Love:

  • Being in the suburbs surrounding the city
    The fact that I live in the Capital, so the city is very important
    That the citizens and Public Servants are forward-thinking (almost demanding that the LOTR - Return of the King World Premiere was hosted here Dec. 1 2003)
    I can get whatever I want, almost whenever I want
    Unemployment is really low
    It's coming into summer
    I have all my pets at our rental property - the landlord likes animals too!


Hate:
  • THE WIND!!! THE WIND!!! THE WIND!!! I hate the WIND!
    My country is so isolated - it's a big deal to go overseas
    All the Vet Clinics know 'of' me, but don't KNOW me, and aren't willing to take a chance on me
    To become a Vet or get a good, thorough vet nurse education there is only one Uni offering VN and BVSc courses, and it is 2 hours away
    Traffic jams
    Careless people who abandon their pets
    People who are cruel to animals


That last point just reminded me that it is the national SPCA collection/appeal week here in NZ this week. I will give generously.
