Eiji's Diary
Waterboy - 16 Jul 2009

You know how I like water and like to play in it. And that I'm taking swimming lessons at a pool biweekly. Now, I'm taking it a step further. I'm trying to swim in the lake at the woods and it seems to go well.
Katinka has taking me with her on walks a couple of times lately after my bronchitis and we sometimes go to the woods. I was always looking at Shunka swimming after the ducks and it seems she's enjoying herself, so I finally decided to take chance. And it seems it is easier than it looks.
So today I tried it again and with the hot weather the last couple of days, the water feels really cool and refreshing. I was liking it so much that I didn't want to stop anymore and I swam four times. After that I had to stop from Katinka.
So I'm now soaking wet and I can't wait until Jessica is home to tell the good news. And she will be pleased to see that I'm full of leafes and seeds from plants and that she will have to brush that all out ^_^
Bronchitis - 13 Jul 2009

After a week of taking medicin and taking it easy I'm not coughing and sneezing anymore. I had to take 2 pills a day to get better, but I like to make it hard to take those pills.
The first day I'm willing to take them because I want to check the taste first. After not liking it (that always happens, but you'll never know that there will be a pill that taste good), I try to refuse to take it for the rest of the period. I don't open my mouth or if the pill is giving by wrapping something tasty around (like bacon), I eat the tasty bit and spit out the pill ^_^
But Jessica doesn't give up. If I don't take the pill like that, she puts her hand around my mouth and pushes the pill in it and then quickly closes my mouth and rubs my throat so that I'm forced to swallow it. I'll have to find a way against this.
I want to help, but that's mine - 10 Jul 2009

You know how it goes. You see something laying on the ground and it's really soft and you just want to have it. Well, I had that this week.
The renovation works are done and now Jessica's mother is cleaning everything very thoroughly. As a result, she has to sit down on her knees sometimes to clean the bottom of furniture. To ease her knees she puts a pillow underneath them. But when she's not on the floor, the pillow lays around and I started checking that pillow out.
It's very soft and it seemed very handy when I'm eating cookies or a bone. So when I got a cookie or a bone, I decided to check out how that would help. And the result is... it is very easy and helps me. So know I constantly put my cookies and bones on the pillow and eat them of the pillow. When I don't do that, it's also a fun toy to play with.
Ofcourse, Jessica's mother isn't pleased with that and always tries to take the pillow away. And she succeeds always. That is just not fair.
On the other hand, while cleaning out the cabinets I'm very curious. So I always end up following Jessica's mother around and standing in front of her feet to get the best view of everything.
And after a couple of times, she gets fed up with that and when Jessica's home, she calls for her and demands she takes me out for a walk so that I won't get on her nerves anymore. I don't get it. I'm just doing my duty by inspecting everything.
I'm sick - 06 Jul 2009

Yesterday I was coughing and because Jessica was worried we hurried to the vet after her work to make sure it wasn't something contagious for Sammy (I can't believe he's almost turning 15 years old).
It turns out that I have Bronchitis and now I have to take pills to get better for a whole week. I'm currently very slow and not my happy self. I sometimes cough some phlegm. Let's hope it's all over soon, because I don't like that taste in my mouth.
I do eat.... - 03 Jul 2009

Do you remember me telling about BARF and what I like and don't like. Well,... after some time you do start to try other things.
To I tried to eat horse because Jessica had fooled me by pretending that was all I was going to get. And I did eat it. It is not so bad, but I won't jump for joy when I eat it. I'd rather eat chicken or beef.
Vegetable mix I still don't eat, but I do like to eat the raw eggs on a side and drink the milk. In terms of yoghurt I do eat it, but it depends on the brand. My favorite is Danonino, but not the strawberry flavor because that's to sweet.
I'm still hoping to discover new kinds of delicious meet though ^_^
