Yesterday, one of the neighbors came over with an orphaned lamb. Its mother had died over the weekend. Lexie promptly named it "Bubbles" and it is her new pet. Today, when she was home from school with a cold, she put a collar and lead on it and dragged it all over the yard. She made it watch me dig out the garden. Even when she didn't have the lead on, it followed her everywhere. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.
In other news, I may have a ride up to the craft fair in Hamilton with one of Sharon's friends! Also, I have heard from the people I am going to stay with in October. I will get to go to the New Zealand National Dog Show with their friends, and I may even have the opportunity to handle some of their dogs in the ring! Of course, I haven't done so since high school, but the possibility is incredibly exciting. They have a Jack Russell puppy who continually wins over more mature dogs in the show ring, which is almost unheard of. And they're expecting two litters of puppies at the end of October!
Also, the All Blacks are playing South Africa's Springboks in Hamilton this weekend, and apparently some of the Springbok team members have claimed that there is nothing to do in Hamilton. Now, One News is trying to prove them wrong. This is what passes for news in New Zealand. (Incidentally, One News won loads of awards at the recent Qantas Film & TV awards show, including best news. Don't worry, they have ads on about this ALL THE TIME.)
