The Times They Are A Changin'

So it's been a while and we've got some exciting things happening. I guess we'll start with the bigger news first....we've got a new addition to the family. No, not a baby, well, not a human baby at least. We just bought a 3 1/2 month old French Bulldog and named him Stewie (after the baby on family guy).

It is hard to describe Stewie in one word. The first day he came to our home he was quiet and shy, but the next day he started jumping around like a rabbit and running around like a deer in the house. Sometimes, he would just bark at a fan and fight with it. His favourite game is crawling under the sofa, he just keeps coming out and going in nonstop. He also loves to lay on his back for us to scratch his belly.

It was a difficult first week with him because the potty training was out of control with a lot of pee and poo welcoming us every morning. Suffering from coughing, sneezing and runny nose, stewie got sick on the fourth day, something called the Kennel Cough, which was carried home from the Pet Shop. Luckily after a few days of antibiotics, Stewie is full of energy again. He is learning bit by bit every day, Stewie is a playful, friendly and a curious little baby dog.

The second and third changes in our family are that both Angie and Tyler are changing jobs. I guess we are the lucky ones in such a difficult time. Tyler is becoming a writer for an expat website, he is going to introduce everything about Hong Kong to people coming to live or work here. Angie will be working in another insurance company as senior unit manager starting from this coming December (although it won't be very exciting going back to work after a long vacation, but it is good to have another challenge in career). She is also joining the trailwalker organised by the charity oxfam and aiming to finish a 100km, 45 hr. hike in the New Territories from Sai Kung to Yuen Long.
