Farewell

So I gave Dustin to a co-worker who just moved into a bigger house in San Leandro with a nice yard for him to play in. I took him over to meet her and her husband, and her husband loved him, and wanted him right then and there. I left him there last night, and I called to check on him and he is doing great, Judy said he absolutely adores Ralph. The good thing is that once he gets settled I will still be able to see him on occasion. It just sucks that I wasn't able to give him what he needed. I did do what was best for him though and that is what matters, right? : (

Meagan made it to Mississippi yesterday. I am sad she is far away again, but she is finally in the same place as her hubby so I am also happy for her.

update

Ok so I know it has been awhile since I have posted. I thought it was time for an update on my life happenings.

I really don't like my new job. It is just mindless work, and I feel that I need to be challenged everyday. I spend a good 2-3 hours stuffing envelopes and processing mail. The other time is usually spent doing whatever my boss asks me to do.

I have decided to pursue a career in law enforcement since that is what my degree is in. I have applied for Police Dispatcher for the City of Walnut Creek, and I also just took a test for Alcoholic Beverage Control Investigator, and I find out in 2 months if I will be placed in 1 of 25 different locations throughout California. i didn't know it was for all over, and Tony really won't want to move, but I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it. I am not doing long distance so if he doesn't move with me (if I have to move) then we may be done. I mean I am just trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario.

On a different note, I have to find a new home for my dog Dustin. He snapped at a man at the lady who fostered him's house last week. She had never seen him do that, though he did do it two other times, so not that it is good that it happened, but at least now she believes me. We have to find him a home with no kids and someone who is less social than me with a yard, as he doesn't do well with strangers. Obviously something happened to him in the past that we don't know about. There is a shelter in utah that is on a ranch we can send him to if all else fails, they don't kill there, and he would have plenty of room to run.

I got a kitten for Snapple because she needs someone to keep her company. I wasn't planning to get one till I found a home for Dustin, but she was just too cute. I named her Izzie and she is white with gray on her ears. Dustin loves her, and Snapple is afraid of her haha.
