I'm A Star!

Hey bloggeroos! Did you see me on TV? Did you?! Did you?! Hihihi, I was! I was! Well, atleast I think I was. But let me start at the very beginning...

It all happened when I was in Eastwood with my family last week to join the World's Longest Line. Yup, it was the longest line of people and doggies - well, me (and let's ignore those 2 mean doggies who tried to chase me away) - ever! Why, I've never seen so many people in my whole life! There were so many of us falling in line, I didn't even know what we were falling in line for. At first I thought it was for food, and I was so excited! But then we didn't get any food, so I guess I was wrong. Hmmm, maybe I should ask my ates...

Anyhoo bloggeroos, there I was, falling in line with my ates and kuyas. Even then, a lot of people were already pointing at me and trying to touch me. But I'm used to it by now, hihihi. I just tried to be as gracious and friendly as I could, even with that one little girl who tried to take me with her. I just kept my cool and smiled a lot. Fans love that you know, hihihi.

Well, as I was saying, there I was minding my own business, when there came this girl and a guy. She was holding a microphone and talking and pointing at me, while the guy was carrying a big big camera. She kept telling the guy "Focus on the Dog, focus on the dog!" Why, they're the media! Wow, I was a star, I tell ya! Hihihi, I guess they just couldn't miss my star quality ;) Well, again I kept my cool and kept on walking and smiling. Gotta act sophisticated you know, hihihi. Now if only I knew what TV station they aired it... hmmm...

Oh, here's a picture of one of my fans who kept petting me...

I'm irresistable!


Well, in the end, I couldn't keep my cool anymore cause I got so hungry. I saw this chicken leg on the floor, and, well, you see... I love chicken... so I picked it up and tried to take a bite. Just a small small bite. But my ates didn't let me. That made me sad :(



I'm hungry :(


Later on, ate LA fed me chicken from her plate, and I guess was happy with that. Didn't get to eat much though...

Oh well, atleast I got to be part of the World's Longest Line.

I'm All Well Now

Wow, it's been so long since I've posted anything here. Let me see... my last entry was September 12 - that was more than a month ago! Goodness, you blogmates must have missed me a lot! Well, I missed you too. Hey I know, why don't you come visit me sometime? I'd go visit you but I'm sure I'll get lost, hihihi.

Ok, so the main reason why I was not able to write until now was because I got sick. I mean, REALLY sick :( I got me a case of BABESIA - atleast that's what I heard from the doctor (whom I hate, by the way). They said it's a blood parasite. It was destroying my red blood cells, whatever that is. It was really bad. I got this very high fever. At first, ate Sheila and ate LA thought I've been sunbathing on the terrace again. But I didn't. I was just hot. And I felt so weak too. I kept running out of breath and I couldn't be my bouncy, hyper self. I guess that's when my ates got really worried. Ate LA brought me to the hospital, and it was the worst! They kept poking me and sticking things inside me. They even took some of my blood! I was so terrified :(

I hate going to the hospital. It's a bad, scary place. But they kept bringing me back there over and over again. I don't think it's my ates faults though cause they don't seem to like to go there too. And they hugged me and held me throughout the time I'm being scared. I was so scared I trembled! No it's not my ates faults. It's the doctors. Yup, it's them alright. They kept making me go back there. And I don't want to anymore :(

Another thing I don't like about being sick, aside from the hospital and feeling weak? It's the medicines. And I've got tons of them! They kept feeding me those stuff for the longest time. And at odd hours too. Sometimes I'm already asleep and they'd wake me up just to give me those awful tasting medicines. Yuck!

Here's a picture of me when I had the fever. Don't know why my ates kept putting that wet towel on my head... probably the doctor's order again. See how thin I got? :(

I'm a helpless little Dutchy :(

Well, atleast it's over now. After 1 month of treatment, I think I'm well now. I can even go to gimiks again. Why, just the other day, I even went to the airport with ate LA and ate Sheila to drive our daddy there. Then we went to Eastwood to have lunch. Hihihi, I'm sure glad I can go running again without feeling so out-of-breath.

Here are some pictures of us eating at Bacolod Chicken. Ate Sheila is the designated photographer so you can't see her there, hihihi.
Got my own chair again, hihihi I love their Inasal na Atay!

Well, that's it for me for now. I'll try to post again soon. Gotta go eat now. Bye bloggeroos!
