The last two days, I feel like all I have done is ride behind the wheel of my car. Rich has been working late the last few nights and we have seen little of him. Last night, he MSNed me and asked us to come have dinner with him, so we went and picked up a 100,000 point burrito lol It was good though :)

Then Ive been to the vet two days in a row. My guinea pigs are itching and are being treated for mites although the vet didnt find any. I forgot to ask how they get mites because I know its not due to being dirty. I bathe them once every 2 weeks at least! And I clean their cage regularly. But he did say that mites in piggies are normal and easily treated.

Then my dwarf hamster, Dexter, Ive been noticing that he has been losing weight and just last night we figured out that he has lost his top teeth! I took him into the vet today and they dont think his teeth are gonna grow back. So now I have to moisten bird pellets and feed him that way....poor thing.

Besides that....Tina is coming in next weekend and Im looking forward to that. And...I think that is about it!

And while Im thinking about it, has anyone else seen the new WW snack line in the stores? I saw the chocolate cakes, the carrot cakes and the blueberry muffins. They look like/boxed like Little Debbie stuff. I bought a box of the little carrot cakes, they are 1 pt a piece as well as the chocolate cakes. The blueberry muffins are 3 points a piece, but look large.

You have been busy, Shawna! Sorry about your animals. Especially Dexter! Poor thing :(

I haven't seen the new WW snacks. I'll have to check them out. Are they with the other snack cakes? If so, that's probably why I haven't seen them. I usually avoid that aisle because that's always been my weakness.

I would think that they will be kept in the snack aisle but I found them in the produce dept in our Super Walmart lol

Awww...I'm a huge animal freak, and I'm really sorry to hear about your little fuzzy pals. It's nice to hear that someone actually takes their guinea pigs and hamsters to the vet's. I've noticed from working in an animal hopital most of my workinf life, that most people think they are "expendable". I hope they get better.

Mites can come from pet store purchased food for the little guys. Mites are not a sign of a dirty house. Keep your pet food in sealed containers in frig or freezer and you won't be as likely to get mites again.

Well, they didnt find mites or lice on my guinea pigs. But that is what they are gonna treat them for anyhow. I used to think that getting mites did mean something was dirty, but I take care of my animals like I do my child. I clean their cages, feed them and even bathe my piggies. But I was ignorant about how animals get mites. I have actually found that its pretty common for guinea piggies to get it!

So your right...mites has nothing to do with dirt, at least in my case. Luckily, its a cheap remedy and Petie is already acting like he is happier :)

Shawna - I tried the WW chocolate snack cakes today and they are pretty good. Next time I am at Wal-Mart I am going to get the carrot cake and blueberry muffins. I also found them in the bakery section.

I think I like the chocolate ones better than the carrot cake ones but Rich liked the carrot cakes better. And I havent tried the BB muffins yet :)
