Where's the "gray area"?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this - nevertheless....a little of my faith in humanity just died a little.

The blacks "loot", the whites "find".

The Puppy - Part 2

So the puppy is still with us and may be until we fly out of this country. A friend/co-worker of ours is a wonderful dog person and she said she'd take her if there weren't any other options....from what I can tell there really aren't any other options. I'm happy to leave the pup with this person. It would make me happy to know puppy is with her and not someone else who is clueless about dogs. So I think I will be able to spend the next four weeks with the puppy and then she'll go to live with our friend/co-worker. She won't go sooner because our friend/co-worker is going to the US for 3 weeks in September. I've already come to terms with the fact that the puppy won't go home with us (meaning I cried a lot on Saturday). I'll enjoy the time I have with her and then feel at peace knowing how lovely her new home will be.

I've been given a lot of advice on how to make the trip with her to Canada but in the end I've decided she should stay here. I don't want to put her through an 18 hour flight if I don't have to and this new option means I don't have to.

The Puppy

On Thursday night I rounded the corner of our street, heading for our parked scooter and there was a Korean man tying his puppy to it. I asked him what he was doing but of course he didn't understand me and proceeded to get in to his van with his wife and drive away. That's when I noticed the plastic bag sitting on our scooter accompanying the puppy. Inside was some dog food a dish and some pet shampoo. I had the sinking feeling that this guy just ditched his puppy. Of course the thing was adorable and very very friendly. I couldn't just leave her there on the street even though I knew we would be flying out of this country in 5 short weeks. So we took her home. Since that time I have gotten very attached. Unfortunately yesterday's visit to the vet revealed that she is about 6 months old (which I already suspected) and hasn't had any vaccines (an educated guess on the part of the vet) so she has started her vaccine schedule - which will take a couple months to complete. That isn't enough time to get her rabies vaccine in before heading to Canada so we will have to fly back sans puppy. We will find her a home this week. I'll be sad to see her go - but maybe it's best for her anyway.

Craptastic!

Today sucks. I woke up feeling like my sinuses were going to explode.....yet another sinus infection/sinus something or other. On my way back home after my first hour of work I tripped on the extremely high and slippery stair and hurt my foot....it's bruised and swollen. Finally, I'm crampy and waiting for my monthly companion to show up.

Later.

Blythe Mania

Hi All!
We got back from Japan Wendesday night. It was a great escape from work. I planned on buying some Blythe dolls while in Japan and I am pleased to say I got more than I had bargained for. I had planned on getting maybe two full sized Blythe dolls but we found a cool toy store specifically carrying collectors' toys. The prices were less than I expected and I ended up buying three full sized Blythe dolls there and one Petite Blythe. I then bought two more Petite Blythe dolls at other stores (one is a pop up Blythe). All in all I'm very happy. I ended up spending about 34000 Yen (about $370.00 CDN) on them. Two of them are Japan Toys R Us Exclusives....YAY! Unfortunately I can't take them out of the boxes and inspect them as well as I'd like because I have to ship them back to Canada. We are heading out of here in 8 weeks.....woohaa!

Since I rarely update my photo album and Myles always does (with the same pics I would post anyway) Check out his photo album from now on (located in my links)

Talk to you soon.
