Okay, when it rains it pours right? Approximately one million things have happened since my last entry. I think I'll just give some highlights. Lets see. Well first of all Baxter didn't get adopted by that family that was interested in him. They felt that he shedded too much and the mom has dog allergies...so they adopted a greyhound puppy. I ( Read more... )

Okay, so Saturday was Zeke bath day and I found this goopy spot on him. It was like a greenish goop and I thought it might be from his frontline because I had just applied it a few days ago. But it didn't come out in his bath, so I looked closer and cleaned it up and he had a pretty big sore on his side. His eyes were a little gooey too, so I ( Read more... )

So, last Thursday, the 11th, Dr. Griffiths the CEO of Spectrum Human Services (the umbrella agency for which I intern) asked to meet with me. He said that he wanted me to fill an interim position at Elliot, one of Spectrum's Juvenile Detention Facilities. I would be doing the job of the Head Clinical Case Manager. He said that he thought a ( Read more... )

Okay, got a new foster puppy tonight. His name is Baxter. He is a 2 1/2 year old Australian Sheepdog. He is 42 lbs and short haired. He is blackish/gray and white. I like him alot. Took him for a walk and he tried to jump into the lake. He was a little greasy and stinky and shedding a lot so I wanted to give him a bath. He got into the ( Read more... )

Hey all! It's been awhile! I was able to go to my parents for the weekend, which is always good. I saw my grandparents on Saturday and my Aunt Diane for a couple of hours. I haven't seen them since around June 5th, so it was REALLY good to catch up! I spent the rest of the weekend and I really mean the whole rest of the weekend down at the ( Read more... )

Spotty got adopted tonight! Yay for him! I like his new parents and I think he does too!

Okay, so this morning I woke up feeling TERRIBLE! My tummy hurt and was grumbly and my head hurt--allergies and drainage...yuck. So I ate some dry cereal to straighten my tummy out and went back to bed. I woke up feeling MUCH better. I got a lot of work done today and spent some time with Zeke and Spotty. Yay ( Read more... )

Got a new foster dog tonight. He is a 35lb terrier mix. He is a lot smaller than Lola, but he weighs more. He is really cute in person and just very loving. He also seems really smart. He came from a family who ran into financial hardships and had to move to an apartment that didn't allow pets. He is housetrained and I have found that he ( Read more... )

Okay, so last night at about 11:30pm I got a text message from my ex saying "we should get together sometime". My first response is a horrible gut feeling of "uh oh, what now". I feel nervous and uncomfortable. The last time I heard from him was 6 months ago and he thought I had been calling him and hanging up for the past year...I hadn't by the ( Read more... )
