I have a feeling I'm going to start each post with an apology. "Sorry it's been so long, but [insert excuse here], ...." and such and such. It's been a week since the last update, but don't worry, I've been keeping track of everything interesting that we've done, and all will be posted eventually. Both Millie and the sea shipment with all the furniture came today, so I'm completely exhausted from unpacking Tupperware, but I still wanted to post a couple of pix.
First, we finally got Millie today! The Pet Embassy delivered her after 30 long days in quarantine (where she learned that she will live if only allowed to pee twice a day, not 20 like she's used to), and I continue to wonder what she thinks about this whole thing. She seems to be taking everything in stride - happy just to have dinner and a belly scratch from time to time. I should take a lesson. After arriving, she explored the whole house and yard, and then proceeded to fall dead asleep on her bed for the rest of the afternoon. We took her for a long walk tonight, and the locals are pretty impressed. It's not exactly common to have a dog here in the first place, much less a huge one like Millie. The neighbor dog seemed pretty interested, too:
This is Snickers/Tigger, owned by the Austrailian family next door. He barks on occasion, but mostly only for attention, after you reach through the fence and give his chin a scratch he quiets down. And even thought "he still has all his pieces" as David puts it, and "maybe they'll kiss..." like the little 4-year-old who owns Tika noted, we think they'll keep it platonic and get on like best of friends.
Another random observation includes smoking. We forgot what it was like to have to choose "the smoking or non-" sections in restraunts, there are still quite a few smokers here. Though with cigarette ads like these, who could light one up?
Zoom in if you can't see it, but every pack of cigarettes has picture of a tumor, growth, or something else gross that can happen if you keep smoking. I almost bought a pack just for the picture!
It's 10pm on Thursday, and American Idol is finally on!
