A sailor went to sea, sea, sea.

Now if you've been on my facebook lately you would know that ben went to sea yesterday on his way to hawaii. It was so hard to see him go, but even harder to come home to an empty house and bed. Without my family near me to support me isn't helping me get through this and I am finding it hard not to cry all the time. Being on the other side of the country to your family and close friends with a limited amount of people that you know makes living all day to day things difficult. It gets so lonely at night and I wish I had someone I could just hug and make everything alright.

I miss him so much and I want my mum to be here with me she knows what I am going through and I need her right now. But with her over in Melbourne and I in Perth I don't see that happening. Life just isn't the same when he is at sea, and I cannot wait for the day when he won't have to.

Training Takes Time

When you hear the word training, what is the first thing that your mind thinks of?

Wow, where did that donut come from around my waist... Think I need to work it off.

Man I can't even do a lap of the footy oval... Think I need to get fit.

Work, work, work... I don't have the time to train.

I need more training for the job I want.

or do you think Can't be bothered, Too hot, Too cold, Too busy or I don't need to.

What do you need to train for?

A marathon,

A charity race,

Sports event,

A specific job,

A dance recital.

But does your mind think of Toilet training/ House training?

Toilet training Children takes a lot of work, with getting them used to sitting on the toilet during nappy changes and then learning from the accidents that happen, knowing that the feeling of warm urine running down their leg is not a good thing.

Puppy toilet training is pretty much taking them outside and just standing with them until they go and then praising them and/or giving them a treat. This is the frustrating part, other than their accidents inside, having to wait around until they do something take a bit of time; sometimes time that you don't have.

3 Weeks ago we bought a maltese shitzu puppy. Sasha is grasping the term Sit but still hasn't got a hold on the toilet training yet. At first I thought she didn't want to go outside but later found out it wasn't that, because she walks out by herself all the time. So now I just have to wait and hope TIME works it out. So here is a couple of photos to keep you entertained.
