2011 Ford Fiesta SES Review - For People Who Don't Think Big.

2011 Ford Fiesta SES

When I first starting looking for new cars, I never once considered a larger vehicle. To me, smaller was always better. Compact, lightweight, meant faster speeds and better agility. So when i started hunting for my next vehicle, I came across the Ford Fiesta. I knew I wanted a brand new spanking "never been touched on the knee" kind of car. And when I laid my eyes upon the Fiesta, an abundance of dirty thoughts crossed my mind. I wanted this car so badly I had to have it.

The Ford Fiesta is a car unlike other compacts. It features the luxury of a mid sized sedan but in a tiny midget body. I upgraded and got the SES version which includes heated leather seating, a moon roof, fancy wheels, spoiler and in all in a lime green color. Why did I choose such a bright color? The reason alone is to be able to quickly identify my vehicle in a line of black or white cars in a giant sized parking lot.

Now here is the fun part: The Fiesta is great for the average person, and by small I don't mean little people. I mean average sized person from China. Giants from European heritage or North Americans do not apply.
For them being in the Fiesta is like being in a 4x4 box with their elbows and knees tucked in or in a GO-cart.

Also for dog owners who are considering the fiesta, well lets just say if you like rat looking dogs, then this is your car. Also you shouldn't have more than two rat looking dogs because its really not ideal for this type of car. And by rat, i mean this type of dog. Okay so this one looks more like a fox. (That's not the point of the discussion btw).

I am Moki wearing a silly sweater.

Max of 2 rats per fiesta only.

For mastiff owners, do NOT even think about getting this car. Case in point, I got my vehicle prior to acquiring two giant sized mastiffs. Okay so maybe I don't have ESP and didn't predict that I would outgrow my vehicle. (Big ups to those of you who do have ESP; you can go suck on a dick now.-Did you know I was going to say that? Okay Kudos to you ASSHOLE!)

Here is what the fiesta looks like with a 100lb mastiff in the backseat. You get the drift? What I didn't tell you was that there is another mastiff in the trunk! So, don't get a fricking mastiff if you have a Fiesta! Or....alternatively don't get a fiesta if you have mastiffs!

Look my head takes up the entire window

Why would you put me in the backseat of this tiny car? Im huge!

This is the end of my review. There you have it. Don't buy a Ford Fiesta if you think big, or have huge things or like things that are hugey. In fact, don't buy a Ford Fiesta if you are giant. But do BUY a Ford Fiesta if you like small thingys and are tiny and like tiny stuff and enjoy being in tiny places surrounded by tiny thingys.

Cane Corso Puppy

Cane Corso Puppy - Super duper cutie pie. Reia - the super cute blue with brindle girl at 4 months.
Mastiffs are not a dog for everyone. You need to be prepared to take them on as they are pretty stubborn dogs. Reia is quite the challenge, everyday is a work in progress.

Minty Fresh

Brushing your own teeth is such a pain in the ass let alone brushing the teeth of your dog. So I put on my thinking cap and thought to oneself why bother brushing her teef when she can do it herself. So I slather on some chicken flavored toothpaste and lo and behold, she brushes her own teef now. Win win win

Complications leads to tremendous details and routine.

I was sitting here pondering about my morning routine and figured I should write it down. While writing it down I realized that the amount of time I spend doing things for others far exceeds the amount of time I take to tend to myself. After review of the routine below, i think it's time to re-assess the situation and figure out a means to cut down so I can more time to focus on myself and make a cup of Nespresso before heading off to work. (The ultimate goal of course :P)

Let the dogs go outside to pee.
Prep 3 clean bowls of dental water
Prep 2 clean bowls of dog food
Prep 2 clean bowls of cat food.
Let the dogs back in.
Collect Princey's dirty bowls and set up new bowls.
Clean up kitty litter
Fresh water for dogs, Feed the dogs
Go upstairs, collect Leo's dirty bowls and set up new bowls
Clean up kitty litter
Collect dog finished bowls
Go downstairs, apply lotion to Princey ringworm
Go back upstairs apply lotion and antibiotics to Leo's ringworm
Wash hands and all related peripherals.
Wash all the dirty bowls

All the above takes me close to 45minutes.

Only after all that do i go and shower, get dressed, put on my face. This only takes me about 1/2 hour because by this time, Im rushing to get to work.

I dont blame you for being tired after reading this post.

Mo Money mo problems

That's the real philosophy of this post. If I were poor I wouldnt be able to afford paying a mortgage payment that I've been paying for the vet. This month alone I've spent close to 800 buckeroos visiting the vet. I'd estimate that I've been to the vet about 6 times in total this month. All because of a bacterial infection that could be related to anything...bedding,treats,food,environment,lambs wool carpets?!?! At first it was just that vanilla dog causing all the issues with her redness and itchy and now the chocolate dog has bacterial infection on his foot. Plus to add to the frustration, Im much much poorer this month and cant afford to do anything much less eat. This is the responsibility of a pet owner. I can not stress enough that you should NOT dump your pets because you could not afford the payments. Having a pet may be a big responsibilty but no amount of money can bring me the happiness that these two monkey dogs give me. Don't get me wrong, I hate having to shell out all this dough and I can think of hundreds of nonsensical things I could have bought that don't compare to the love I get from them.

PS, my dogs are jerks. The pics below prove how they are "suffering" living with me instead of on the streets.

Foster Mommy?

I may soon be fostering for the chihuahua rescue I work for.
I hope that the home visit goes well albeit a formality since I am already a volunteer and have done numerous house visits of my own.

If I do get to foster a chi, I know it won't be an issue with Choco as he's rather friendly and generally a submissive pup. Nilla may take some warming up but she will eventually come around. Most of our rescues come from shelters like Toronto Animal Services or owner surrenders. I do believe we get some from out of provinces as well.

I am constantly looking at the shelters/craigslist/kijiji for those people giving up their chihuahuas for moving purposes or no longer able to care for them. I try to contact them to surrender to Chihuahua rescue group. Most of the time they rather just sell their dogs to make a quick buck or to recover their lost. Sad really, its not about the welfare of the dog.

In California, the shelters have about 80% of the dogs being chihuahuas and chi mixes there. When i browse through the website I feel sad as I would love to rescue all of them. Then i think back about how Nilla could have ever been in a shelter and it makes me happy that she is now in a good home (Or so i like to think :P). If i could travel to Cali and rescue all those chi's I would. Lord help me because if i had the money i would be on the first flight out. - She looks like a puppy still!!!

I've been busy!

Long Post!
I finally moved into my house. What a nightmare moving day was. But in the end, it was worth it. The new house is fantastic. It's been about close to 1mth and a half.
Can't believe its only been so short but feels so long. Theres so much to do and I've got my eyeballs full of renovations. Plus I've been super lazy to do them.
Had a few peeps over already, Lisers, Derf, Vinny and their S.Os. Alex and momolar. Then had my other friends over Amy,Derek,Tanya,Phong and the kids. They chipped in my for my bbq! Having my OWN bbq is so awesome. Even better is having a natural gas line. That means instant bbq all the time and cause I'm a girl, no changing propane, lugging to the gas station to get and not having to reconnect the damn thing. Sweet!

My sis came to visit from Ireland. I took her to every HomeSense/Winner imaginable.
Lol having her around was great to give me opinions on stuff. We went to the new mall at DonMills and lawrence. Apparently its puppy friendly! Yay! Can't wait to take the kids.

Also been entertaining family for the past 2 weeks! Also been busy at work surprise surprise. But i've not been too busy to go home during lunch to bask in the sun with the pups while i eat my lunch. Then we go to the park and play ball.
Love it! :)


Woofstock this weekend was fun. Choco loved it but Nilla didn't. He got loads of treats to snack on. She was a big suck so Bdids took her home to rest. Choco, mini and Biggie enjoyed all the attention. Fun times and bbqs too!

Anyhoo *crossing finger* to see if i will be accepted to foster a new pup. That will be 3 for me and I'll soon be known as the crazy dog lady to all if they don't already know me by that name by now.

Japanese people...

...are either really weird or just a bunch of comedic geniouses!!!!!!!!!!!
Case in point:



I want my dog to look perpetually pissed off!!!!!!!!

If i could leave, I totally would.

I heard on the radio today about a study that says that Happy Married Women sleep better than Single Women. WELL LADEEFUCKING DAH! Good for happily married women! I hate freaking studies, thanks for pointing out the fucking obvious. Yes people who are generally happy will sleep better than those that are miserable. Just because you add in the married versus single aspect of it doesn't make the study anymore evidence or proof as a scientific finding! Fucking studies.

On that note, I don't sleep good, yes Im single. I don't sleep good because I have ultrasonic hearing and can hear when my upstairs neighbours are fucking like god damn rabbits and their hyena love making sounds. I can hear when my neighbor taking a piss above my head and flushes the toilet. I can even hear when their dog or cat or whatever animal they have is playing with a ball across the hardwood floor. Heck it doesn't help having 2 guarddogs that growl/bark at the slightest noise to warn me of the impending doom of someone walking by the doorway. It also doesnt help that the biggest brat Nilla decides that she wants to wake up every 2 hours to quack at me so she can get up on the bed. So i let her up on the bed and what does she do? She decides it's fun day and starts jumping around me and Choco like we're part of a fucking trampoline. Damn dogs, always trying to bring a sista down.

YES im grumpy. Fuck. On that note, enjoy this picture because I wish this were me.

Going back to the past is funny.

I'm referring to an old blog re owning a pet and cannibalism in the case of famine.
Since getting Choco I've been plumping him up...feeding him lots of stinky liver treats so he can blow secret farts when i least expect it. He's starting to get heavier now, mostly muscle. I'm working on that, its so hard not to eat him now espescially when I get really hungry I have to stop myself from staring at him like he's a roast chicken. I don't think it will be hard to eat him, he's not your conventional "cute" dog. I'd say he's grumpy at best. He's always sitting there judging me with those puppy dog disapproving looks that says "Don't even think about eating me." Gawd what a suck.

Animals are food

A friend of mine wants to get a dog. At first I tried to disuade him from doing so by giving reasons such as responsibilities, not having a life anymore, having to care for something thats so damn needy and not being able to be selfish anymore.

But then as we were talking about the benefits of raising different types of animals, it occured to me. Animals of any kind should be kept around as fallback in the case of a food shortage. So once you get really desperate when there's no food left and you've already eaten your pet/animal, you can then resort to cannibalism. Cause obviously you're not going to start eating yourself or another person (unless you start hallucinating about how their ass would look with a side of parisien potatoes)! So in essence I think its a good idea to have an animal.
One possible exception to the rule would be the following:

I'd probably find it hard to eat this poor thing at first. Mostly because it looks pathetic enough. Look at the old man styles, his ass is more wrinkly then an 80 yr old man and the its only 6 months old. He looks all lonely and emo and just wants to be loved cause even though he's ugly on the outside, on the inside he's hurting. *cry* But if it came to eating my foot versus eating him. I'd eat him.
