Sadly, Irene's surfaces got covered in crap only the day after she cleaned them so no point me taking an 'after' shot this week! I'm leaving town with the family (which includes the dogs) tomorrow morning so I have stuff everywhere to sort through tonight, including presents to find and wrap! Clothes to wash and pack! Tomorrow morning it will be dogs to bathe and stick in the car! I'm sure I'll forget something but it wont be those ear plugs - my family can be scary en masse!
I haven't had one cigarette today. That's because I wouldn't be able to inhale the damn thing! I keep thinking about the taste and smell of having one but my asthma is so bad that I am exhibiting some self control. Still have a pack and a half too, which will go to my bestie who smokes the same as me. She'll be devestated I've stopped again.
Very good news on the Jessie front. The arsehole ex's mother found a deaf couple on the north coast who wanted her and understood the breed and her particular issues. Jessie took to them straight away and even jumped straight in to their car when they left with her. The council guy was great about it all as he didn't want to see her put down. Finally some good news for my younger sister.
I have absolutely nothing exciting to blogblurt today. Blogblurt? Hmmm, might need to send that in to Urban Dictionary!
Even though I feel like shite I am looking forward to Christmas and a few days off work. Since I'll be doing some driving I hope it is a safe holiday for everyone (including me!)!
Something sad is happening in our family today. My younger sister DMD broke up with her toy boy a couple of months ago and moved back home. At first he held her dog Wolf (part husky/part shephard) to ransom but she finally got him transferred fully in to her name. Then he got thrown out of his accom and he asked her to take one of his dogs, the husky Jessie, temporarily. The a**ewipe has two other security dogs too (yes, he's a security guard).
So several months have gone by and the ex has done nothing about Jessie. DMD has been talking to the council and husky rehoming services, trying to find her a new and safe place to live. She is registered as a dangerous dog due to her incompatibility with smaller animals so no-one would take her. The ex didn't re-register or pay her fines so the council issued a sieze and destroy order on her and DMD has had to hand her over today. So very sad as she is a beautiful dog with the right people managing her.
I have two old staffies and even though the ex hates me we even tried to get my dog and Jessie together and I would've taken responsibility for the fines etc but Jessie took one look at the size of Ricky (my black dog) and grabbed her by the throat. ooooooh noooooooo! No damage but a bit scary.
Here's a pic of all the dogs - Ricky (black) and Bundy (white), Wolf (husky/shephard) and Jessie (husky).
Today at work I am listening to some Marc Bolan and T-Rex and Bing Crosby singing Christmas Carols (not on the same cd of course!). At least I have moved on from listening endlessly to Robbie (even though I still dreamed about him last night!).
