No no... not that kind of broken, but he was a mess. Actually he was in such a mess that these photos aren't even from this morning, but another time when he was that other kind of broken. Ninapod does it too sometimes so it must run in the family.
Why was Poppo a mess? He was shampoo'd with just water and not his usual disinfectant shampoo (¥1,500 per 350 ml bottle, FYI)... This causes him to become bright pink and feverish all over. He was itching all over and had bloody scratch marks on his head, back, and chin areas.
I immediately made a bath and dunked him in it, and lathered him up twice in the special disinfectant shampoo (appx ¥250 a lather). Now he's got the Bathtime Blues but at least he's back to being a whitey and not in pain. Emotional pain, yes maybe (he'll get over it), but not the physical kind.
I once heard from someone that it's really hard for parents when their kids have persistent skin problems. I have no idea who I heard this from, but I AGREE.
Poor Poppo. I try to be your Mom, Dad, Godparent, Grandparent, best friend etc... but I don't think I'm ever doing enough for you.

you are being a good parent.
....he looked even more broken this morning than in these photos?
Poppo, I feel your pain. I wish I had someone to bathe me in expensive disinfectant shampoo too.
You can use the bottle if you want to.
500 yen.
Those photos are sooooo cute. Ever thought of making a flip book with those? It looks like Poppo is rolling a 360 there. :)
if we make a flip book, then we can sell it (and they'll sell like hotcakes, obviously), and he can essentially pay for his own expensive shampoo! brill, donkey kong's junior!!
