Human/Animal Bond

The human/animal bond will always be something that amazes me. Working with animals every day allows me to see this up close. The affection an animal holds for it's owner and vise versa is simply something special. We had another euthanasia today, the absolute worst part of my job, a golden retriever with cancer....every part of me ached for them...I've been there. I sit here in tears remembering my Sage. She was the most loyal dog you could ask for. She knew I'd saved her and the love she showed was completely unconditional. I know have another golden, Cassia, who shows this same love and devotion. I've often compared this love in my mind to the love Abba has for us and what we should have for him, he did save us after all. Now that can be a challenge as we all now, but it is never a challenge for our Great Big God. As I'm tossed by the storms raging in my life I feel as though God has manifested his love for us in the creatures He has placed in our care. I am so thankful for them. I think I'll go hug a puppy, the absolute best part of my job.

Exhausted is not even the word for what I'm feeling...

So I have been totally overwhelmed by this weekend... Tomorrow will be my first time leading the Auxiliary...I am truely humbled by being a part of this group let alone being President. I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to sit down and even begin to say what I'm feeling and yet it seems to come tumbling out of me a the strangest times. I get to speak again tomorrow at the convention. I am excited but almost too exhausted to care. I twittered that exhausted does not begin to cover how I'm feeling right now and I still have to put on a suit and high heels and do it one more day. A few hours and things go back to the relative normal. We'll see what the week brings. Sleep is way past due for this body.

Pre-Christmas Craziness

So we finally are ready for Christmas....kinda...I've baked cookies, note the time, I'm still baking after Midnight, yes I have to work in the morning. We are putting a 3 foot tree up instead of a 7 foot tree because we can't figure out how to fit a large one in our living room and still fit people and not have the tree knocked over by wrestling dogs or climbing cats. Ah well it will be a fun Christmas Eve and day with the family no matter the surroundings. Ooops the buzzer is ringing on the next batch of cookies. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Rough Day

Today has been a rough day. We were super short staffed at work. I pulled double duty in the front as well. I did get a break to go see Treah play football. The Indians won out over Buckeye Valley. Treah did a lot of running in and out with the play calls.
I've felt kinda lost since the pizza shop closed. I guess you could say making pizza was my hobby and now it's not there anymore. I don't think I could ever work a "real" job doing it but it was a good no brainer activity for me.
Hopefully I'll sleep through the night tonight. I've not been getting good night's sleep with all the stress of well ,this summer I guess. I'm looking forward to the weekend to get some extra rest.
