Of dogs and licences!

Life is not boring for us that is for sure!  This past week or two have had their fair share of the unexpected, but we remind ourselves that it hasn’t taken the Lord by surprise.  We have been delayed with the retail bookshop side because of a hiccup in our trading licence application that we are in the process of sorting out but it means there could be 6weeks or so before we can trade.  Meanwhile the first edition of the magazine is looking good in draft form as the graphics guy puts it together but we are having serious problems trying to get advertising to cover the expenses of this first edition as no-one is willing to advertise in a ‘first edition’!  It’s just another hurdle to look at as an opportunity for God to be glorified that we hadn’t thought of!

 

Then paralleling this, one of our dogs got very sick.  Gemma is still sick after 10 days and has spent the most part of this time in the dog hospital.  Her conditions are still baffling the vet, but as she won’t eat and has twice during these 10 days vomited strange ‘green’ liquid, he wants to keep her in for longer yet!  We don’t really want to lose her, but are unsure of what the future holds in this.  She is happy apart from this it seems and is not acting ‘sick’ except that she won’t eat!! 

 

Meanwhile of course I have enjoyed a birthday and we have our 12^th wedding anniversary – two special times to enjoy together.  My hubby even arranged a bit of a surprise birthday dinner for me with friends at my favourite restaurant – “Rio”.
