what cute puppies. i love dogs. most of you remember my white lab mix shakar-avazian that i gave to ara and then we laid to rest in martuni. then i tried bringing home a chow mixed named winnie the pooh (pronounced vini-pukh). the second day arthur gave me an ultimatum it was either him or vini. it was a very hard choice. i took an ad in the paper... giving away my husband or my puppy... come and decide which one you want. a family with children were the first to arrive. they auditioned arthur and vini... and ended up taking my puppy. arthur cannot live with dogs in the apartment, so with tears in my eyes i found vini a home.

for a long time now i have been talking arthur into selling the apartment to buy a house... then i can have a few puppies in the yard. in order to stay in the center of the city (which is where our apt. is located) and seeing the desperation of the situation as well as the frowns that would appear every weekend after visiting the puppy section of vernisage... he found the answer to all our problems.

he surprised me on valentines day with a baby cockatiel named chico. he is from the parrot family and can talk. but for the past ten days all he has been doing is throwing us attitude... hissing and facing the opposite way... or panickly flapping his wings when we try to take him out. even a few bites have been attempted. if anyone has a cockatiel i need advice. can you tell me the secret to befriending the great bird. the pet store guy told us to starve him then feed him from my hands... but i find that a little harsh and mean. i want a more humane approach.

arthur and i decided to treat ourselves this month to some real good healing. her name is allah and she comes and gives me a one hour massage, and arthur a one hour massage. i have a bit of an arch in my back so she is curing that ... and arthur has headaches so she is curing him for those. she is a certified doctor who also has prepared in germany and russia in healing massages and energy healing. it is wonderful. this is going to cost us 100USD. this includes 10 days of massaging, one hour for arthur and one hour for me. that is an amazing deal...

we went to the demonstration yesterday...i really wanted to see what was going on. all my repat friends had the same idea... i saw everyone i knew. it was interesting, there was a large large show of people ... almost 60,000 demonstrating against the current government. we will see what happens.

working during this time is ridiculous. whatever you want, whatever you need... the most common answer these days is... no problem, but after the elections.
