As some of you know, we had a very bad month of April, where I lost my job (for no good reason other than I opened my mouth and spoke my opinion), and then all of a sudden Coco went lame in her back legs and couldn't walk due to a disc problem in the back which is quite normal for dachhunds. After an expensive operation, it was initially looking good with her rehabilitation, even though we were looking at 4-6 weeks training. However, she got very aggressive and after a few close calls, I copped a bite in my nose landing me in the emergency rooms for a clean-up and some antibiotics to avoid infection!
This is how you look the day after your dog bites you...
Because of the aggressiveness and the bite, we took the very tough decision to euthanize Coco, so unfortunately we said goodbye to our little friend and family member on April 27.
My nose has gone down to normal size again now, but I have some very nasty scars, so I'm hoping they will disappear....
Apart from the whole Coco affair, both Kasper & I were looking for new jobs, and last week Kasper was offered a job as a consultant for Focus. He starts his new job on Monday 16th May. I am still looking for a new job...
Because Kasper starts work next week, we felt like getting away to experience and see something new (so we could all get our mind on something else than missing Coco) was a good idea before he starts his new job. We decided to take a 3 day trip to Bright and Falls Creek this week and we managed to find some pet friendly accommodation so Bailey could come along.
On Tuesday, we set off on our trip. You can see all the pictures here:

It was a very nice time of year to visit Bright with all the autumn colours, but we also lucked out and got to experience the year's first snow in Falls Creek!! :-) Very cold, though!
That's it for now. Enjoy the pictures!
