At last
Sorry, I know some of you have been asking how the new job is and it's taken me until now to post. I usually come home so dead tired and brain dead I flop down on the couch and do nothing. I haven't gotten up before 10am on a day off since starting the new job either. I love the job so far; I'm still in training and will be for the next 3-4 weeks. I did have to work at my own store one day and ended up being there from 10am-11pm. It is mass chaos and going to need so much work it's not even funny. I will have my work cut out for me and lots of long hours.
Seeing dogs and cats everyday just gives me the spring in my step every other job I have ever had was missing. I can see myself getting to a point where I run a doggie daycare for a career and loving it. I would also love to be a dog trainer. But for now I will soak up every bit of I can to learn to be better with animals.
I have seen lots of dogs, some cats and even a hedgehog. This past Saturday I got to see my first two corgis and am happy to report one gave me kisses.
Of course I have dealt with some pissed off people and some very sad people already. I have seen 3-4 parvo cases and seen a couple dogs have to be put down. I know that's part of the business, but it will never get easier.
I have played, been peed on, gotten kisses and I'm still in training. Soon I will be at my own store and building relationships with the regulars and the job will be even better. There will even be days I can take my own kids to work with me if it's slow or I need some quick vet care.
I have even found myself coming home just wanting to sit on the floor and play with my kids or pet them.
The hubby and I have managed to catch a few movies in our little time together. We have seen Grindhouse and yesterday we saw Hot Fuzz. Both good stuff!
Ok, I have forgotten anything else I planned on blogging right now so I think that means I'm done. Later.

I am so excited for you, it sounds like a perfect fit. When you love your job, the long hours just don't matter. :)
Keep up the good work, we'll bring our kids to your store some day. ;)
I so happy for you. I wish I could bring the pup to work with me. I think you found your niche.
Congrats again, C.
