So the end of the year and the beginning of the new one hasn't been great. We took a quick ten days down to Henties in the middle of December with all the furkids, and had a good time apart from the drama that they caused :) we weren't really able to leave them alone often and Kita and Ciara had their first fight where they drew blood.
Apart from that we chilled a bit and then still worked through. We came back to Windhoek to have Pio's gran arrive and still had Angelique with us, but she popped off to house sit on the 23rd. I then spent Christmas Eve cooking, cleaning and wrapping presents, only to discover that Arende in Henties charged me for 2 lights and only gave me one. I tried calling them and they just don't get back to me. What great service.
Christmas Day we spent with Vicky and Tiaan which was nice, I enjoyed it. We had a champagne breakfast, opened presents, and lay in the pool. Late afternoon we have a big lunch and then headed home about 7 to feed dogs and all that.
The Sunday sadly Kita and Ciara got into a major fight and nothing could break them up. It was the final straw and the realisation that this situation won't work. Monday we had to go to the vet and have Kiki stitched up and Kita doctored. From there came the decision that it was time to look for another home for her. I cried for a week.
NYE we had to go back to the vet as Kiki was shaking her head alot and I thought she had a bladder infection. Natasha at Windhoek Vet saw her and remembered her so told me the history that she knew as well as I ran into Ockie's niece who told me what she knew.
I then did some advertising, and now we have found a home for her and have started the integration. It is with another male Akita, so I am worried, but there seems to be ease and no aggression. We will meet again this afternoon and see what happens again, and then another few times during the week. If Kiki seems happy with them then she will have a sleep over on Saturday night, and that is when I will have to learn to let go.
I have also worked most of this week so I haven't really had a break and the stress of everything happening has caused fights, issues, and all over drama. It hasn't been a good start to the year and losing Kiki is going to be bad.
It's also going to be one hell of a year I think, so time to get back into routine and also do a serious detox. I need to lose some weight and do some exercise and take some vitamins. See if I can get everything back on track.
Here's to 2016!
