Adieu Tammy

We had to say goodbye to Tammy today, after a long stint at the vet to try to get her well again :

She had severe hip displaysia (HD) which is common in German Shepherds, but she also had some sort of internal infection, and ended up having kidney failure. Her last days were quite miserable and painful, and we didn't want that to continue any longer....

We will miss her terriby.

KZN Magic Regionals

I managed to qualify for Magic Nationals again this year, after scrubbing out in PMB, I achieved a 3rd place finish in Durban, albeit playing a good deck !

For the record, I played Juicy Fruit in PMB and Mono-Green Aggro in Durban - thanks to Keraan for "force-feeding"me the deck....

More beginnings

Young Adam started creche this month - slowly at first, just a few hours at a time, and a coupla days a week....he seems to be settling in, and is having very little trouble there....

This is going to start to give Heidi some free time in the mornings - she's looking forward to that !

Comrades day farewell

What a lovely surprise to receive Ma and Dad in Kwambo for the day !!! Even though the day was dedicated to the Comrades Marathon, we spent most of the time being entertained by the boys....

At the end of the day, when the grandparents were packing to return to Durban, Aziz promptly announced that he was going with Ma, and that I had to pack his clothes for him.....he left, saying that he would see us tomorrow ;)

It's hard to admit that he is so independant, and comfortable to spend so much time so far away from us....

Lois and Leia came into our lives

The two princesses came into our lives, not long after Tammy got ill, and went away to spend some time at the vet....

Sadly, Leia didn't last longer than the weekend, but Lois is getting bigger and stronger by the day !

(photos to follow soon....)

Sista Sue visits KZN !

When Sue travelled to the East Coast for a few days, just before her birthday, she made sure there was a party !
We all gathered at Mary-Ann's place for a braai and karaoke - using Adhil's playstation2, this was fabulous fun !

Zi loved the PS2 so much, he decided to stay overnight, playing games with Dillo all night !

In other news - I have been at the new job for just over a month now, and I am starting to get to grips with it, and even feeling like I am enjoying myself ;)
