It’s a Dog Eat Dog World Out There

Well the secret is out. I would like to introduce my new puppy Sydney! We have had her almost two weeks now! We wanted to wait and see if she would work with our little zoo before we announced it to the world. And she is for sure here to stay!

She is a Staffordshire bull terrier, hound, whippet,lab mix. Really she is just a all American mutt. And she sure is a gem! Although we have only had her a short while I am already in love with this little girl. We got her from a lady who was training her to be a seizure alert dog. And she did not make the cut. The lady meant well but if she did not find her a home she would have taken her to the pound. So she came home with us!

She certainly has been a blessing to me and is helping me get through some hard times. So I am really thankful to have her. She is such a goofball and makes me laugh constantly. She also loves the cats (a little too much). But they certainly do not care for her at all lol.

Anyway Kooper still has not gotten his new shoes yet. So we are keeping his work load light so he does not do anymore damage to his hoof. But we due have a date with a shoer hopefully next week. I have a silly goal. I want to have him riding by Halloween because on that day there is a playday. And I really want to ride him in it. I know this sounds like a bad idea. But we shall see how that goes. I did get on him yesterday and he was so calm. So i have hope...

I ended up going to that job interview for that other pet store. I think it went really well and I enjoyed talking to the manager. I am still waiting for a call back though. Its been a few days so I am getting pretty nervous about it as I need money very badly. When I had to send Fen to greener pastures I blew through my savings account to do that whole process. Doing the right thing is definitely not cheap. I still miss him so much! I think it will be that way for a while though…

And on top of that I am horribly homesick still. Part of me thinks that I will never get over it and that my heart will always be in southern CA. Sometimes I think if I should have through about it some more before I did the big move. I think I may have jumped the gun a little bit. Robby had his heart set on moving out here so badly. What could I have done. He said he had nothing to lose since he didn’t have many friends down there and since his parents live up here. Well I certainly had a lot to lose…. And I’m living with my choice every day. I love Robby to death. But did I put love before my own sanity?

I hope that Ill get a grip on my reality soon…



Oh and here is a picture of little miss Sydney!
