After eating a raw fish, cartman has been down for several days. He didn't eat or drink for two days, poo-poo'ed at home several times. He became a furry ball glued to sofa and didn't want to play or welcome us from work. Finally today he seemed to be back to himself, his food and drink needed be refilled, and his squeaking toy was heard again in the house.

the battle continues

2011-03-10T17:19:00.001-08:00

Cartman used to have the privilege to sleep in my bed, recently he was rid off this privilege and had to sleep downstairs by himself. Of course he has been whining about this consistently. He keeps knocking at the door to upstairs at 6:45am every morning, fifteen minutes later, I will have to come down to walk him. Every morning, on time, each time. A few weeks back, came the regular morning call, then somehow he went quiet. Then there was a white paw pushed the bedroom door open, a white shadow jumped right into my bed. Ah~~ Somehow he figured out to open the door, again! We used one of his old collars to lock the door again, well, sometime he can still manage to open it. Nan had to tie the collar really small and tight. Then, one day I found I cannot open the collar myself! It seemed the latch was halfly broken which resulting in the collar was stuck. Now, I had to do "hurdle" (in slow motion of course) when go downstairs and upstairs. The good thing is now since I cannot open it, Cartman cannot either. He resumed back to his knocking the door routine.

2010-12-27T19:16:00.000-08:00

It felt nice to have a long break. But we haven't done anything yet, no hiking, no archery, nothing.

Cartman has been ignoring our presence at home in day time. He kept up his nap schedule and didn't mind my occasion harassment, but he definitely not actively seeking my company at all. He was like, 'ok, I am only in mood for napping', very much like my mood most time. :)

He's usually most active in the morning, after our early morning walk, which according to his schedule happens every day at 7:00am. He will enjoy jumping around in my bed, and finding the soft spot to crawl himself in for a while. Then he would suddenly remember and need go downstairs. A few minutes later, he jumps back to the bed with some effort since he is mouthful of his money toy. He needs his company and his definition of being cozy. :)

"在美帝贫乏的物质条件下，我该省的省，该山寨的山寨，该自由发挥的发挥

最后选择的材料：
鸭血（嘘～其实是猪血），猪肝，粉丝，青菜，
豆腐泡泡（发现家里没有了，竟然用鱼肉饼山寨冲样子，令人发指。。。我再也不敢了。。）
用到的配料和调味：
1：姜，葱，大料，花椒，香叶，草果，银杏，党参
2：胡椒面，花椒面，辣椒油，盐，生抽，香菜碎，我还喜欢放些醋
程序一切为了方便和保留风味，跟现实小店的做法不太一样，但是对我来说是最优的了。
鸭血浸泡干净切成小块，容易碎要轻，焯水。
取一汤锅，放入配料1，加入很多水
浸泡干净的鸭肝切块在汤锅中水中煮熟，加入鸭血继续煮，大概30分钟的样子。
这样子，这锅汤，就可以保存着，每次取一部分汤和鸭血鸭肝用就好了
在一只汤碗里，放入调料2
另一起锅，从汤锅里取适量鸭汤鸭血鸭肝，煮开放入豆腐泡泡，任何你喜欢放的蔬菜，煮
最后放入泡好的粉丝2～3分钟即捞出放入汤碗中，讲调料和汤混合好。
成了。。
其实真正鸭血粉丝汤里也没有放什么蔬菜等，我还是觉得需要根据自己的需求来变化。。
真的。。。味道非常一致。。。用鼻子和舌头鉴定过的。。大爱。。。"

Petco toys

2010-11-01T10:21:00.000-07:00

Petco has much better plush toy selection for dogs. Cartman has loved the orange plush deer gift so much, he carried it everywhere. Now it's beyond repair. It's time to get Cartman some new pets. Here are his new favorite, a big monkey and a small tiger. The monkey has soft head and body, long hands and legs, which has the same quality as the orange deer. What not to love? Cartman fells in love with it immdiately and carries him to bed too. :)

He is happy

Mimi profile

2010-10-02T11:56:00.001-07:00

Mimi
havanese
~7 pounds
Her face gets extended with two ears popping up when she looks up to you, like that yellow Pokemon with same triangle ears. 踮脚站起时,两个尖耳朵展开,很有趣.
Very smart, she actually listens to you, picks up things quickly, which is way better than Cartman.
She doesn't like to be picked up, she loves to run around by herself.
Brave, can stand up for herself. Cartman finally gets to know her after a few days. In the first one or two days, icy Mimi defended her food, treat, her time with us seriously. Though how can u take her seriously with her two piecing ears? :) Even after Cartman figured her out and started to kiss her more(with his teeth, I assume that's kiss), Mimi is a strong girl, she can take Cartman nevertheless.
And she is so sweet. She greets u with her small paws, with her whole body... Another pile of honey...

"we love chicken!!"

2010-10-02T10:50:00.001-07:00

picking up bad habit

2010-09-28T19:49:00.001-07:00

Begging is one of Cartman's big bad habits, now Mimi is picking that up too. We try not to give her table food since it is not good for her. As for Cartman, he is a lost cause... :(

Well, they want eat the other's food. I had to put Mimi's bowl inside her cage and lock the door to prevent Cartman quickly eat it all up. In the morning Cartman clearly remembers where Mimi's food was, and jumped into Mimi's cage looking for it, a higher priority than going outside to have a morning walk...
Mimi eats Cartman's food too. And she loves his treat, especially the rawhide ring. She growls when Cartman wants it back. He was not interested in it of course until Mimi wants it. Giving one to each did not solve the conflict totally. A lot of chasing and growling.

Well, back to feeding problem. It seems the solution is very simple: I put Mimi's food in Cartman's bowl, and his in hers. Then, these two silly dogs are very happy to eat their own food from the other's bowl. Peace and quiet, not to mention two full bellies.

the biggest loser

2010-09-19T06:44:00.001-07:00

among all three of us is actually Cartman. He lost 3 pounds, his belly felt not that round any more with his brand new weight of 23 pounds. The two weeks boarding school experience did something to him. Playing all day with other dogs must slim him down. And sadly I found the answer to the question: - how long would it take for Cartman to forget me? - two weeks. He totally forgot me!! When we brought him back yesterday at 8pm from Pooch hotel, he just came out from inside room and ran aimlessly here and there, never looked at me or nan. Ugh... He and his cute long hairs. He was just busy panting, and didn't pay any attention to me any more. We are on the mission to bring back his memory now. Upon arriving home, he went straight to his feeding place. He seemed to be happy to find his water and food are still there. Then he checked out his big comfy pillow, "yeah, it's still there too, good." He was content. He drank lots of water right away. Poor thing, he must be thirsty for a while. He ran happily around and started to wiggle his tails (for first time after our reunion) when nan started to fetch his toy with him.

We had simple instant noodle, which means not interesting things like chicken he can eat. He remained his close watching pose when we were eating and must be a bit disappointed. His eyes are behind his long hair, which made him a very serious look.

When time to bed, he rolled again and again in the bed and enjoyed the familiar smell. But, he started to whine loudly in the middle of night, I had to let him go downstairs. He was busy cruising in the house for a while and finally settled in the sofa.

In the morning I found his food and water were empty again, and swiftly gave him more food and water. He liked it. Now after the second bowl of food, he is finally happily sleeping in my bed, started to dream while hugging his toy he purposefully carried upstairs.

Good to be home. :)

"Inception"

2010-07-24T17:14:00.001-07:00

When "Dark Knight" ended, a lot of people applauded in the theater . That happened to "Harry Potter" series too, of course. And when "Inception" ended, one person in theater went out a big loud disgruntled "Ugh~~", and most of us laughed at that in agreement. It was a great fun to watch this movie. We were truly entertained, emotionally invested and intellectually challenged. That's why the ending was a big "ugh~~", for the movie left ourselves to decide if this is a tragical ending or a happy and triumphant one. And, all of us were like, 'come on, give us a break, you (the director) have exercised our mind enough, why not just give us a straight answer?" What a great movie!

And there are two my favorite actresses (Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page), and of course Leo. Great cast and great story.

He got three shots during Friday's annual check-up. Last evening and
today he seemed to be suffering a swollen butt. He squeezed like his
feet being stepped when I touched his butt and walked away from me
with enough anger. It's his left butt. :D Poor guy. This is his first
time to have some reaction from a vet visit. This also anwsered our
constant doubt that if the dog ever received more than one hundred
dollar worth shots during each anual visits. He was sent to a room and
was sent back unchanged in five minutes. Well, this time he must meet
some inexperienced nurse...

CARTMAN~~~~ I have kept diligent on using Advantage-K9 on him. But I did kept his hair style long for a while now. This furry ball must attract too many bugs.. He himself seems not have any itchy problems, all bugs are jumping on to me now. :(( Hopefully tomorrow's petsmart special bath will make both of us happy and bug-free for summer.
