Getting Settled. . .

We have finally made our move to Singapore. We are in our apartment and finally have internet and cable working! So I'm finally updating! (That was quite a project for Jeremy and not a very fun one! ) There is so much red tape to get through to do anything in this country, and poor Jer has all the luck. Everytime he tries to do anything there is always a hang-up completely out of his control. . . very frustrating for him. But it's all good now! Daisy and I are surviving without eachother. She has been in quarantine for 15 days and has 15 more to go. She'll finally come home the day after Christmas, I'm counting down the hours! lol She has been taking it a lot better than I have which is amazing considering she is seriously in a prison! Here are some pictures of her prison cell:
Here is her cell door. You can see the windows are high up, so if we are late coming to see her, Daisy will stand on top of her kennel so she can watch for us out the window. . . so heart breaking!
This is the inside, as you can see not a whole lot. :(
She does have this little area that opens up so she can look outside and get even more depressed about being locked up.
The gloomy hallway where all the other 'prisoners' are.
Don't be deceived about how lovely the outside looks. . . it's still a prison.
This is the run that she is able to use for a 15min slot per day; the only time during that day that she gets taken out to go to the bathroom. (They say they take them in the morning but I don't believe it the way she has to go soo bad, it is disturbing!) And they make you sign up two days in advance to take her out. Really it is like a Nazi camp with so many rules!!!
Sorry I'll get off my soap box. Wow this is pretty pathetic that I have all this to say about my dog and nothing else. But this has pretty much been my life for the past 15 days. I get to visit only from 4-6 Mon-Sat. It takes about an hour and a half to get there so I leave each day at 2:30 hop on a bus to the MRT station, then I catch a cab from the MRT to the quarantine. Quite a trip but well worth it. Besides now I have a better grasp of the island and the public transportation! Stay tuned for more excitement. By the way we miss you all and would love to hear from you!!!

YAY! You finally updated your blog. We have all been wondering here in the slums of Rigby, Idaho, USA how the heck you guys were doing, and if everyone got there o.k! Poor Jeremy, mister perfectionist, not having things exactly lined up, perfectly planned - I can imagine that's hard for him!! We miss you guys so bad. It's just not the same "hood" without you. I agree with the "what about you guys" comments - let's see your house!!!
