Goodbye Wet Season, Halloween, Catching Covid, and Finally Being Free


Blink, and we are suddenly in the middle of November...how did that happen?
It's been a little while since I've updated this page. The excuse? Eh, none really. I still hate the new format for making entries though.

Work
Work has been fairly steady, which is great for me. 
I've been looking after Oofy Doofy for a small amount every month. He's my cancer survivor dog with the whole in his nose. The plan was for him to get his treatment in Thailand and go to live at a shelter there. But I've put up a protest and seeing about getting his treatment in Cambodia and finding him a home here, so he wont have to share his space with 300+ other dogs. Whenever we go out people are always saying "He's such a good boy, I wish I could adopt him" so I think finding him a forever home shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully we can keep him with...

Acnah! This good boy is still with me, completely unpaid...bt I can't complain becase I love this doggy dso mch. He's not had a bad run really- seeing that he was due to stay with me for a weekend back in April...it's now Novemeber and he still gets chicken hearts most days and about 7km of walks everyday. Not a bad life, huh Acnah? He's so healthy now and he's made a recovery that nobody woldn've expected. Especially as jst a few months ago we were still in talks about if the kinet thing to do would be to put him to sleep. This good boy has bounced back!
 
I would love for these two to find a home together as they are best friends. But let's see what we can do. In Siem Reap right now there are so many dogs that need homes, and seeing how many had owners who have now ditched them ater moving back to their home countries... they aren't going to go and live with the first person who says yes..let's put it that way. I also have another good doggy staying with me- 
Sunny. Her owners are English too, and live in Phnom Penh. She';s here so she can be set p for sucess (being kept apart from other doggies...and cats.... and so far, so good, she's been a breeze!


Aside from my dogs I have boarding, it's been fairly quiet. But now the boarders are slowly opening up I can see more travel plans are being formlated...and with Christmas and New Year on the way...I can see things picking up over the next few months. We are curfew free! Since April we've been on a 9pm curfew, alcohol ban, as well as everything else. IT's finally lifted, and some of my old favourite restrants are opening back up again.
Bt alas, this week, I have....COVID!
After Halloween celebrations it finally got me (but nobody else I know by the looks of things...) so having no smell and taste for a few days, feeling just a bit worn down- I'm back up with n immaculate house and ready to get out again! Halloween was a budle of fun. There was only 2 venues brave enogh to host events- so of corse, we all went there. Me and J decided to go as Aliens (a costme matched with the Astrodogs for the dog park competition earlier in the day) (I was a judge hehe) (Of course, Oofy won funniest dog...no bias). Then the next day, we decided to do a low-key pub crawl just the two of use. I dressed as a witch...him my side-kick kitty cat...meow!



It was nice to get ot and do something different...the last 8 months or whatever have felt pretty mch on a loop. An ything that breaks my little rotine and cycle is a win!

Talking of breaking the cycle, we went for a trip to the floating villags last week as part of an App testing thing. So that was cool... even better...FREE!

Anyway- its 4.30pm here and I have 7km of dog walks to get done before it gets dark at 6pm.

PEACE.
