family and my dog

There is nothing more important to me than spending time with my family.  I am VERY close to my family and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about them and wish that they lived in the same country as me.  So, obviously every year I really look forward to the holidays where we all gather together and spend quality time together just watching movies, eating, and laughing all day. 

And finally, I got to see my dog, Seth!  It's been 9 months since I last saw him....I've missed him so much!!!  Every dog that passes by me cannot compare to how smart and adorable he is!!!  I was really scared that he might not remember who I am!  He was a bit mad at me when he first saw me.  He really tried hard not to show me that he was happy to see me....it's true!  He really has this personality!  Finally, after about 10 min....he couldn't be mad at me anymore....he remembers me....and he still comes to me first before anyone else!  But, I noticed that his life here is so much better than it was before.  He has more dog friends and people who care about him.  He has more room to run around and fresher air.  He also has better fresher raw foods here....which you cannot get in HK.  His fur has become more shinny from the food and he has such a normal life now. It was really hard for me to admit that he is much happier being here. In fact, when I was admitting this to my sister, Jen....i was filled with tears knowing that it was the right thing.... Not to say, that he doesn't want to be with me.  But, his life here is happier...the environment is better for him.  So...I don't think I'm going to be taking him back anytime soon...at least, I want to be positive that I'm settled before moving him...and right now, who knows how long I'll be in HK for....at least I can come and visit him more....!

Anyways....I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!!!!
