Rotterdam > Amsterdam

Well for some reason my internet isn’t working. I woke up and was disconnected and can’t seem to get online again. I’ll have to wait for Xander to get up and fix it.Been thinking a lot about giving this website a makeover. The last few times I’ve looked at it I was sickened by all this teddybear crap. It’s SO …

Petsitting in Amsterdam

This is Ginger, she’s the 5 month old Staffordshire Terrier I’m looking after at the moment. She’s quite a handful but she’s not nearly as crazy as the previous dog I looked after. She’s very very cute and she loves to pounce on Bailey and pin him to the floor. He doesn’t appear to like this quite as much. She’s …

Ginger

Last night my husband took me on a date to see The Bourne Supremacy, it was awesome! I had my doubts that it would be as good as the previous Bourne movie but it was just as good. There was a lot of action, drama and suspense. One thing happens near the beginning that I wasn’t expecting but that just …

Ripoff

Well I think it’s safe to say I’m definately never going to see the money. I phoned her about a half hour ago to get her postal code to send back her keys. Before I could even say anything she said “Is this Tammy” then went on to tell me how I’ve caused them so much trouble. ( !!!! )She …

Kiefer Dream

Me and a bunch of people are squatting on the roof of a building. I live in a city I’ve never seen before. People are talking about fires all over the city and everyone around me is in panic. I look in the sky and there are hundreds of helicopters. I was on my period and went to the bathroom, …

As promised, here is Daisy! (click the thumbnail to see her gallery). This morning I went in to check on her and she was hanging out in her flower pot with her little turtle behind sticking out at me. When I turned it around I saw her peeking out the other side and just had to take some pics. I …

Beautiful Basenjis

This is Gus and Ike, the dogs I’m petsitting this weekend while their owners are in London. They are Basenjis which is a breed that originates in Africa. They are so sweet and easy to care for, I really love being here with them. The thing I find most strange about them is that they never bark. They are actually …

Zombie Dream

A restaurant at the top of a cliff. Nowhere that I recognized but think it was in Canada. I don’t know what I was doing there or how I got there. Something weird happened like some kind of cross between Dawn of the Dead and some movie with lots of weird animals and creatures. Me and a bunch of people …

Abortionistas

I’m frustrated with my hair. I love that it’s so long but it costs a fortune to maintain. That is unless I just want to leave it completely natural. To dye my hair costs me about 70 euros. To dye it with streaks as well is about 115 euros. That sucks!! I’m so tired of the red, I’ve had it …
