Welcoming Roxy Rocket!


5 months before our big day, and we've adopted a kid! She's a 5-year-old miniature Pinscher from SPCA and awesomely cute! Sherm's been coming over daily to train and feed the little girl, I can't complain. Our first priority was to get her to assimilate into the Quah pack, including our 2 four-legged friends Jacky and October. That's sorta been done already, and we've established ourselves as the Alpha and higher-ranked pack-member. Next up - training her. She understands her name already, we just need to get her to "Come" more frequently. "Sit" has taken about 5 days and she's sorta getting it more on the dot already, so we'll be moving on to words like "Go", and "Heel" soon.

You may be thinking, that must make you quite busy before your Big Day doesn't it? Adding on the extra load of taking care and training the new member must be affecting your schedule. Well, sort of yes and no. We're seeing more of each other now, but we're not getting the things done. Take for example, we're into our 3rd week of the Marriage Preparation Course (MPC) and we've accumulated 2 couple-paks that need doing before this Sunday. We're still tossing about ideas for our Honeymoon, and we've got the guest list that still needs to be put together. Furthermore, I'm meeting up with my buddies to plan my Stag party, and I still need to make arrangements for my flight and lodgings for Uncle's Vietnam wedding in November. Phew.. Not to mention the wedding event things that we need to finalize (oops).

Oh well, Roxy's a darling, and she's getting both our combined effort and energy to keep her in check. She'll be the most well-behaved dog in the house, and we hope to bring her around where we go in time to come too! haha..

Ah well, that's the latest update for ya. =)
