These crazy rains and random rains tell me that we're in inter-monsoon! I could feel the winds changing directions this time of the year. The Northeast Monsoon is set to return in December! Yayyy. For one, the rains would extinguish all lingering ground and peat fires. The changing winds meant that the haze is done blowing in our direction, and all will be cleansed.
The thunder, however, is crazy. We're back to rumbling and crackling windows. For now, the rains come in the afternoons. I'm thankful. I cannot deal with the 2am and 4am squalls. The poor dog goes into frantic anxiety. She doesn't like the thunder much. She can't sleep, and neither can I. I'll just have to deal with whatever the weather gods dish out.
The return of the monsoon meant that it's Gabapentin season for the dog, and the rise of leptospirosis. Zzzzzz. I'm stocked up to the brim with Gabapentin. I have to be judicious about the dosage of Gabapentin. Her sensitive stomach meant that she might have some gastric irritation if she has a full dose of Gabapentin. She doesn't need to be knocked out. ¼ capsule is usually sufficient to take the edge off. She would still rip up kitchen mats though. So during this season, I try to be at home more often with her.
The dog still has to toilet outside. We simply have to try to win against the weather when it comes to pee and poop timings. Heh. Her leptospirosis vaccine protects against four key strains, and I hope to God that it's sufficient. I'll just be watchful of her licking of grass and all. I'll wipe her down thoroughly during the rainy months, which ironically is all the time as such in an urban city. We also have too much dirt on the ground... cigarette ash and whatever nonsense. She licks her paws all the time. I can't afford to let those bacteria get in to wreak havoc. Pffffft.
