Dear Friends,
Thanks for the concern and hugs the last few days. As you all might have noticed, I’ve been feeling rather down and topsy turvy the last few days. I think I ought to let you know just in case I’ve upset you unintentionally with my mood swings.
Sometime last week, we realised that we had an intruder in our backyard. Firstly, thank God Tian was home with me at that time, otherwise, I would have seriously freaked out. I’m still a bit shaken but I bet it would have been worst if I was alone. Anyway, we only found out about this intruder incident in the morning because he left behind evidences. He left our backyard door open and the only thing he took from our backyard was Tian’s slippers but he left behind his own pair. Yes, very weird indeed. We did wonder why did he took Tian’s slippers and left behind his?? It just didn’t make any sense? Either way, I was quite shaken. Having some stranger in our backyard did not make me feel very safe, especially within my own home!!!! I know it could have been a lot worst but that did not stop me from feeling terrified.
This incident raised our security alert. We decided to get security screens installed on all our windows and doors facing the backyard (we already had the fronts installed a few years ago). This is going to put a huge dent in our pocket but it has to be done.
Not long after this, we recently had the freak storm last Monday that hit the Swan Valley and Perth Hills. Driving home from the train station was a nightmare. I can see trees and branches littering the streets. As I got closer to home, I noticed some huge branches were on the roof of some houses!!! I was praying hard my house will be ok. As I turn onto my street, a huge tree has fallen on the street and thank God it didn’t fall down on my neighbour’s house!!! Some streets near our suburb had to be blocked because of fallen powerlines which is hazardous. I was so relieved our house was ok apart from having no power for less than 12 hours. I just found out today that some houses still do not have power!!!
Not long after that, we found out Coco is not well, again. There’s a bit of blood in her urine, again. This happened beginning of this year and we already did urine test and blood test on her. Vet told us it was just some urinary infection and with some antibiotics, she was fine. We were so worried that this has happened again to her. We did another urine test and we’re currently still waiting for the results (was told it could take 4-5 days). Also, we’ve been advised to do an ultra sound test on Coco as well, to make sure that she does not have bladder stones or tumour. I’m so worried about my little girl. I really really hope that it is just some infection. She’s still behaving like her usual self and I assumed she’s not in any pain, I hope.
Now you can see that I’ve been hit with one bad news one after another. I really hope that there will be a rainbow after all these storms.

Oh you poor thing, no wonder you are feeling topsy turvy. I know you will feel safer with the new security things.
Poor Coco, I am glad she is being looked after so well, poor little pup. I am sure she will be well again soon.
I am sure things will be looking up for you all very soon!!

Oh Michelle, that does sound like a bad trot you have had! I’m thinking of you and sending much love and many warm fuzzies. May you and those you love be safe and sound, happy and healthy and be settled in your normal happy life again soon. These difficulties and challenges come upon us now and again and are always an opportunity to learn something or grow in one way or another. xoxo

Wow, that’s a lot at once. I hope you and your family (incl. the furry ones) will get safely through it – I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Coco and the house!
Strange about the slippers; perhaps it was a mentally unstable person who was wandering around.. That doesn’t make it any better, I know, but that could at least mean he had no intentions to harm anyone. But I think the safety screens are a good idea, regardless of his intentions. At least you can feel safe in your own house now, which is the most important thing.
Big hugs!
