing them. It could be a special shampoo (and that's what you put in the water) and the "poison" on her paw (you have to make sure they don't lick it. I suggest that you take your pet to the vet just in case. It might be something else. Also, a check up is always nice :D

We ended up going to PetCo to get some things for her and are going to give that a try for a month or so before rushing off to the vet (Since it's really expensive and I'm running low on cash this month) but when we talked to the woman, she said it didn't sound like mange to her. We're hoping she's right.

Seems you had a lot of fun. Hope your allergies left you alone by now. :)

I think it would be best to take your dog to the vet - just to be safe and all.

Yeah, my allergies went away rather quickly! They hit me pretty hard that day, but after a good night's sleep they kind of turned in to a mild case of sniffles, even though I sounded a bit stuffy still.

I can't imagine how people who deal with allergies on a daily basis manage.

We talked to a woman at PetCo and described our situation to her. She said it didn't sound like mange and recommended a product to try for a month before rushing off to the vet, since it's so pricey. Hopefully, it'll do the trick.

That's good. I have a light allergy on dust - which is really just a few sneezes and a lot of sniffles, but I have a horrid allergy on expensive perfumes. My mum loves those so those moments when she's going somewhere are rather painful to me.

Hope your doggy will be o.k. soon :)

Waa, I wanna go to Busch Gardens, it sounds so fun. I remember they would always show commercials for it way up where I lived in New York and it just felt like a cruel and unusual punishment because it was so far away.

Seems like you had a really good time with M-san.

[kurikuribebi]

I've actually never seen a commercial for Busch Gardens! I knew it existed because I vaguely remember my parents taking me when I was very young and because I passed it on the way to the house when I was first coming from the airport. When you look at the map, it looks rather small but there is so much to do and there aren't as many little kids...which makes it so much for fun!

Yeah, we had a good time, thanks!

Looks like you made the most out of your trip to Busch Gardens :3

Congrats on getting over your fear of heights! I don't think I could ever get rid of mine XD

[kurikuribebi]

I never thought I could either but M-san made it totally possible. It seems like with him, I'm always going up in to high places. He must enjoy them. So if I planned on pursuing him seriously, I needed to get over it at some point...

I just didn't expect it to be at such a high place going on loops and turns at amazing speeds.

I guess you can get over anything with the right motivation ^_~

But wow, it doesn't sound like you had a gradual desensitization process XD
