I love my job. I know I say that so much, but I really do. I work with an amazing family who is so fun and easy to work with. It doesn't even feel like work, the kids are adorable and I love spending time with them! In the past couple weeks we have gone to the park, the Aquarium, Southtowne Mall (for the carousel,) Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point (they have tons of baby animals right now,) and the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum, (and it is so much fun!) I feel so blessed to have found a job that I enjoy and that makes me feel happy.
I went boating for the first time this year with my brother, sister, and dad, and I am so disappointed in myself! I could NOT get up on the slollum ski. It was so frustrating because in the past seven years I have NEVER had a problem getting up. Here's what I think it was; I did the wakeboard first and for a very long time. I got my arms tired, and I got used to popping right up. When you slollum, it takes a bit to get up, you have to let it pull you up. So, next time we go boating, I am going to slollum first!
Shane and I went to the midnight showing of The Avengers, and of course we thought it was awesome! Shane even went to it again the next day with his brother.
For the past eight years my family has had a miniature schnauzer named Dodger. Dodger had anxiety, so he was always, and I mean always, barking. He was also moody and snapped at you very easily. Besides that though, he was a good dog. I struggled a lot with different things, especially in high school, and when I felt most alone he was always there to cuddle with me and love me. He slept with me every night, and when I moved out, anytime I'd come visit he'd go hysterical loving me. I loved him more than most anything. In the past year Dodger's anxiety had become unbearable. He was hard for my family to live with and so they talked to a friend of ours, who is a vet, on what to do with him. He said that when you give a dog to a shelter, it traumatizes the dog and hurts him more than does him good. So after much thought, my parents felt it was best to put him down. They took him in Thursday and we all found out about it yesterday. It sucks, as losing pet always does, but it's ok because he's happier now than he was and well, all dogs go to heaven. I miss him a lot though, and can't wait until I get to see him again.
Our cruise is in less than a month, and I can't wait! That's all.
I almost cried reading the part about Dodger. :(
ReplyDeleteMy family was contemplating on giving up our mini schnauzer because we might not be able to keep him when we move. So we would have had to give him to pound and they would put him down.
I cried thinking about walking away from our precious Cooper knowing that he would be put down.
Luckily though, we found a house to rent that will let us keep him. :)
