Poor Shermandy Wermandy

Our boxer Sherman has been poorly.. He has had a mushroom looking growth, growing out of his ear. It was pretty big and looked infected. Aaron and his dad Jerry wanted to perform surgery on Sherman themselves..Sigh.. I had to ever so politely remind them that unless they had a certificate that proved they went to veterinary school and could handle this they had better let a PROFESSIONAL deal with it..

I took Sherman to the vet today and they decided to keep him in then and there and do the surgery to remove the growth. The vet thinks that the growth might be a big pollop.. It looked like a mushroom from the top it was literally like some one had stuck a mushroom in his ear like an ear plug. He thinks it may be caused due to extreme irritation. As one was growing in the other ear too.. He cauterized them and flushed the ears out. Sherman was all drugged up when we collected him. Wobbly on his feet and didn't really know where he was hence we couldnt leave him alone.. He was fine today tho his usual self.. At the moment im cooking them meals. As his irritation is caused by food allergies so I cooked a batch of chicken and rice. Will add some black beans to it later to bulk it out. It really made me realize how much I love him and of course Tootise. lol
We wont find out if it was just a pollop or a cancerous growth till tomorrow as it went to pathology. . We caught Sherman trying to get in to Tootsies bed.. and he managed it.

I never thought i could love animals they way I love Sherman and Tootsie. My heart broke for him today seeing him all dazed and confused.. I wanted to be home with him..

I have a confession people.. My Name is Emily and I love my Dogs.. lol

First Anniversary - 2009

Its been a year already. How fast time goes by, it seems like it was only yesterday i was getting ready to leave the uk and follow my heart. Its been a wonderful year, i can honestly say the best yet. Full of highs and the occasional lows.
Ive had family and friends visit, met new family and made some amazing new friends but Nothing tops being with Aaron everyday, having that one person that will always be there and has promised to always be yours. My best friend.. He makes me smile and laugh everyday.. He gives me the things i have always needed, to feel loved.. to feel kindness... to trust enough to be vulnerable. Aaron is so affectionate that i never doubt his love for me. I feel secure. Im very fortunate that i have him and i thank Jehovah for bringing us together..

We started our day by having breakfast together.. After Aaron left i waited for the cake to be delivered. This is a chocolate buttermilk cake made by Sarah Beal who is a awesome cook and baker.. I designed it and she made it. She is the best, best mate you could ask for. It tasted devine Aaron said its the best choc cake he has ever tasted. She put her home made strawberry jam in the middle with choc frosting as per my request as the jam is so good. This cake was so so so DEVINE!!! Sarah also sent flowers from her garden too.. They were busting with colour.


Then i jumped in the truck and headed to the store to get the rest of the picnic treats sorted out, (turns out i made way to much food).
Aaron come home and lunch takes the truck and disapears. He comes home with the most amazing bunch of flowers. See below

I get the picnic together drive 25mins to set it up and then come back and collect him..
For our anniversary i prepared a picnic by the river. We spent the evening swimming, cuddling and eating... lol.. a very chilled and intimate picnic. A first for both of us..

I Passed My Driving Test

So I took my driving test this morning at 10.30am. Claudia came with me and we drove around the "course", officially your not supposed to know the route they take you on but the instructors tell you and it gets passed around. I didnt take any official lessons i just drove when we were out and about.

To be honest the test is really easy, esp as its in a automatic. Even if it was Manuel the route is so simple.. Im just glad i can drive and get around now.. im happy

Here is a picture of our truck that ive been driving and took the test in,.. This isnt our truck but its exactly the same, except ours is dark grey.

Our First Dance

We attended a wedding on Saturday and the song "At last" by Etta James came on and Aaron took me by the hand and we danced it was our first dance as a married couple.. I was so happy...
Happy sigh......
