Ninjabread men

I love Fred products, they are so much fun, and really appeal to my sense of humour.

Another new product from Fred, ninjabread men *giggle*

Shame it takes a few months for the products to turn up here in Australia, I wouldn’t mind some Nomskulls too.

Passive agressive wifi- take 2

Funnily enough, after my last wifi message we haven’t really had a cat peeing issue. Maybe it works?!

Leaving for work yesterday, I noticed the side gate open. The gate, that can only be opened from the inside. Checked the shed and it was still locked, so just assumed the kids had left it open.

Manpet rings a few hours later, our outdoor table is gone. Our huge metal and glass table…gone.

Who the fark wanders the streets looking for outdoor furniture to steal?

Maybe we interrupted them before they had a chance to get the matching chairs. Arseholes…it must be someone nearby…how far can you get carrying a bloody table down the street?

New Babeh!

I feel kinda guilty being excited about a new puppy. It has been over 10yrs since we’ve had the joy of a puppy, so it is hard not to be. But being only a month since we lost Sasha..it feels a little wrong.

It has been unbearably empty here with out her, without any dog at all. I still haven’t been into the backyard (I don’t use the clothes line remember :P ) and the yearning for a baby had become overwhelming for both of us.

So we started looking around for some breeds and breeders…just looking. We wanted something small that we could have inside always, get on with or at least not eat the kitteh and that we could take out and about in the car. We had thought a pug could be good, ticked all the boxes..and I do have an attraction to cute but ugly. I would really love a French Bulldog, or Boston Terrier…but it will take some further bribing to warm him up to a $3000 dog ;)

We visited a few breeders, one was down right awful, and others didn’t have what we wanted. We went to another Sunday, not expecting much.

The wife was into the pugs, and the husband.. Australian Bulldogs. While the kids and I played with the itty bitty pugs the men folk got talking and the next thing we are off to look at the bulldogs…and I guess you can see where this is going.

I think Jake was in love the moment the kennel door opened and out spilled 5 fat little puppies. Then the way he looked at me like an excited 5yr old asking can we please have one of these instead. He has really been missing Stasia, she was such a Daddy’s girl..the other meezers aren’t that into him. How could I say no?

Her name is Sookie, which must be said with a Bill Compton-ish southern accent. I really wanted the boy puppy, so I could call him Eric, tho it doesn’t seem too appropriate for a bulldog.

He rings me 3-4 times a day, to see what ‘I’ am doing..which really means what is my baby doing :P

Yes, lots of sleepy pics. She is a baby after all (an 8.7kg baby!). And you can’t beat that sleepy puppy smell, right? She seems to only have two speeds, full pelt crazy and sleepy.

The baby shopping is going to send me broke.

  • Car is back on the road after 3 weeks thanks to my awesome manpet. Although it took 3 weeks, it saved $100′s. Holden would have charged $800+ to fix the problem that we diagnosed and fixed with the wonderful help from google and it only cost $150.

Not Noice..
