Just July

July was a lot quieter than the previous 2 months. Drew and his brothers enjoyed the wet school holidays and another rest from school. The last 2 weeks of the month threw up a few challenges, we lost our cockatiel, our dog got attacked by an American Pit Bull who dragged him out of my arms, sadly Paddy passed away, my accelerator pedal broke (on the way to Paddy's funeral) and Peter has a pinched nerve in his back. The dog surprisingly survived, with relatively few injuries, the cockatiel was returned the day after the dog attack (11 days missing), I arrived at the funeral on time (thanks to a friend) and well Peter has still got a pinched nerve. At the end of the day, or rather month, the important thing is, Drew and the rest of us are all healthy (touch wood) and appreciating what we have.
