In the end – when you’re right, you’re right.

I was right.  My dog is home, safe, happy, healthy and I couldn’t be more happy.

Zelda is my 2 month old border collie puppy, when I bought her I was told that she had her initial shots… well unfortunately it appears to be a lie as she is now battling with Parvo. Parvo is a very dangerous virus that can be fatal to young puppies. Zelda was going to get what was supposed to be her “Second” shot this week some time, looks like its too late. My wife and I have to administer an IV under her skin twice a day and inject her with an antibiotic as well as a medicine to make her less nauseous. We’re hoping that she pulls through… at this time we’re unsure what will happen.

Ironically, she very tiredly walked into the corner and urinated on my Wii. She actually managed to pee into the game slot which impressed me. This picture is the aftermath… Either she thinks Wii sucks, or she wants me to realize how good it is because it may not work anymore.  I am lucky it wasn’t the XBox, I don’t want to be the first guy to get 3 yellow rings and Microsoft say I’m on my own!

Seems like a long time has gone by since I last wrote anything here.  I am kept pretty busy by a wife, 2 dogs and a baby on the way… not to mention moving and just reporting to a new assignment.  My wife and I saw our baby for the first time today, looks like we’re about 6 weeks into this… so far, things seem to be going well.  If all goes well in 7.5 months we’ll be welcoming a whole new human being into this world and into our family.  There are tons of thoughts and feelings flying around but we continue to do our best.

I admit I’ve been lazy for the past few months and just now got around to checking my stats for the first time since October and all I can say is whooooooa.   I went from having around 200 hits a day to 20.  I’m not sure how that happened, it is crazy.  Maybe lack of actual updates has helped lead to this downfall of such a glorious blog.  Perhaps it is a bit narcissistic to own your name as a domain name, but I don’t really care.  Maybe I’m not that interesting.  At least not anymore, now that all the life has been sucked out of me by a certain employer.  I cannot wait to leave this assignment, I love Korea but when I go to work I am extremely stressed and anxious and I hate it.  I’m no boy scout, I just do my job.  Ass kissing never has been my style and it never will be so people will have to just accept it.  Anyway, I leave here January 21st god willing even though its nearly 3 weeks later than I wanted.  I’ll just be happy to watch the place shrink from the window of the plane.  I would write more but I suppose I should go to sleep considering I need to wake up at 4AM since I work a lovely 5am to 5pm shift.
