We're leaving today! I couldn't be more excited! That's why I'm up at 10:30am and can't sleep anymore. We're supposed to be trying to sleep as much as possible today because we're leaving around 9pm tonight and driving through the night. We decided that we'd leave a day early and take 75 down to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It's free and ( Read more... )

I know a lot of you love Gibson. So I thought I'd let you know he has a bladder tumor and that's why he's been peeing blood. There is really only two options. Surgery and ignoring it. I'm probably going to go for the surgery. I want my baby healthy. So it looks like no great dane puppy for us for a while because we'll have to save up for the ( Read more... )

I feel like I've kind of dropped off the face of the earth with this new job. I mean I still see some people occasionally, but I guess that's what actually working 40 hour weeks is about? So if I don't call you, I'm sorry. I still love you in that purely platonic way ( Read more... )

It's been awhile... but I'm still alive. Barely. I've worked about 7am-4pm Mon-Friday this week. I actually have Saturday off this week, you can bet your ass I'm sleeping in. Seeing as it's already 4:30 am. But I work Sunday 7am-4pm and then Mon-Wed. 7-4pm. Thursday and Friday I only work half days, but it's still hell. I love my job and all, but I ( Read more... )

This week is my last easy week of work. I like to think of it as my training still, although yesterday I pretty much kicked butt for it being my second day working in the kennels. Last week I groomed on Thursday/Friday. I did the grossest cocker spaniel, Lady. She had scabs that I had to shave under and her ears were swelled shut. (her owner has ( Read more... )

So this week is the start of me having an actual full time job. Working as close to 40 hours a week as possible. Should be interesting. I've worked 3 jobs at once before, so this shouldn't be difficult. But I haven't done it in a while and I'm used to going to bed between 1 and 2am. That won't be happening anymore because I have to be to work by ( Read more... )

Well at least that's what it sounds like. I went in for my 2nd interview today and either Thursday or Friday I'm going in to sign papers and what not. It's at Waverly Animal Hospital and I'll be doing a bit of grooming and probably working in the kennel a bit too. It sounds like they're trying to still figure things out, like where in the building ( Read more... )

Well last Friday I went out to Wag'n Tails and Waverly Vet Clinic to turn in my resume. By Friday night I had set up an interview with Waverly and by Saturday night I had set up one with Wag'n Tails. Both for Monday ( Read more... )

I probably should've just started a new post. But I really feel like my angry post wasn't necessary at all. When I wrote it, I was in the mad/sad stage of finding out bad news. You know how they say there are stages to getting bad news. First one is sadness, second is anger, third is revenge and forth is acceptance. Maybe not in that order, but ( Read more... )

It's official. I'm allergic to egg. Phew I'm glad I figured that one out (can you taste the sarcasm?) Went in to have a prick test done 2 weeks ago, the egg sample was too deluted so it didn't really confirm anything then. But today I brought an actual egg in with me and they tested me with egg white and egg yolk and sure enough my arm looked like ( Read more... )
