About Movies and Pets

Hi all-


Haven't seen Avatar yet - Emily is the only one in our family to have seen it so far, and declared it "Awesome!!" Maybe after all the glowing reports we'll have to get ourselves to the movies one day. Em is off to see Alice in Wonderland this afternoon, which has gotten mixed reviews down here. Anyone seen it yet? If so, what did you think? It's another one I wouldn't mind seeing...


Welcome to Alfie - he sounds like an "easy-care" pet! Much more low-maintenance than a pup, that's for sure! Chai is keeping us on our toes, to say the least. We can't take her out into public yet, as she hasn't had all her needles. The day after my birthday is her last of 3, and then she will be allowed out into the big bad world - look out! The leash training is going slowly, but she has gotten "sit", "stay", "come", and "down" (sometimes) for the most part, except when she is really excited/distracted! She has started barking at the chooks, but the ignore method and then distraction with a toy seems to be working so far. No digging yet (touch wood!), but an obsession with a particular flower pot seems to be developing - no idea where that comes from!




Glad to hear the New Yorkers are plowed out. Snow - what a distant memory!! We've had more rain than we know what to do with, and everyone is going a bit stir-crazy. The good news is that the drought is now officially over; the bad news is that most of western Queensland is now flooded. At least dams will be full and farming will be possible after the floodwaters have subsided. FYI Jules - school is "okay" (R) and "really good" (E). Good luck at DI!
