My baby had his first haircut 😭

Hello my sunflowers 🌻 

This past weekend was very difficult for me. For those that don’t know I got my cutest cutest cutest puppy in April.

I’ve had 2 dogs before in my life. My first dog I had her when I was in primary school and she passed away. Then my second dog I got him when I was in grade 11 and she also passed away. So I’ve been wanting a puppy for about 3 years now but I never got the chance to get one. So this year I gave myself a great birthday present by getting a Yorkie. 

I actually wanted to get a white Maltese. HOWEVER they are so rare to find.  Therefore I was only able to get a Yorkie. 

The picture below is the first day I got him. His so cute😍😍😍. I was so scared to hold him😂😂

Why a Yorkie ? I don’t like dogs that’s grow, I find them annoying therefore, a Yorkie was perfect for me. I wanted a dog with low maintenance and that won’t give me problems. Reason being, I am working and I do not have much time on my own to give the dog all my attention. 

My puppies name is Zoey (it’s a boy). I know Zoey is not a name for a male dog. But who cares that’s my dog and I like the name 😂😊

The picture below is when Zoentjie is sleeping ( I call him Zoentjie but my mom calls him ZO ZO).  He has his own bed. He has a pink blanket AND pink toys 😂we have to compromise. He can’t just have EVERYTHING blue 

We have been washing Zoey by ourselves but it’s has not been working for me so I decided that this weekend I will take him to a dog parlour.

I thought that I would get there and it will just take 30 minutes and I will wait and watch him get washed and etc. HOWEVER!! That did not happen. I arrived at Mutt Cuts in Centurion and they took Zoey away from me and put him in a caged dog house.

As if that was not enough!! It took them 4 hours for my child to get washed and I had to leave him there to be with people he does not know for FOUR HOURS!!!!!! I felt so sad. I called my mom and I was crying because I felt like I was leaving my baby alone and he is feeling that I am abandoning him.😭the hardest thing ever. 

HOWEVER! when I came back to the parlour and collected him, he was so excited to see me😭He immediately ran to me 😂but he looked too cute , they cut his nails , washed him ,cut his hair, trimmed his hair as well as brushed his teeth. I was happy with the service they gave me and Zoey. 

This is how he looks now. He looks so shocked haha 😂😂

But he looked beautiful. 😍

Honestly I never understood people who were attached to animals like cats and dogs. I used to find them very very weird. But I absolutely understand now, You really become attached to them, it feels like they are humans, you can see when they are unhappy, scared, and excited. The best feeling is coming home after a long day at work and you have your little puppy waiting for you at the door and jumping up and down waiting for you to pick him up awww. 

Just like humans, they have feelings as well and I truly got to learn my baby and I made vow to my self that I am not going to lose this one, he will stay alive for a very very long time. And he will get a sibling as years go by hahahaha. 

Send me an email and let me know if you feel the same about your pets. And where do you get your pets washed ? Or do you wash them

XOXO

Wisdom books for the month📚📚

Hello my sunflowers 🌻 

It’s time for some wisdom books to read.

If you know me you would know I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read. I absolutely believe that everyone should read at least 1 book a month. Why ? Reading brings wisdom, you learn a new vocabulary as well as gain knowledge. 

So it’s very important to open your mind. I honestly believe knowledge is power. 

So let’s get into it.

The first book that I have been looking forward to read for a while has been Crushing by TD Jakes.

I watched a YouTube video with TD Jakes and Steven Furtik ,when he was promoting his book. He was taking about the process of making wine that in order to get to that beautiful wine. You have to pick grapes from the vineyard, then to crush the grapes is a process ,then to ferment the grape is a process. 

So in human terms he meant to get to BIGGER levels in life you have to be crushed. You can not experience greatness without going through the bad process. So what I took from it the most is why be a grape when you can be wine ? Wines last for a long time,the older the wine the tastier it is. 

I found that extremely profound because we as humans hate being crushed and we do not realize that in that crushing moment we are actually being pruned to be even greater than we were before. I Love love this book

I will add the link of the video below  
https://youtu.be/CzP23Zti-YI

So I definitely recommend you to read the book. He also speaks about his experiences that he went through in life where he was crushed. 

Then my second books is by Joyce Meyer. 

If you have been following my blog for years you would know that there is NO WAY I would not include Joyce Meyer in my book collection. I mean who is Onthatile without some bit of Joyce ? haha. Although, it is a book written for woman, I would recommend that men read it as well. 

I believe everyone in life has been hurt in one way or another, therefore forgiveness is not easy at all. So it really helps on how to FORGIVE YOURSELF. A lot of people blame themselves for a lot of things they have been through in life and struggle to forgive themselves more than other people.

Which I definitely know how it feels as well. So this book is a must read. 

That's it for now. Like I always say growth is important, any little step you make to grow is better than nothing.

REMEMBER to stay blessed, beautiful,kind and honest.

Wednesday favorites!!!

Heloooooo my sunflowers 

 It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. But I have not done Wednesday favorites in a very very very long time. 

Can you guys guess what today’s Wednesday’s favorite is? 😋😋😋😋😋my favorite food!!

For those that know me know that FOOD is seriously the way to my heart. I love GOOD FOOD. I am VERY PICKY when it comes to food and I would like to think that I am an expert when it comes to food

This was actually a very good meal. It was at Kream in Brooklyn. I don’t remember what this was but I think it was cheese ,mash potatoes and steak. 

My OTHER FAVORITE! 

This is definitely my favorite breakfast. This is a specialty at Tasha’s Mall of Africa. 

They don’t have this meal at other Tasha’s in Gauteng. 

So drum roll please 👏👏👏👏👏this is chicken livers with an omelette on top.This is AMAZING!!!

My other favorite is SEAFOOD😆

I seriously LOVE seafood and one of my favorites are mussels or oysters. I don’t know why I love seafood but it’s amazing!

My other favorite seafood meal are prawns and calamari. I have not tried a lobster but I seriously would love to try one, If anyone knows the BEST lobster places please let me know.  

         

                         

My favorite dessert is definitely malva pudding I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! My wedding is definitely going to have Malva pudding. So I eat Malva pudding with custard. I’m not a fan of ice cream. Honestly the best Malva pudding I’ve had is from woolworths . I’ve been to great restaurants that have Malva pudding but it’s not that great like the one from woolies. 

That's it for now. 

Hope you all enjoyed reading this blog like I enjoyed writing about it
