Jackson, our colony stray, is mom's pet. He follows her everywhere - to the market, to the temple and everywhere she goes.
Here he is seen licking his mouth after a yummy meal fed by mom.

Looking up at me in the second floor balcony...He always casts a glance up to our floor whenever he walks past.

Jackon, when he was a little pup. He used to look cute even then. Look at his expression :)

You will always be a part of my life

Ear Mites in Dogs

2008-02-15T03:42:00.000-08:00

At some point of time in their lives, all dogs encounter ear mites. Though there are many species of ear mites that can invade your dog's ear, all of them are referred to as 'ear mites'. Ear mites can be found anywhere on the dog's body not just the ears.

Dogs with ear mites will be scratching around their ears or flapping their ears. The initial stages of infection may be tolerant but severe cases casuse extreme discomfort and bleeding in the ears. Check your dog's ears regularly for any brownish residue or a foul odor. All these are symptoms of an ear infection.

Ear mites can be passed from the mother to the pups and also between household pets like cats and rabbits. Ear mites cannot be trasferred from dogs to humans though.

If the ear mites are not treated they may damamge the ear drums or cause hearing loss. Keep your dog's ears always clean and visit the vet in case of an infection.

5. Hyper troubleshooting

So grab hold of the book and watch as your hyper dog undergoes a trasformation.

Marley and Me

2008-02-14T01:38:00.000-08:00

Marley and Me - it could have easily been "Nyx and me". Thats because I was able to visualise myself and Nyx,my labrador swapping places with John Grogan and Marley. Most of the things that Marley has done are so similar to what Nyx does.

I enjoyed reading the book and it brought tears to my eyes as I reached the last few chapters.

Some books that I am looking forward to read are:

The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto

Little Dog Moon

A Dog's Gotta Do What a Dog's Gotta Do: Dogs at Work

What's in a name?

2008-01-01T20:06:00.000-08:00

Choosing a name for your dog is not an easy job. The name reflects your personality as much as it does the dog. Dog names can be selected based on the breed of the dog, the color of the dog or something downright whacky - afterall the dog would never question you as to why you selected a particular name for him.

When we got our Labrador pup, we searched the net for a name that was unique, short and easy to remember. After weeks of deliberation we finally zeroed in on 'Nyx' - which is the name of the Greek Goddess of Illusion. A later search showed that 'Nyx' is infact the Greek Goddess of Night.

Some of Nyx's friends are named as follows

Jerry
Shirley
Zorro
Banjo
Mona Lisa
Vicky
Todo
Saki
Trixie
Shiney

Retriever or Destroyer

2007-12-27T22:11:00.000-08:00

Labrador Retriever as the name suggests are retrievers. They are used by the hunters to retrieve birds or other prey.
But Nyx, my lab, is less of a retriever and more of a destroyer. She enjoys chewing and tearing things apart. This was a big problem when she was a pup. It was impossible to leave her alone at home even for an extended period of time. We would return home to find shredded paper lying everywhere. Shoes, socks, kitchen towels, anything that was within reach was meant to be destroyed.

But over the years Nyx has matured. Now she is not so much of a Destroyer. But she still has moments of pure joy tearing apart stuff. The latest in the list being a lovely stuffed bunny. For the first couple of days, she was very gentle with the bunny. She was very 'soft-mouthed' while carrying the bunny around. 'Soft-mouth' (a desirable characteristic of a retriever) is the ability to carry the prey gently without damaging it.

And Nyx was so gentle handling the bunny. But a couple of days later she was determined to gauge out the eyes and nose of the bunny. And she succeeded. She gauged out the bunny's nose and pulled out all the stuffing. And then had this gleeful look on her face which said - I DID IT.

Cocker Spaniels

2007-12-27T01:23:00.000-08:00

I had been to the Annual Dog Show in Hyderabad. Got to see a lot of dog breeds there. One of my favourites was the Cocker Spaniel. They are such lovely dogs. I later learnt that there are 2 types of Cocker Spaniels - the American Cocker Spaniel and the English Cocker Spaniel. I guess I saw the English Cocker Spaniel.

The most fascinating feature of the Cocker Spaniel,I feel, are its drooping silky ears and those large expressive eyes. I noticed Cockers in a myriad of colors, ranging from - jet black to black & white, to tan, to brown to white and brown.

Cockers are well known for their friendly, quiet, playful and affectionate nature. They make very good family pets. But are equally good as flushing dogs. They are used in hunting to retrieve birds. They do well as performance dogs in the Dog shows too.

One of the most famous Cockers is the character of 'Lady' in the Walt Disney movie - Lady and the Tramp.

Labrador Retrievers

2007-12-27T00:29:00.000-08:00

Labrador Retrievers

The Labrador Retriever is a devoted, friendly, lovable, tolerant dog. They are highly intelligent and good-natured. They love to play, especially in water. They cannot do without human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. You must include them in all your family activities. They enjoy being a part of the group.

I have a Lab. Her name is Nyx and she is 4 years old. We live in an apartment and Nyx gets little exercise indoors. We take her out to play with another female lab called Todo in our apartment. Todo is an year old and is bundle of puppy energy. In general Labs are energetic and love to play hard. But I can say that Nyx is an exception. She doesn’t enjoy long sessions of play. She prefers shorter play times.

There are many labs in our apartment apart from Nyx and Todo. Labs are becoming very popular. They are mainly house pets but are also popular as assistance dogs. They are also widely used by police their detection abilities.

Some info about Labs
Color – they can be black, chocolate or yellow
Coat – short and dense and is water repellant
Temperament – steady, devoted, lovable
Health Problems – they are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, knee problems, eye problems and ear infections.
