Poor fireball has problems again. He was taken in for a tooth trim on Friday, as I noticed that he still wasn't eating well and one of his teeth was turning brown again. Things turned out a bit more serious than just a tooth trim, and he might need surgery to pull out one of his bottom teeth. He went home from the vet in a box, and was quarantined for a day and half on towels in a tiny cage.



He was a much happier piggy when he was returned to his piggy friends. He's eating okay, although he's on painkillers. He has an appointment for Tuesday to see if he'll need to get his tooth taken out. Right now he's loafing around (he fell asleep in the hay pile today) and being a good pig pig!

When an coworker mentioned a two foot pizza last week, I was deliciously intrigued. A trip to Saline secured the pizza. It was...delicious! Picture proof below.

I finally bit the bullet and got rid of my old running shoes. If you check out the picture, you can note the lack of tread and the chunk of the heel missing. That's not dirt around the lack-of-tread area, that's the shoe being worn away. They have been replaced with some very light and snazzy Nikes.

When looking for a new running shoe, the local running store had me walk around to check out my feet, and picked out some choice shoes for me try out. When I couldn't figure out if I wanted the Nikes or the Brooks, the storesperson offered to let me run around outside the store. A very nice offer, but I would've felt a little silly sprinting around in my skirt.

As it turns out, the shoes I ended up with are Nike+ ready. You stuff the sensor under the sole in the pocket built into the shoe. Pretty neat! I have a Nike+ flash on the left side after all the links on this site, that show my latest Nike+ runs. Also awfully neat! It doesn't seem to be auto updating though...hrm. Might have to fix that.

Burger time! Vanilla wafers, peppermint patties, coconut, and frosting.

I tried to get a picture with Fireball the Fat too, but once he saw the tiny burger coming his way, he ran away in terror.
