Christmas 2013 Exhibition...

We were at the rink pretty much all day today just watching the other skaters- all 140 of them, one right after another for six hours straight. Lots of cute costumes... and no judges- yeah! Jasmine skated to "Candy Cane Lane". I have lots of video (the professional one) of Jasmine's performance. She actually skated pretty well:) Roz and Jasmine. Jasmine, Katie Kaedden, Anais VanderVoorn, Isabella, two students I don't know, and Rozaline. There was some football game today between ASU and Stanford so they are saying "ASU, ASU, ASU....". We don't really care either way who wins:), but Rozaline is an ASU student, so I guess we should cheer on the home team. Annali, Theresa and Jasmine. Jasmine takes full advantage of the fact that Theresa likes to carry her around. Getting Katie ready to go on the ice. Jasmine had already skated. Katie's mom- Jacky. She would kill me if she knew I took a picture of her- even though it's just the top of her head.

Guinea Pig emergency!....

One of our little pigs "Skittles" has always been kind of coughy and sneezy since we got her last summer. Two days ago, I found her in mild respiratory distress:( - breathing rapidly, making clicking noises, very anxious and grinding her teeth... but of course, she is still eating well and hasn't lost weight, which is amazing! I quickly ordered some antibiotics in a smaller dose to be overnighted to us, and it took forever!! They (the compounding pharmacy) assured me I would have the prescription on my doorstep the next morning, and of course- that didn't happen. They were 12 hours late! I had to rig up a human version of the drug and give her a couple of not so accurate doses. She is about 50% better now. If that little pig succombs, we are in deep doo-doo:)! She is sitting right next to me now, eating and relatively happy. It was funny getting a package addressed to "Skittles Stolz":))
