First of my heart goes out to everyone in Aussie who are affected by the fires, can not even begin to understand how it must be for everyone there.
Christmas and New Year was very quiet, I ended up with a head cold and a nasty cough that is still lingering..... David went to his family Christmas and Boxing Day, then ended up with a lighter version of what I had, so all in all holidays were a bit of blah....
So I watched lots of Netflix, 2 good things I watched was "Broken", especially the first one about makeup purchased of Ebay/Aliexpress and even Amazon sold dupes which were made of not very nice products..... the second new series I watched was "Glow Up", which I also loved. Then I started watching the second series of "You", still to finish watching Series 2.
Weight wise, I weighed in on Nov 11th 2019 and was hoping to maintain my weight over the holidays, which I did, in fact I even lost 2.5 kilos so was pretty stoked, so weigh in's for me are Wednesday's, I will not give up, I went to thew gym for a couple of times, then didn't go for a few weeks, I was going to go this week, but cant (reason why coming up down below) so meeting my physio there next Monday. The gym owed me a few months, and it is due to expire end of April, I am then going to join the gym with the pool, I miss swimming so much. I have purchased myself this little Kombi lookalike and for every 100 grams I lose I am going to put 50 cents ($5.00 a kilo) in it and when I reach a certain weight I am allowed to spend it, the earliest it will be will be next Christmas/New Year.
Ok the reason why I can not go to the gym this week, is because we have a new addition to our family, Chico sadly passed away nearly 7 months ago, we were not ready to get another dog till just recently, and so we started looking for a rescue dog aged about 4 -6 years as Rusty is 5 years, we didn't want a puppy that would be alone once she went. 3 days ago we picked up our beautiful new addition to the family, Sooty - she is a nearly 4 year old miniature Poodle, she came from a puppy mill as a mum, her last litters ended up being not good, her second to last litter one puppy died and she needed a emergency C section, the last litter she had just recently, all 3 puppies passed away and she nearly died in a emergency C section, the breeder no longer wanted her so the rescue team in Kaitia went down and got her, she has been in foster care for about a month, and went up on a Facebook page so we applied to adopt her, and we managed to meet someone in Tokoroa to pick her up on Friday afternoon.
She is doing really well considering, she is less that 1/2 Rustys weight, she has never been socialised, so she hides toys etc, she did a few fair little piddles inside but today she is doing much better wee wise. We have fallen in love with her, Rusty isn't sure about her yet lol. She is loving just being able to run around outside and taking everything in. For the first day or two, she didn't want anything to do with me, she loved David, but today now he has gone back to work, she is bonding with me. We feel privileged that they choose us for her, she is one special little poppet, and we will give her the best life possible :). I will never ever purchase a puppy from a pet shop or puppy mill again, there are so many beautiful rescue dogs/puppies out there looking for a loving home. Photo's are Rusty looking lovingly at me asking me to get rid of her (I am sure she would say that if she could now lol), then our precious little Sooty below. She is going up for a groom on the 16th January :).
So there you have it for now.... I am sure there is more to update on but these are the main things for now. Hope you all had a great holiday.....
