Addie just recently went into heat for the first time (snuck up on us – we were still thinking she was just a puppy). For anyone that’s never had a (ahem) bitch in heat, it can be a bit messy. To combat this we’ve employed a couple pairs of old undies – much to our amusement.

She’s surprisingly good natured about the whole thing and doesn’t seem to pay hardly any attention to her sexy panties. In a week or so when the bleeding stops and the “come get me boys!” starts, we’re betting that might change.

And before anyone starts yelling at us for not having her spayed yet – we completely meant to get her spayed before she ever went into heat, but as mentioned, it totally snuck up on us. We’ve called around and will be taking her to a vet next month.

Should anyone know of a good vet in Suzhou (SIP), please let me know.

And to keep you laughing…

Server Move

Apologies if the site is acting wonky. I’ve just migrated to a new (Asia-based) server, so things may be a bit up and down until the hiccups pass. Once they do though, speeds should be much improved for all us folks in China.

However, it’s officially the weekend, and I’m in the mood for some Olympic-sized funnies:

The Beijing Olympics: Are They A Trap?

Every time she says that “Oh, they’re going to wait until it gets dark, and they’re going to bring out their dragons” I pee a little.

Even more hilarious is that some couChinesegh folks on the YouTube page seem to think that ONN = CNN and missed that this is satire.

I’ve been itchy all week (seriously – I think I have hives or something), and fortunately I caught this video explaining it’s just Olympic Fever.

Chinese Officials: Deadly Virus Sweeping China Is Just Olympic Fever

And finally, check out “Green-Clad Olympic Archer Steals Gold Medals From Rich, Gives Them To Poor”

He’s probably a Canuck – just looking to bring something home to Canada.

Also stumbled across this funny video of the Daily Show in China (h/t Shanghaiist):

On that note, some rather fantastic news from the SFist (the Shanghaiist‘s West-side cousin, to the east):

Looking to honor the forty-third President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, the recently formed Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is looking to change the name of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility. It seems the group would like to rename the SF Zoo adjacent facility to the “George W Bush Sewage Plant.”

Genius.

The local grassroots movement, helmed by “Wayne Pickering,” is proposing an ordinance initiative for the November 2008 San Francisco ballot in order to get the poop/pee/vomit plant’s title changed. Why? To honor our current leader of the free world with an “appropriate and enduring legacy, for no other president in modern American history has accomplished so much in such a short time.

We think this is an excellent idea.

As do I – read more of the article to find out how you can help.
