RE: I ate so many burritos

So, my post I did on August 1st I never finished, or posted. I can only put the reason down to my dinner being ready, or the dogs doing something worth me getting distracted. I actually don't know what to type now I'm here. Let's talk about dogs, shall we? HELL. WHAT ELSE DO I TALK ABOUT THESE DAYS? Honestly. What did I talk about before? Everyone who reads this (hi Nan and Grandma)..what did I talk about before my brain became completely obsessed with all these fur babies?! So updates!
Acnah. Good boy. Wasn't getting along so well with Pixie. They had a big fight one night and I was fed up with the tension in the house so I went to stay with Jared and I took Acnah with me. I've had Acnah since early April, and he's never eft the house. Nore shown any interest in leaving the house. But as soon as he got to J's he was having a big old sniff around, let out a whole load of his "happy growl/ doggy purrs/ weird grumbling wooing noises" and was right at home. A few days later, we tried it again.... and then again... then me and J had... the talk. Which went something like this
"Jared, Acnah likes your house...how would you feel about having him for a few days..."
"sure" and that was it. IT's now been a few days (about 2 weeks) and Jared is in love with Acnah now tht Acnah is finally allowing J to touch him. Such a good boy! I don't know how I'm going to get Acnah to ever come back to my house now!

Pixie. Oh where do I start with Pixie?
She loves killing chickens. And geckos. And mice. And frogs. And grasshoppers. And anything that moves. Like pillows. She loves killing pillows. And digging. Se loves digging so much, she shared her gardening passion with Dow. So now the two of them help deconstruct my flowerbed and relocate the dirt to my bed. They're so hardworking. They do it every other day. Tuesday. She's reunited with her family on Tuesday. Dow. Good boy. 11/10 His fur is great, he's all vaccinated, just getting him desexed then he's on his way home! I'm sure he's gonna miss his best friend Pixie though. Once I've got my head aroung the new Blogger format I'll add some before and after photos. Oof Good boy. Likes head pats. Likes food. Loves rolling in the grass. Super cute and cancer free!
He's leaving tomorrow morning, which I'm gutted about. But alas- I am excited for a few days dogless so I can have a fully deep clean of everything. I haven't been dogless for almost 6 months, so just a few days without 6 hour deadlines would be greeeat!
DOGS SIDE
I also have friends!
Caro, my friend from Battambang/Koh Rong came to visit and Eline visited from PP last week. So that es cool. Another friend from KR has started to work with me, taking on some big dogs. Which is awesomeeeee!
What else? Legit, nothing. Oh! I've been shortlisted for a judge at a pet expo here. That's exciting. I've made a sign for a tuktuk. That's exciting too. Uhh, I've planted some pumpkin. That's going well. Is this what your late twenties does to you? Prepares you for life as an almost-retiree like my Dad (who just LOVES his garden!) The title of this post refers to the 3 for $8 deal at Angkor Tacos in July. July was a good month.

I ate so many burritos

AUGUST 1st A great month if you ask me. Alas, now it's no longer 3 burritos for $8 I can focus on getting healthy and filling my belly with fruit. IT's not so easy now mango season is over, unfortunately. July went well. Had bits a bit more work, ate lots of 1/2 price bakery goods... I literally have no idea what I've done. Every day seems to have blurred into one. I honestly can't even think of what I've done in the past three weeks. How boring. But, in these times, boring is better than bad. C19 vaccinations seem to be going well here. I got my first dose of Sinopharm...the most reputable vaccine there is... but luckily there's only a 3 week wait between 1st and 2nd dose. We got the news a couple of days ago that the Delta varient has made it to Cambodia from workers coming in at the Thai boarder. That means we've gone into lockdon...again. But you know me, I just plod along, and accept any fur baby thrown in my direction during a lockdown! This lockdown sees Pixie and Dow joined by Oof Oof (a.k.a Amok). He's being treated for TVT cancer. It's really common over here, and it's highly contagious between dogs. Really nasty too- I wouldn't recommend googling it.
But so far so good, he's a super good boy. The vets will be coming here for his Chemo. Usually the chemo they're given is highly effective. Here's hoping!



EDIT: realised I never finished this, or posted it. So here- only 26 days late haha.
