Hey everyone, it sure has been a while since I last blogged. Have been lurking around a little bit lately, but only a little bit.

Ok so the last time I blogged I had just had my dog put to sleep, very emotional and it just broke my heart. I had just started working, still working and enjoying it. Shift work certainly plays with your mind a little, sometimes forget things when I am tired and sleep patterns need adjusting. I'm glad I can sleep at anytime of the day without any problems, just need to get grub to let me recouperate for a couple of hours some mornings!

What else.....Dad and I had our "90th" birthday party in december. It was a 90's theme and it rocked! I dressed up as Mimi Bobeck from the Drew Carey show. There were school uniforms, a navy sailor (friend was in the gulf during the nineties), spice girls, ninja turtle, toy story characters and even the dude from Fight Club! Everything went without a hitch and the weather even held out for us. So glad we had it catered, it made things sooo much easier. Although, we were busy socialising and making sure no-one was left out, and that took a lot of energy considering we had over 70 guests!!

Xmas was good, nice a nd quiet. Grub got spoilt rotten as usual. I had to work xmas eve night, so that was a bit of a bumma, luckily it was when he was sleeping. He was a little peeved at Santa though! He was not happy with all of the messy "snow" santa left behind when he visited!!!

Then last monday, a friend of my dad who own kennels, called him and told him about a client who had a miniature poodle she had to give away as she had moved into a complex with a no pets policy. Now my parents were adament that there was not going to be another dog in the house after Mac died. But Grub has slowly been working on the weakest link ie my dad! about getting another dog. But Dad implicitly trusts the judgement of his friend as he has been involved in dog breeding and kennels all of his life and he said that this one was a lovely dog and great with kids. So on tuesday I took Grub down and met the lady and her dog. Well he was right and we brought home Rufus the 19mo mini poodle. Rufy as we call him has certainly fitted in well here and absolutely loves having a big yard as he was used to living in a unit. Everywhere Grub goes, Rufy follows him! It's so cute. Although we have had to put a bell on his collar! We are so used to a big dog (Mac was  std poodle...the big ones!) and Rufy is small and quiet that we keep nearly tripping over him if he is behind us, and it also helps us work out where he is in the dark (he's black). So we are back to being dog owners again!

Onto NYE.....had a great time. Friends of mine had a zombie party!!! I was a zombie cheerleader, and had to go to the bottlo in my outfit to by my drinks and then through macca's drive thru!! That was a blast as people were freaking out at the fake sore and boils and the whole outfit in general.

So life has been good and rather uneventful. No hiccups, and that's how I like it!

Enjoy!
