[ drawing ] My dog 2
🕑 Added 2024-12-30 04:35:12 +0000 UTCRelated post
When I wrote this post in November, I was actually crying... haha. I remember writing and deleting it over the course of two days. So I thought I wrote a pretty long post, but it's short π Maybe that's why, when I look back at the sketch from back then, I feel a bit of sadness in the lines.
Now, two months later, everything is better than before.
There have been a lot of things that have happened in the meantime, He is still undergoing treatment, but his energy has improved a lot.
I wanted to share a sketch of his brighter appearance π

When a dog becomes anemic, ears and gums turn white. I never knew about this before, but since he got this disease, I check his ears and gums every morning and night. His ears have become a lot pinker now.
If your dog is lethargic, please check this. If the ears and gums are white, it is anemia, and if they are yellow, it is jaundice and It is an emergency situation, so it is important to get to the hospital quickly. This happens suddenly, almost in a day or two. My dog ββdidn't eat anything wrong, and there were no ticks or parasites, but this just happened. The hospital is assuming it's a genetic factor. His mother also had a similar disease.(IMT)

He's been on steroids for a long time, so his fur has fallen out a lot. And I cut it short to check his condition well. The expression is more visible than when the fur was thick.very cute π He seems to be in a much better mood lately.

It's so important to me that his ears are pink π

January 1st is my dog's birthday.
I'm trying to think hard about what to get him for his birthday. (I used to always give him delicious food, but now his diet is restricted )
He will be 11 in a few days!

Happy birthday to your pup! So happy he is doing better these days! π₯°π©·

Yes, when I get better at drawing him, I want to create content about dogs. Right now, whenever I draw a picture, I feel like my drawing is differentπ! All curly-haired dogs are cute. I'm sure your dog would be lovely too.
pikaole
Hehehe thank you so much! I'll try to capture more of his cuteness next year too!
pikaole
Thank you! We are planning to go to another family's house and have a party to celebrate his birthday :D

Iβm so glad your little buddy is on the mend. π Hope he has a good birthday!

I missed the first post about him, but I'm glad to know he is already doing better :) Usually drawings of dogs with curlier hair bother me because they don't look quite right, but I love yours! And I had two dogs that looked like him so that makes me appreciate the drawings even more! I would love an icon pack of him π€
Katherine Allan
I'm so glad Yallet is doing better! Your drawings of him are SO cute β₯
pikaole
Thank you! He loved dolls when he was a baby, but after he turned 1, he lost interest in all kinds of toysπ I think a blanket would be a great idea! He really likes soft things π
pikaole
We know how different Bichon looks when he has no fur π Haha, thye are cute in my eyes with or without fur. I will throw him the best doggy birthday party ever!
pikaole
Thanks Kathryn! Yeah, he is really strong! I am so luck to have such a brave dog. Happy New Year!

Oh no! Anemia must go away our life! I also have anemia and have to take iron pill for the rest of my life π I hate side effects of that medicine-I'm always in the bathroom π π π
pikaole
Sure! I'll give him twenty minutes of petting from right now π
pikaole
Thanks Ayisha! I'm so happy to be with him this year and next year. I wish you a happy holiday season and a happy new year too!
pikaole
Thank you so much Finch π π π π π
pikaole
Thank you! Looking back, it seems like 2024 was a tough year to us π 2025 will be much better!

glad to hear Yallet is doing better!! I have to take a massive red iron pill every day at the moment because of acute anemia so I can relate to his poor white gums lol. happy nearly birthday Yallet!!
pikaole
Thank you for the warm comfort! Yes, I just wish they would tell us when they are sick π animal observation is my specialty β¨ so I hope to catch details and as many as possible and help him live as long as possible!
pikaole
Thank you very much Andi! π
pikaole
Thank you Ellie! Happy early 2025!
pikaole
Thank you! Please tell your sister thank you too. I have read the information from the site your sis shared many times. I was not sure if I would be able to with him in 2025 that time, but now I am so glad that this day has come!
pikaole
All puppies are babies no matter how old they are! Thank you so much and sending soft kisses to Joeyπ

I took so many pictures of Yallet and almost posted a thousand of him because they were all so cute to me but I had to restrain myself π

I heard that when there is inflammation, the dog's body temperature rises and it makes them suffer. In my case, it was summer, so I bought an air conditioner for yallet ππ - Thanks to that, people also stayed cool πΈπΈπΈ The cooling mat is a really great gift! In my case, I cut the fur myself. (I have grooming scissors, a comb, and a pet clipper. Scissors require experience, but if your dog has a gentle personality, may use the clippers at home. so I don't use a pet grooming, but I saw an information in the chatroom that recommended finding a place where someone can watch you when you get your dog groomed. - It's may dangerous if the bleeding doesn't stop depending on the medicine or condition.

Your comment yesterday made me thought I should share some information. Meanwhile I was so flustered that I didn't think about share information things! I also didn't know much about the color difference for a few months, but after observing it for a long time, I think I know a little bit now. I think I still lack experience, and when things get more organized and I know more, I should draw some and share throw social media π€

So adorable!! At the beginning, I thought, βI want to see a picture if Yallet. And halfway through reading the post, there he is!! Thank you so much!
pikaole
i'm so sorry for your loss. I just found out about her, but I can tell from this comment that she was happy for you - because she would have been at the beach and park in you?r love. This inspired me to think of another idea.He is immunocompromised and can't meet other dogs but he loves people, so I need to invite people for him π
Doc Jaybird
I lost my doggo in November, and she was such a sweet baby! I love that your boy is getting better and feeling more lively, maybe you could take him to a beach or a park for his birthday! Then he could meet new friends and sniff new smells and be with his favourite person.

As for gifts, I recently got my PIMA pup a cooling mat because she had been running hot even now that it's a little cold because of the meds. But we haven't been able to find a place that can give her a groom yet (where she will be away from other dogs) so she's a bit fluffy. Mostly... π (except for the shaved parts, oy). If Yallet gets hot then maybe he'll like that? But since he has shorter fur then maybe a cozy sweater. Snowbie has a sensitive tummy so even though she can't eat too many things sometimes I give her teeny, tiny pieces of yummy food. Super, super tiny pieces like crumbs that I might sprinkle on her food. I think she appreciates the variety it adds, even if a little bit. Not sure if that is an option because of the dietary restrictions, though. She has been enjoying heated up, chopped green beans lately and those are tolerated well. π« I think she enjoys them more than I do π

Happy early 11th birthday, Yallet! That pink is looking good on you. π©· I am sooo happy Yallet is feeling better with his treatment. It shows in the drawings that he has more energy and is brighter which the differences in color can be hard to see in photographed pictures unless you're actually looking for the differences. This is informative and makes it easy to understand what to look for in case there may be an issue--IMHA, PIMA or otherwise--where an immediate visit to the vet could be lifesaving. Maybe someone's pet will be helped in the future because of the information here. You never know!
Kelly
I really love the different expressions and angles that you captured. My sister and I are so happy to hear that he feels better. I hope he will live a long and happy lifeπππ
Avalon Bernd
He is SUCH a baby β€οΈ I hope he continues to improve and know that he is dearly loved π₯°
Kelly
Itβs true, the last post of your Yallet sketches looked more sad and heavy, but still full of love. This time, the lines are lighter and have more energy. But I like both very much.
Ellie Baines
Happy almost 11th birthday!
Andi
Iβm glad to hear that heβs doing better!!
Dragonsmirk
Oh I'm sorry to hear Yallet is sick, but I'm glad to hear he's improving. I hope he is with you many more years. It's always hard when the little friends are ill and can't tell you what's wrong. Happy birthday Yallet!
Animestar
I can barely express how much I love these. Give Yallet lots of extra pets for me! π
Ayisha
Heβs so so cute! Iβm glad heβs doing better and happy early 11th birthday! <3

I'm so happy to hear he's doing so much better β€οΈ happy 11th birthday Yallet!! Such a strong little guy π₯°
Anne Groth
Iβm glad Yallet is feeling better! I had a bichon growing up who lost a lot of fur because of steroids too. He looked naked when he got a haircut π«£ I hope Yallet has a good birthday celebration
Elinor Wahl
I'm so glad that Yallet is better! <3 If you can't give him fancy food for his birthday, give him a stuffed toy? Or maybe a sweater, or a fleecy blanket to sleep on - something to keep him warm because of his lost fur.
