Yesterday I turned 28...and well it didn't feel that much different than 27...My boyfriend had been planning some sort of 'surprise' get together. He really underestimates my ability of understanding Turkish :) I figured it out but let him continue on with his plan.
We went to this nice restaurant/bar in the city center with a beautiful view. If it hadn't been raining it would have been much nicer! Only one of my friends showed up. The rest of the people were his friends. I know them all and we have all hung out before...and his closest friend came from another city to be there which was really nice. It just kind of sucked that my friends couldnt be bothered to make an effort...Some of them had good excuses (out of town and a wedding) but after last year of NO ONE wanting to do anything I gave up on planning anything.
He also got me a beautiful present! It is a oyster (or clam?) that you break open and put the pearl inside of a necklace. I was also really happy that he tried so hard to plan something for me even though my friends were shit ;)
In other news. I/we adopted a dog. She was abused while living in the streets. She followed a girl and her dog home and the girl posted on a local website to re-home her. We named her Kuzu (which means lamb, also a term on endearment here) The first few days she only laid around the house...barely moved, hardly ate...Now she is moving around more but still sleeping a lot. She is getting used to going for walks but is terrified of cars. She still cowers a little when you pet her. Today she started howling. she has never barked, she whines when she is scared sometimes but never makes a sound...yet today she was howling it sounded so sad. We think she might want to be outside and maybe she just isnt cut out for house life? Anyone have any advice with dealing with abused street dogs?
