Almost a goodbye..

Just on a week before bidding farewell to 2006.
I can't remember the last time I spent Christmas in Melbourne
Possibly not since 1st year at Uni.
Yes, it has been a long time.
The offer for a fully paid holiday in HK was tempting.
But perhaps it was time for a change.
To spend time with someone special and the four legged kids
To eat, drink and be very merry.

The last 6 months has been a roller coaster ride
It's still a continuing ride; a journey that needs to be completed.
All I see is a long road ahead
Yet unable to see too far beyond
It's a life lesson, to face the demons within and for myself to face challenges.

Perhaps 2007 will be much better.
Emotionally and mentally.
Afterall, my inner self understands that balance is the key
Now, let that resonate throughout - loud and clear.

Merry Christmas .. and wishing you a happy 2007.

Merry Christmas One and All!

woof.

My joy and my sorrow

Ned has his good days and he has his mental days.
His medication, I believe is partially working but it was my fault that the proper training was never implemented. We are trying.. alot of trial and error.
The past few weeks, he's soiled the house.. not mine mind you.
It's almost emotionally tiring.
On the one hand, I feel so sorry for him.
On the other, I sometimes wonder, why me.

I brought him into the park earlier today. I usually avoid places with other dogs but I figured, maybe it might help him being near other canines.
Boy, was I wrong.
He behaved well for about 10 mins but the other dogs were playing with one another and I guess he felt left out. Or he started to feel uncomfortable and started to talk.
It got quite loud.. and I sensed disapproving looks from the other dog owners.
I always appreciate advice but it's more valuable coming from someone who has or is living with a fear aggressive dog.
Granted I would never know if you ever did, but please, spare me your thoughts right now.

I would do anything to have a well adjusted dog like yours, but I don't.
I would do anything to discover how he lived his past 5 years. Anything.
Just don't judge me.

At the end of the day, I don't have a well adjusted dog, instead, I have one who has issues being apart from any human contact. But nonetheless, he is part of my pack.
And we have the 3 of us.

Not quite a beetle

I bought myself a Christmas gift this year.
I apologise if you don't receive anything from me this year, as I can no longer afford it.
Yes, very self absorbed and self indulgent.
It's my warped way of telling myself I need to earn more money
to support my desired lifestyle.

My gift comes in a smooth, hot metallic grey..
Cruise control, electric everything (almost) and wait for it..
s i x s p e e d .. with sunroof.

Can't wait to hit the freeway to test my baby...
I'm rubbing my hands in glee and counting down.

Santa Claus has come to my town early this year..

Ho Ho Ho..

2.0 litres of serious VW power.. !
