I've gotten my cold back... and a sore throat to boot. Maybe it's the dogs... they need a bath... and I get a sort of allergic reaction to them if they haven't had their bath too long. But it's been raining these past few days... I don't even have a dry towel to use on myself, much less the dogs. Oh, and by the way, the spraying of pee... as suspected, it was a gross exaggeration. It was just 2 puddles of pee in the kitchen. The husband put ant poison out and there were dead ants on the floor so Russ pee'd over them. I suppose he thinks better the smell of his pee than the decomp of an ant... hehehehe...

The gym session was cancelled. Apparently, the rain got into the electrical circuit and shorted out the whole building. Just as well as I was loathe to make my way there in the rain. Sunny wants to start tomorrow but with my cold and sore throat, I'm not sure if I want to. Let's see how it goes then.

Hmm... I wonder what's happened to G. He's been missing in action for ages. A couple of emails to let me know he's still alive and a promise to catch me on MSN, but that's it. I suppose he's busy.

Today we went to view the perfect dog. It was fun meeting up and the dog was indeed perfect but J had gone with some friends of hers and the guy was pretty much an idiot. He pretended to be an expert and made some negative comments about the dog but completely failed to notice the most obvious thing about the dog... it had cow hocks. But that doesn't matter if J's not going to show the dog. And I suppose J has unrealistic expectations of the dog... she wants the dog to be best friends with her cat. Hmm... the dog and her cat were studiously ignoring each other, which I thought was perfect, but... And J's friend suspected that the age was a lot older as he said the "eyes are cloudy". He must have very sharp eyes then, or maybe his own eyes were cloudy cos the rest of the 6 of us didn't see that. I thought his eyes were pretty clear actually. I would love to have that dog, but that's not possible at this time.

When it stops being so rainy, I'm going to start walking my dogs more often and longer. That's my new year's resolution.

The New Year

A friend of mine asked me what a blog was and I sent him this blog to have a look. He asked who looks at blogs and why do people blog and how do I track the number of hits on my blog. Basically, my answer to him was "who cares".... hehehe... well, maybe some people care, but I don't. It's just free space for me to write crap :-)

As for why people blog... hmm.. why do they? To pen their thoughts down? An online diary? To stay in touch with friends all over the world? To show the world and her brother your naked butt? So those of you who may be reading this... tell me, why do people blog?

So this is my first post for the new year. Nothing much to say except that the husband just came and reported to me that my darling Russell has "sprayed" pee all over the dining room AND kitchen. My my.... how does an 8kg Jack Russell Terrier "spray" pee over such a widespread area... surely the husband jests.. or maybe he's just being an ass (hey that rhymes). Whatever.... I'll go have a look later. Right now, I've eaten too much for dinner and I'd probably puke bending over to wipe up the pee. The floor will have to survive for now.

Dinner. Jan had heard from me about Astons and was keen to try so we tried. And tried. And tried. Hence the bloated tummy. Tomorrow I start my first gym session with Sunny. Hmm.. not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not.

Oh gee, look at the time. It's 1.19am. I'd better go and look at the pee fallout and then get to bed. And oh... it was the most yawningly, hair pullingly, screamingly, toothpick under fingernails BORING day at work today!!! The seconds just c-r-a-w-l-e-d... I was so bored I wanted to cry!! I hope tomorrow's better. G'nite all.
