"A REAL Dog"

Adam and I walked Dakota and Unnamed yesterday. We decided to go downtown to help them get used to big big crowds and the hustle and bustle of the streets. People were amazed, more at Dakota than anything. He's a big dog, a Husky, so people look and think "A wolf!" Our neighbors children actually had asked if he was a wolf. They're not wrong in this assumption, really, as the Husky is one of the closest breeds TO a wolf, but none the less, it's still funny.

He attracts attention, which is usually negative. People get angry when they see larger dogs. But today we received no negative feedback. (More than likely because there is a younger generation downtown!) People said Hello, they said he was a Beautiful Dog, and they waved. One couple had actually stopped to crouch down, pet him, play with his ears. He just sat there all happily. It was too cute!

Adam and I assumed they were selling dogs, but an older couples with 5 puppies in a cart came down and stopped to look at us, maybe trying to sell the puppies? That was interesting. A car stalked us as well. It slowly followed behind us, hopefully just driving, but I highly doubt it. It was a fun walk, though, people were interested in Kota (and Unnamed!) and stared A LOT, but we had no dog kicking or yelling. :) In fact, a western group walked by and said "A real dog!!!" Yay Korea!

Kitty Cats and Koreans.

Lately, I have ben going down to the animal shelter, KAPS, as much and as long as I can. Most of the time, I spend my time with the cats, as I'm much more of a cat person, and sometimes, I think they need it a lot more. A lot of people like dogs, but not many people like cats as much, and seem to think they're independent enough that they don't need human attention as much as dogs do. I think they need it though, so i enjoy spending my time down there sitting down and stroking them and taking pictures of them. Makes me miss my kitties, though. You can see pictures of these beautiful cats, here. I like to go down to the dog shelter as well, and I've especially taken to a little (Yorkie) mix, who is bubbly and sweet. I take him for a walk around the block and he's as happy as day that he's allowed for a walk. So cute.
About pets, however, we seem to be having some serious issues with Dakota in regards to his behavior. He's chewed up 800-1000 dollars worth of furniture, he's peeing and pooping in the house after he JUST did it outside, and he's been biting us in what seems like an aggressive manner. We're confused, annoyed and stressed. It's been a lot to handle.

On a good note, however, I met my Korean friend, Rose, yesterday, who was a veryyyyy sweet girl. She's 24 (23 in Western culture) and her boyfriend Nick is 30. I'm not going to list their Korean names for the sake of privacy, but, she's a very sweet girl. We (Rose, Myself and Adam) went out to eat, and then coffee, (her treat!) and spent the whole night talking about culture and language. She's a great friend to have, and it's very useful when we don't know how to say something or how to communicate. Made me miss C. Love a lot, though. :( I miss you C. Love!

That's a Wrap!

My husband and I had a wonderful, fabulastic day yesterday, that I think I will remember for a very long time.

We were kind of pressed as to what to do for the day, but we eventually decided upon Woobang Tower Land, a theme park type place. They actually had some really good rides, and I enjoyed myself a lot. A couple of boys were passing us and started saying "HIIII, WE FROM KOREA." and waved at us frantically. They were adorable. In fact, we got stared at more than I expected. People watched us on rides and laughed at us, Adam bought me bunny ears and Bradley. :) Bradley is the little blue thing. That probably isn't what people call him here, but I named him Bradley! When you shake him, he lights up! :3 Adam actually got bit by the dog they have at Woobang Land in the petting zoo. They have a Huskey and a Wiener Dog, and the Huskey went for his finger, so he has a cut now. :( Poor thing.

After Woobang Land, we went downtown and walked around. We ended up going into a cellphone store that had a cute charm and phone case. :) I got Sunglasses too! <3
















We ate at McDonalds, which was nice, and we went back to Avacado's. From there we went to "Beef and Leaf" with Avacado and Jersey, and went back home.

Perhaps I'll upload videos of Jersey sometime. He's quite strange. He eats cigarettes, raw mushrooms, abd soju for 7$, as well as other random crap.

4-8 MORE DAYS until we get housing. It feel like it's going to take centuries.

Rain, Rain, Go Away.

It's raining. For some reason, it's put Adam in a terrible mood where he just does not want to do anything. We were going to walk downtown, etc, but he decided the weather wasn't right for that. We'll just go tomorrow, but I bet it will rain then, too.

Last night Adam, Avacado and I went to 'Italy Italy', a restaurant in downtown Daegu, with really good food, (obviously Italian). [Note about picture: I was proud of myself for writing Sprite in Korean!].

After Italy Italy, we went back to Avacado's room and drank... A LOT. 5-8 beers later and I was drunk as hell.

I don't know what's going on tonight, Adam is at the gym and I'm doing laundry, but we might be going back out again today.

We are also planning on adopting a Golden Retriever sometime next week. :) She is an older dog, and has been in a shelter for awhile, (well, right now she's in foster care), but she's a sweetie, and Adam and I are hoping everything goes through smoothly.
