Hello & Goodbye...

Oh maaan, I waited for these cutesies (2008 K2 Celena T:9) for so long only to find out that they don't fit true to their size :o( Now I gotta return them and have them exchanged to a new pair one size bigger. Dang it.

They're really nice though. I love the color, since they wouldn't easily get dirty even after so much use. The black and yellow combo is not common with women's skates plus I fell head over heels with its girly design :o) Haaay, can't wait to get the right size and break them in!

Bugs Bugs Bugs and more VW Bugs!

We went to checkout the annual Bug-O-Rama held at the Firebird International Raceway since hubby is crazy about VW bugs :o) We had a blast getting up close and personal with different types of VW's. Uber uber uber cool! Click here for pictures!

I have a soft spot when it comes to bugs as well. My very first car back in highschool was a good 'ol VW bug. Good and bad memories will always be associated with it, haha.

Anyhoo, the most fun part of the show is the drag racing... yep, bugs on the racing track!! Here's a video of one of the coolest we've seen that day :o)

I'd Do Anything...

Just to be one of those skinny kitties... so I could fit into that pair of pants I've had in my closest for years... I got it ages ago hoping that one day, I could wear it with my favorite top. It just didn't happen... well, I didn't make it happen.

Sheeeeeez. I'm just friggin' fat!!!!

So, I am challenging myself once more... These are the reasons why I haven't been updating my blog lately - uber busy kicking my own butt!!

My goal is to continue doing all these until I get really skinny and disappear :o) Craziness.

Bad Case of the Runs...

Poor Chewy & Skye... they've been having diarrhea for the past several days :o( I was panic- stricken and must have scrounged every info on the web that I could find to try remedies at home.

They're not at all lethargic and they're still pretty active & playful so I don't want to bring them to the vet yet.

Now I know how my mom felt everytime our dogs at home get sick... oh maaaan...

This morning I got up and thought something smelled funny. I went outside to check the kiddos and true enough, I almost got sick with the strong smell coming from the living room. There I saw Chewy's mud-like poop on the floor. I got really mad at him, so I scolded him and made sure he knows he's not supposed to do that. By the look on his face, it seemed that he was sorry. I know it wasn't his fault but this is the 3rd time this week that he had this "accident" at night.

I'm really getting desperate and worried that there's more to it than just bouts of diarrhea. Last week, I gave him pepto-bismol for 2 days, it seemed liked it helped. I also stopped giving him dry kibbles, instead I cooked basmati rice and boiled chicken and peas so he's pretty much eating bland food.

When I saw Skye's kinda having runny poop as well, I started giving her the same bland diet. She seemed to get better after a day or two since her poop sorta cleared up. I still kept them on the bland food until last night when I run out of chicken. I thought maybe I should give them their regular food since both of them looked like they're doing better.

I should have known better. How can I be so stupid to give them regular food????

So this morning, I geared up with hubby's aero safety mask (yes, this picture you're seeing here) so I wouldn't have to inhale all the gut-flipping aroma while cleaning up the mess.

Then I realized, it was not just Chewy who had an "accident", Skye had her mess inside her kennel as well!!! Daaaaaannnngggggg!!! Her doggie bed was spoiled with poop all over... yaiiikkkkkssssssssssss!!!!!! So hubby ended up tossing out her bed by the trash outside our backyard.

Goodness.

In fairness this is the first time I didn't throw up while cleaning up after them. As embarrassing to admit it as it is, yes... I do get sick with their poop, but what can I do? Exactly the same reason why hubby always ends up picking up their poop from our yard cuz I just can't stand it. This time, I know I have to learn to do it on my own so I conditioned myself already. So I scooped them up like an expert - without throwing up this time! I guess the mask did help a lot!

Still panic-stricken, I called up the vet and asked them if they do fecal tests. I just want to make sure they're not having any parasites or some bacteria inside them. Good thing I can just drop off the sample without me having to bring the kiddos to their clinic. So I prep'd 2 sterilized bottles and took samples of their "droppings", sealed and wrap them up tightly and chilled them with ice packs and cubes. Then off I drove to the vet. I'll just have to wait for the lab results next week. I hope the results would turn out A-ok.

What a way to spend my Saturday morning...
