Our Beautiful World 173 ~ Strange

Busy busy week for me, Clare is here for her recital, I hosted a tea party after and spent 2 days baking and preparing food, and totally forgotten about scheduling my post for....

Our Beautiful World

Strange is the word this week....

so here is the Strange thing about this dog named Coconut

 {Photo taken at Rockefeller Center, NYC, October 2016}

Coconut always has just one ear up whenever you called his name or talking to him....

I don't know much about dogs, but this is sure a Strange thing to me.

Come join us this week at....

A Day in New York City and CCCB #333

It was a cold day in NYC..... but I get to see Coconut!!!

 we spent the day walking, smelling flowers in Central Park....

 and chasing ducks....

Coconut is double the size now at 4 months old, he looks still as cute except one ear is always up these days when you called his name....

he learns a few new tricks.....

and even know how to ring the bell when he needs to pee.... I got to show you that video someday, super cute!

A NEW "YORKIE" now but still trying to get used to the street noise, he doesn't really like it.

well..... I will post more when I do my project life, which desperately trying to catch up to date. Sigh....

Here's my card today for.....

The yellow and flowers inspired me to choose the little floral print paper for my project...

and because fall is almost here, I think the harvest mouse would be fun.....

Things at home is getting better so is my mood.... we finally decide that I need to go back to the ocean, even for a while, my teaching schedule is just getting harder and harder for me to go back to Long Branch, NJ for a month or two, it was on the list of "things to do in 2015", we didn't make it and it is impossible this year as well since taking off from work is hard and summer is just too expensive at the Jersey Shores, to fix that, we decided to do a short trip to Oceano, CA, by the Pacific Ocean, the trip will be just a 6 hours drive, we are staying for 5 days, that makes it all possible for me to go away before all my classes starts in school in October, I just need to take a few days off from my private teaching classes, so YES!!! I am going back to the Ocean, this September. The Mermaid in me is HAPPY!

Dolce and Coconut went back to NYC for school few days ago.....

I miss both of them so much...... Alfie is slowly adjusting the life in NYC, the noise, the siren, the underground.... Dolce takes him everywhere she goes.

this one at home also need some adjustment, sad to say, the new puppy plus issue with Lila (Clare's dog) at home trigger some aggressive behaviour in Papi, he started barking at other dogs when we go for walks, and he even nip at one of the dog at the dog park the other day, we had to take him out and it was very embarrassing, he had become the dog we used to hate at the dog park, so sad..... where is my sweet little boy?

Some puppy notes from home....

 

COCONUT is a Maltipoo, he is 8 weeks old.....

 

 I sure would love him to stay but nah....

he is going back to NYC with Dolce (sop sop....)

Dolce wants a dog, so we went to a few shelters, wanting to adopt one. Ever since Clare adopted Lila, I've seen tremendous changes LOVE can a dog's life. Lila was abused the first three years of her life, she was made to breed and then abandon on the street, so she is fearful, afraid of men and other dogs, when she first came, she barks a lot, just about to anyone except Clare, and no one can go near her, not even Jared, but after six months of loving care from Clare and Jared, I see a different Lila, she is much happier and also learn to accept male that are kind to her. I remember Lila supposed to put to sleep because there just isn't enough room for her at the shelter, Clare and Jared took her in as a foster parent, fell in love with her and not only save her life, they changed Lila's life forever. I wanted to adopt a dog instead of buying just for that reason, but after visiting a few shelters, we learn that the adopted dog cannot leave Las Vegas, that means, Dolce can't take the dog home, so we ended up buying again, that way, the dog is free to move to NYC with Dolce and we are not bind to any contract by the shelter.

 

 so COCONUT is here to stay, not at home with us though, not just because COCONUT is for Dolce, also because Papi is just a chicken, he even afraid of tiny COCONUT! Wherever COCONUT is, Papi just stay away, so we have to be extra careful and protect Papi's feeling too!
