Good morning folks and hello December. This year has been a real doozy, in one way it feels like it has disappeared so fast and in another it feels like it has gone on forever. In two sleeps we will have our gorgeous Princess here with us so, as you can imagine there is much activity and preparation going on. It was a crazy week and after today things should calm down considerably. Where to start ....... Last Monday we did a 'road trip' through to Noordhoek to visit the Bunny Rescue which was a very interesting experience as well as a long, HOT day. I have been looking for a 'companion pet' and was considering getting a pet rabbit, after a lot of research and speaking to quite a few people I came to the conclusion that a bunny probably isn't the wisest choice I could make. Yes they can be tamed and potty trained but apparently the likelihood of actually finding one that you can bond with on that level is quite difficult. Added to that I could see that Jelly Bean was having very real problems being around all the rabbits, she has a horror of rodents, although rabbits aren't classified as rodents they look very similar and after our mouse saga the week before, seeing mice at the sanctuary and then having another face to face encounter with one at our side door they are definitely not high on her favourite list at the moment hehe. With all that taken into consideration and, the fact that little Max has aged very rapidly in the last six months which would leave Sasha (Jelly Bean's dog) very lonely I have decided to go with a dog that I have always wanted, a Toy Poodle. Preferably a rescue and one which will become a 'companion pet', go everywhere with me and so on. To that end this afternoon, by pure chance we are meeting with a lady who is very well known in the Poodle fraternity and has asked me to come through for a chat.
The family are doing well, all the 'siblings' were in Johannesburg for the weekend and had a sibling lunch which really warms my heart, I got such beautiful photos of them all. Wish we were all going to be together for Christmas but it's not to be and so Poppet and Sonshine have taken charge and are planning all the festivities, it going to be a precious time and also Sonshine's first African Christmas.
Yesterday we had visitors over whom I knew back in the 80's when we Pastored our church down here, most of whom I had not seen in over 27 years. What a wonderful day of fellowship, food (thank you guys) and just great catching up. When time stands still and friends get together, always so precious to me. Zeepha was in full show off mode with the audience and apart from doing her zoomies around the room, also demonstrated her ability to run up, along and down the back of our cupboard, quite a little showstopper is this one. Last week she had her first foray outside on an extendable lead, it was so funny, the minute the harness was on she became a Munchkin cat and walked low to the ground exploring the deck before finally coming back inside out of the wind. I will do another walk sometime this week with her.
In closing a really good report about the young lady I mentioned last week who cut her arm so severely, she managed to complete her final Varsity exam using a scribe and passed, she also saw the specialist who is delighted with her progress. The thumb is still immobilized but there is definitely movement in her fingers and her prognosis is looking much better. Praise the Lord.
Folks, I wish you a wonderful week, please, please be careful on the roads, and in the sea / swimming pools over this season and always stay safe.
What you doing mommy?
