One year and one puppy
On Friday night, Nat and I celebrated our one year anniversary with a dinner cruise around Darwin harbour. The weather could not have been better with calm water and a light ocean breeze. The dinner was a lovely spread including a seafood buffet of oysters, banana prawns and the most succulent smoked mackerel I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. There were, of course, various salads followed by steaks and sausages. The snags seemed a little out of place. Everything else was high class but the sausages were the average australian greasy meat tube...guess I'm just spoiled living in Waterloo eating Oktoberfest sausages piled with sauerkraut and hot mustard...mmmmm.
But anyways I digest...I mean digress. A lovely sunset over the ocean and some delicious James Squire India Pale Ale wrapped up the evening. We returned home to play with Rusty, our new puppy....
...did I forget to mention that?
The night before I'd been working at the bottleshop and some friends of my manager had popped through with this cute little red heeler cross puppy. They mentioned that they needed to find it a home or else it would be going to the RSPCA. Nat and I had talked about a puppy before and the timing couldn't have been better. The next day (Friday morning) I dragged Nat downtown to 'pick something up'....surprise! A puppy.
It's been a while since I've had a puppy and that didn't work out the greatest. Anyone reading remember Ryely and 207 Erb St? Well, I'm applying my lessons learned from him and dedicating heaps more time to Rusty to help her housetrain and ensure the safety of all the shoes in the house. She couldn't be more adorable.
