Keira's Version

It's Been A Long Time

How long has it been since I last updates my diary.. About two weeks I guessed? Well, Hunter returned back to Lancaster last week and it's just me and my lonely self again. :(

I just wished I had a doggy friend to play with. Mark's been extremely busy working nowadays. The vice-president job is really taking its toll on him. You should look at him. He looks so stressed up.


Signing off once again,

Guess Who's Back

Ladies and Doggy-man!!! The lovely Keira is back to light up your world! Yeah!

I feel so disconnected from all of ya'll. It's been dynasties since I last logged in a blogged. I'm gettin' used to San Francisco. I'm lovin' it actually! Can't believe I have to go back to Lancaster once ther summer ends because there's no one else to take care of me when Mark goes to Massachusetts.

Mark's fiance came over for her visit. She brought Hunter along. YIPEE!!! That's why I didn't log in to Dogster all week. I was too occupied with Hunter. We played all day long. *sighs*


Happily barking,
THE LOVELY KEIRA

Germany Ousts Argentina 4-2

I'm not really into soccer but since Mark switched on the TV to the live World Cup opening match, I've been hooked on to the 2006 FIFA World Cup ever since.

And today's no different. I was totallu hooked onto the anticipated Germany-Argentina showdown and I was supporting Germany, of course. I love Ballack. He's so hunky.

I was disappointed when Argentina scored a goal in the 49th minute, making the score 1-0. But rather than panic after falling behind for the first time in the tournament, the Germans relentlessly wore down Argentina from there. Regular Argentina goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri went out after a collision with Miroslav Klose in the 71st minute. Nine minutes later, Klose's header tied it. Score 1-1.

That changed as the drama built, right into the shootout. The shootout was completely lopsided, however.

Oliver Neuville, Ballack, Lukas Podolski and Borowski had no trouble scoring on Franco. Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso were stopped by Lehmann, who guessed correctly on both saves -- and nearly saved another.

Klinsmann's choice of Lehmann to start over 2002 star Oliver Kahn had caused controversy in Germany.

Several players twirled towels and their jerseys as they toured the Olympic Stadium pitch in exultation. And those Germany fans at home were barking their hearts out in celebration with Germany advances into the semi-finals of the World Cup.


Still cheering out loud,
THE LOVELY KEIRA
