aaaand… we’re back.

I grew very, very tired of the old layout. So… here it is, a new one!

I hope this makes me want to blog more. It’s been a couple of hectic months, but I feel that if I don’t talk about it, my head will explode. Work is fine, but very demanding. I haven’t even begun crossbrowser testing for IE 8 yet, but I do know that my kennel site is going floopy on it. Crossbrowser testing for IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox is as much as I can handle, sorry. Kill IE 6 for good and I might consider ading IE 8 to my list. And my excuse for not adding Safari, Chrome or any of those guys is that if I manage to put up a site that gets through IE and Firefox, then those guys needn’t worry. But what I really don’t want is more trouble. So… Shh :P

Breeding world is… Exactly the same. Seems like every week there is another European frenchie around. Some are gorgeous, some are not, some come from wonderful lines and some… don’t. I do have some things cooking up for this year but they are all so uncertain and full of what-if’s that right now all I can say is that I am expecting.

And I can’t help but mention swine flu. People everywhere in the world are tweeting fretting over it. How about you - worried, concerned, indifferent? I am leaning a bit towards indifference and being mad about it. People are making such a fuss. Calm down!

Why we feed Raw Meaty Bones

* soon, an update about my trip to BH and the dogshows we attended there. Camilli’s Leo is now Brazilian Ch and Panamerican Ch. We’re ecstatic!

Morning Ritual

It’s 7 a.m. and the alarm rings. Yaza then climbs up my bed and procedes to licking my face if I don’t throw her out. Bathroom, shower, teeth, hairbrush. Back into the bedroom. Yaza looks lazily at me from my bed, making me feel jealous just for kicks. Clothes, need some clothes. Makeup. Okay, feet. Can’t go barefeet.

Socks.

Oh my god, socks! Yaza’s favorite part of the day, when she sees me handling socks. She jumps up and down, licks the HELL out of me if I let her, anywhere she can reach. And then… Shoelaces. DELICIOUS SHOELACES. Must be cute. Must be wonderfully irresistible. Must make my human feel like crap for going to work.

And then we go downstairs, have our breakfasts and she goes out to play with the other doggies for a while, while I come burry myself into piles of css and html codes.

Fun at the park

We all had a blast today at the park. Below are just a few of the many pictures I took, the rest of the good ones you can see on our flickr.

LUC IS SUCH A CRUSTY NOSED SWEETHEART

It totally matches your outfit!

Post previously named “One step closer to insanity”.

Today was a good day. Apart from all the plenty of fun at the zoo taking pictures and praying for it not to rain, and on the ride itself, I went to the regular market and found eight to ten chicken neck trays, already without skin. The supermarket woman then asked me how many I was taking, to which I promptly answered, ‘how bout all of them, and do you have any more at the back’.

No, I guess I’m not your average woman. I wonder what these people on the market think, though? That I am into some crazy diet, to say the least.

Purse Curse

And there it was, with my newest and coolest aunt. I instantly went crazy over it, which is a miracle, since I am not at all into fashion and you are much more likely to see me go nuts on pet supplies, especially at a butcher’s.

Being the cool aunt that she is, she told me where she’d gotten it. And being the cheapskate aunt that she is, she had gotten it with a 50% discount at a crazy sale. And it was so cheap, as cheap as I would have never thought of. The next day, I went over to the store and got it. They had just received this HUGE supply of new cute black purses with polka dots.

My grandfather was absolutely delighted over this whole deal, to him it was the funniest thing ever and he would tell the story to all of the nurses and physiotherapists that visited us at the hospital that day. And then my other aunt got there and heard the story from him. She laughed and asked if I could buy her one of these the next time I was at the mall and she’d pay me back. No problem, right? We could always SMS each other and call the right to go out with dottie a given day.

Except that today the housekeeper tricked me into saying how much it costed and she loved it too, loved the price and can’t wait for me to buy hers. Half the family owns the bag now. How great is that?!

True Blessing

True blessing is having my iPod soaked in water yesterday and having it still work today. I thought it was all over. I cannot function without music. Phew!

Catching up with my tv shows. Today I got to Chuck 2×05, 6 more to go. Then there’s Dexter and How I Met Your Mother. I lost my patience with Weeds, Grey’s, House and The Office. Waiting for 24 and Lost.
