My day is going pretty well

The weather was pretty nice today, and I was able to open the windows to get all the nice sunlight in, instead of having to watch the clouds and switch the lights on. I played a few games online, and watched some episodes of one of my favorite TV series with my boyfriend. Against my better judgment, I also ate a few cherries dipped in milk chocolate, and drank a lot of soda. I also took pictures from my cellphone to put them on my computer so that I could send them to my friends.

Canine Care

Caring for a dog is a great responsibility and reward. Before getting a dog you should keep a few things in mind. Your new pet will be expensive and high maintenance. First you will need food. Second veterinary care like shots, deworming, spaying or neutering. You will also need a leash, collar, and name tag. If you liven in a cold climate you may need dog sweaters for dogs. You will also want shampoo and flea medication. But the hardest part will probably be puppy proofing your home so your new dog doesn’t eat your house. And don’t forget about training your new dog will have to learn basic commands. You can do this with either training classes or home training. If you choose home training you will need some type of healthy treat as a reward. Also socializing your new puppy is very important. Take him with you to the park or pet store and let him meet other people and dogs.

Teenagers

I think teenagers are overrated. It may sound harsh but that really is my feeling about that species. My daughter is 14 years old and an absolute nightmare. Everything must go her way or else there is a huge temper tantrum including some really nasty verbal abuse. In these modern times, kids somehow feel that they are entitled to everything and then some. It is Children’s Right left, right and center. And if you are not quite as rich as her friends’ parents, it is your fault that she can not fit into her peer group. I feel like the worst parent ever. There is light at the end of the tunnel though. I have attended a seminar about teenagers recently and statistics prove that at the age of 16 they transform from monsters into human beings with a conscience. I can not wait! Only two years to go!

Mi Casa

I live in South Africa in a place called Centurion. It is a nice suburb of the political capital, Pretoria. I love my neighborhood. It’s safe, the people are friendly, it’s close to my work and it has all the amenities you could want in a modern settlement. My house is quite large. It has four rooms, two bathrooms, a study and a music studio. I have a huge garden and a stunning swimming pool.  I know I’ve said that I am not rich, but you have to understand that property here are not as expensive as those in the United States.
