What is in your cup? - Page 255

awww Lulu is really cute.

It sounds like she is setteling in. I am sure that it willt ake a while. We adopted a puppy 6 months ago and she still shows signs of anxiety if we change her routine at all. She has an excitement pee if we put her back in her crate and go out for dinner which is a sign that she was worried we might not come back. She does not have any excitement pees when I let her out after being at work because she is used to that.

Pot one Rooibos Vanilla.

astra: Good for you for trying again. I have found many a tea that after two or three tries I just decided were not for me. It happens. The nice things about samples and even 100 gram bags is that they are not all that expensive so I don't feel like I have wasted too much money. Once you start to find the ones you like, testing new ones becomes a little less risky since you develop an understanding of your flavor profile.

Poor little puppy. I do love dogs as well but something about me and responsibility doesn't quite mix 100% so I find dogs a bit hard to look after, they want too much of my precious time.

I consider myself very lucky too that Elita is so busy with writing as well (fortunately we work both from home, so plenty of time together).

Now, time for me to go start my lemon & ginger.

Well, tonight's tea was a bit of a disaster... when I poured the water out I think a whole ant farm came along for the ride. Not at all impressed. I lost that first burst of aromatics from the tea dust to those ants!

Caya is great. Why someone would let her go is a mystery to us. She is submissive, calm, and loving. She can be playful when we encourage her. We are thrilled that whoever had her originaly let her go. All we know is that she was found at the side of the road by someone who brought her to a shelter. We adopted her when she was four months old from a rescue that got her from the shelter. She was about 3 1/2 months when she was abandonded.

We like to think that she got lucky to find us because we spoil her rotten. (grins)

Pot two of Rooibos Vanilla.

astra where did you get the vanilla raspberry Rooibos? That sounds heavenly.

Twinnings, in a tea bag. I like the loose tea from Twinnings better, but I don't happen to have any at the moment. What's your favourite?
