em cứ hồn nhiên như thế!


Just be a naughty and innocent like that my boy!

Yesterday Nam had his left eye operation because of corneal sequestrum. His 3th operation when he's not even 3 years old yet. It's so pity for him, but I'm still glad that I took him from the shelter and can take care of him

Thấy tội cho em quá, mới bé tẹo mà mắt e toàn sẹo à.

Yesterday I was so anxious, his operation was at 3.30pm but he couldn't eat 12h before that because of anaesthesia. So no breakfast, no lunch. The boy was so hungry, yet after nagging for food by scratching himself to us several time and didn't get it, he just played again by himself, and of course then sleeping, almost the morning.

I felt so bad that we could eat but not him, so we decided to leave him at the pet clinic earlier before our lunch so he wouldn't see us eating. Right after J. brought the cage to the living room, the boy understood what's gonna happen. He tried to hide under the chair, and "grr" like defending, but we caught him. Right at that moment my heart felt like squeezing, even though this is for his best, it felt like us abusing a small and weak creature that can't defend himself, and he couldn't talk.

I put my phone right next to me so I can pick up the phone immediately if the clinic called, but it was not until 6.15pm when it rang - when I was already very nervous that something might go wrong - the clinic informed that the operation was successfully and Nam was awake already. We drove there but had to wait as well, which made me more anxious. The doctor was a very kind one, he's around 50-look very young at his age. He gave detail explanation what's going on, what we should do. So 2 weeks of antibiotic liquid, drops to Nam's eye 3 times per day.

It was 2 weeks ago when I wrote this. Tuesday this week Nam had the first checkup and his eye recovered very well. The conical hat was removed (he somehow did it himself 2days before the checkup). Boy is allowed to go outside and he looks very happy (even though this week the weather is so BAD, snowing, raining, cold, all worst April since I'm in the Netherlands...)

A zoo experience

 Recently, I got interested in Coral reefs after reading a report on how coral reefs affects the biodiveristy . I read that the Burgers's zoo in Arnhem   has successfully bred tropical coral reefs , so we have to visit it. We arrived a little bit late so we had only 3h before it closed (at 5pm) to explore. It was a cold winter day, yet the sun was shining, which made it nicer to see the zoo view. The penguins welcomed us right after the entrance, they look so funny and chill. And it smelled very fishy - from the fishes that they ate. As we thought we didn't have enough time, so we head straight direction of the Ocean's part. We however got attracted by another experience - the tropical forest. Entering it was warm, and i felt immediately like I'm in Vietnam. They managed to mimic the warm humid tropical climate in such a nice cold country. Now I've already think my 29e zoo ticket worth its price :). I heard a lot of births chirping with different sounds and tone...

Cuộc dạo chơi cùng em mèo béo

Today is quite a sunny day.  After the recent cloudy, foggy and cold days, getting some nice sun is a treasure. After lunch, we decided to go for a walk around the house and to run some errands. I left Nam outside just at lunch time so he was still around at the front door when we got out. Should he be in our out? I'm always more cautious and want him to be inside while we are not home. But he, probably just like us, missing the sun, didn't get in the house. We said, well, let's go, he will be fine. But...Nam started following us. He's like 2 or 3 meters behind us, not so close, but not so far. He was actually running quite happily.  Nam- close to home, more confident, and at the big road more careful It's one block from my house, and Nam was still following. He's a bit careful, from time to time looked around and looked back, maybe to check where he was. He actually looked a bit like detective dog following us. I was still scared, asked J. if he could catch Nam...

Norway 3: Kayaking, glacier hiking and us

It felt like a movie when I woke up in the morning and opening the cabin’s door. In front of me was a large and beautiful lake, next to it was a huge and wide mountain. Some early sunlight got through the water just created a perfect scene. We had a typical roadtrip’s breakfast with slides bread, ham & cheese on a picnic table chair on the grass in-between the cabin and lake but it felt like eating wonderful food because of the view. “Meal with a view” is a common phase we used in our trip. Just stopped by somewhere, took the sandwich out, and you’ve got an amazing view to accompany your meal. Back to our breakfast, while we were silently admiring the nature, an active lady was kayaking on the lake. The view of her, the water tail created by the kayaking and the kayaking itself made a perfect morning picture. This is the first time I stayed in a cabin so its completely a new experience. Later on the trip we stayed over 3 more cabins and they were also different. But I would describ...
