New House

After much contemplation and delay, I've finally signed the sale and purchase agreement on my new house. I know I should be feeling elated that we're moving to a bigger house but somehow this nagging feeling of how are we going to make ends meet continues to bug me. I would like to think I've made the right choice so i'm not sure why I am feeling this way. I guess for now all I can do is hope that all plans fall into place.

Now the tough part on renovating and doing up the house begins. With construction cost going up like crazy I may be better off moving to live with my parents indefinetely and save money till I have a million bucks before I start my renovation works. Oh well, this year is indeed a year of change. Pray for me :)

Elmo Abuse

This is what happens when Elmo goes mad. He just totally loves me and will start chewing and pulling on my arm. Hence the many love bites. I'm praying that he grows out of it. Today I introduced the hanger to him. It worked in scaring him for all of 5 minutes that was it. Maybe I don't scold him enough. Shall bring out my fierce side soon.

People have been asking me about my marks but no one believes that it was Hubbs that inflicted it onto me. Their immediate response was a big hearty laugh. Looks like I can't count on anyone for sympathy when it comes to Hubbs :( I guess Hubbs really does come across as a sweet harmless guy. Just my luck!!

Jokes aside, please pray that Elmo stops abusing me and that my bruises will dissapear soon.

Elmo's First Grooming

We sent Elmo for his first grooming session last Saturday. It was really exciting for him and he came back looking like 130 bucks. Which I believe by a dog's standard is very 'hot' looking. He had his nails done, facial hair removed and a super neat hair cut.

The only unfortunately thing from the whole session was that he played hang man as well. You see when these professional groomers groom dogs, they put a thin noose around the dog's neck and let them stand on a table barely big enough for a big dog like Elmo and the table is elevated at least 4ft from the ground. The poor boy was so excited to see Hubbs and I after the groomer was done with him and lost his balance on the table and fell off. So he was literally hanging with the noose around his neck and his four legs hanging off the table. Luckily the table toppled if not poor Elmo would be no more :( Thank God everything turned out fine but Elmo was super tired after the entire session.
