Excuse Me | Ciclavia Part 3

Would you happen to have change for a dollar?

I would really hate it if I got towed away.

OMD, what a blast, CicLAvia was!

I highly recommend it to everyone, and DO NOT forget your furry friends either. 

Because I just got back from a full 5-hour ride, I can't really post much today. I will therefore share with you just a little trailer about my adventures in CicLAvia in Downtown L.A.--the same streets where I was found starving, with a broken leg, after having been thrown out of a moving vehicle . . . five years ago. I'm one lucky rescue dog BTW.

No worries. We didn't fall down once, although M did pause a bit of a threat however, ehem.

Happy Sunday

Practice Run for CicLAvia

We spent the day getting our bikes ready for CicLAvia.

We were going to take our Dog Stroller, but we ran into a technical difficulty. I'm not going to complain. I much prefer PLAN B!

HERE WE COME!!

I also noticed M pack a bunch of yummy dog treats. I'm so excited, I'm not sure I'll be able to catch a wink tonight. Get it? No wink for the Twink...

Help Me Find My Identity

For a while now, my aquatic turtle bro, Donatello, named after the famous Ninja Turtles, has been asking me to help him figure out his identity. As Donie keeps wading around in his fish tank, he keeps asking himself the question: "Who's my daddy?"

I dedicate this weekend to my turtle bro. Perhaps there's a turtle expert among us who can help figure out what Donie is. When he joined our family, he was supposed to be a Red Eared Slider--WRONG.

Take it bro!

Hello! I'm Donatello!

 I'm the kittens' favorite pastime.

 I just wish I knew what type of a turtle I am!

 I love to swim, but I have to come out of the water to breathe. I also have webbed toes.

 What do you guys think?

 That finger looks pretty friendly, and enormous. I'm only 4 inches long now, 

and I'm over 3 years old. I'm also hard headed, um, hard shelled.

 I love swimming in our outdoor pond, but unfortunately I can't stay out there. The raccoons would eat me, yikes!

 I took the plunge into the refreshing pond water. Yay!

I would appreciate any feedback as to what I am. 

Sincerely, 

Donatello, Twinkie's brother

Wordless Wednesday On Thursday

Wordless Wednesday Postponed For An Update

On Monday, I told you about our senior dog's, Linguini's grave illness over the weekend. We were worried she would be going to the rainbow bridge soon. She was lame, in excruciating pain, drained, and weak from a challenging weekend.
Tuesday was a brand new day! M was on her way back from Petco when, two doors down from our home, she noticed the Pasadena Humane Society Truck with all its lights flashing. No, it was NOT a mountain lion sighting. It was a spotted dog retrieval mission.
Linguini, partially named after Houdini, had ESCAPED AGAIN.

M got a lovely Case Number and a WARNING.

Linguini is being renamed Lazarous and her vet has been proclaimed Dog Vet of the Century!!!

Once again, thanks to Linguini, our household is black listed with the Pasadena Humane Society. The good news is: the fugitive was apprehended on the spot, get it? SPOT! BOL

Another happy end to a Linguini adventure.

Attention Spaghetti's Friends

Ooops, I meant to say, Linguini's friends. This past weekend, our spotted girl, Linguini, the 11.5 year old dalmatian mix, became severely ill--notice it was the weekend again. She developed incontinence of . . . oh well, all orifices.
First thing Monday morning, we took her to the dog vet.  After a thorough check up, including a liver panel to make sure that the Rimadyl she's on long term did not cause any damage, Linguini was pronounced quite healthy (considering her advanced dog arthritis). She was prescribed  stronger pain meds to be taken sparingly ONLY as needed. She was also prescribed an anti-inflamatory drug to keep her from having dog diarrhea. She was already on DES for her incontinence, but her dosage was increased.
We're still waiting for the culture, but for now the dog vet was pretty clear:

The Happy End
