Tails’ Blography

Its been a pretty slow and uneventful week, but I’m glad its Friday! National Heritage Day just passed on Wednesday, so that was a pleasant day spent inside relaxing. The (fluff)Friends application on Facebook has been having a treasure hunt (to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day), so we’ve desperately been trying to find 500 gems before the hunt is over (you get a Googely as a reward, but its difficult to explain what it is on a blog). On Wed I found 150 gems! It was a loooong day! Haha! This weekend will be spent hunting like mad since the hunt ends on Sunday night.

I have a fever blister And its been around since Tuesday! Had one a few weeks back, but I remember I was stressed about something (cant remember what it was now….couldnt have been that important I guess) but I dont recall being stressed about anything now….*sigh* Hopefully it’ll be gone by Monday…

Went shopping yesterday evening with Michael, and we decided to buy some filter coffee, since we havent had a pot going in ages. So we bought House of Coffees Jamaican blend and WOW is it NICE!!! Its smooth, creamy, aromatic, but not too strong…very, very pleasant! In fact, I think I’m going to get a cup as soon as I’m done with this blog post!

Oh, forgot to mention I took photos this week of my dogs (yes yes, I need different subjects by now, I know ). I think they’re my best yet! Max made a proper appearance, and was very cooperative and did his tricks for some Beenos. If you like or dont like them, drop me a note to tell me which and why You can see more pics in the Recent Pics slideshow to the right.

I’m also looking forward to going away next month for a weekend. It’ll be Michael and my 5 year anniversary and it’ll be nice to get away. Viia’s coming with, and hopefully it wont rain the whole weekend haha! Last time we had such a great time and I always enjoy it! We’ll definately be having cocktails at a restaurant on the beach if its decent weather! Yay!

I think thats about it…..I’m gonna get some more delicious coffee now

So, besides this week being rainy, its also been filled with the sounds of jets flying overhead practising for the International Air Show happening this weekend.

I think it happens every three or four years, and its normally quite spectacular, but alas, the poor animals in the area get very upset. In fact, during the last airshow, some riders were out in a group on their horses, a jet flew over spooking the horses, who tossed their riders and bolted back to the stables (across traffic if I’m not mistaken).
   Only one rider managed to stay on her horse, the rest had to walk back. All horses made it back ok. I was standing around the stables around that time and a helicopter flew over, which led to a stampede of frightened horses looking for somewhere safe. The wimp in me (I’m sorry, I love horses, but they scare me sometimes) jumped out the way for safety, but a friend of mine dashed in and grabbed the lead rope, securing the horse. Everyone was ok then as well.

As it stands this time, our dog, Max (not in the photos yet), is clearly terrified of the noise. He shivers and shakes and just cannot be calmed. We’ve tried ignoring him, didnt work. We tried comforting him. Didnt work. So I dashed out and got some NutriCalm for them. Apparently its very good and homeopathic, so its safe to use, so here’s hoping it helps them. The effects apparently last around 4 hours, so I got enough for two doses per day per pet. Gizmo and Roz (our cat) will get some too. The second dose, however, I think I will make a half-dose, since the effects of the first dose should help somewhat.
  I’ll let you know how it goes. Thankfully, my mom and sister will be home this weekend, so the pets will have company. I will probably be at the airshow (I feel slightly ashamed since its so hurtful to the animals’ ears, but its a such a great photo opportunity)…lets hope the rain holds off.

Weather forcast said its supposed to be sunny over the weekend, but then again, they also said it was supposed to be sunny this week….err…I dont think so!! Keep fingers crossed!
