A client called a few weeks ago and the following conversation occurred between said client and one of my employees. (Remember that I work at a boarding kennel for dogs and cats and not at a grocery store.) Client: Hi, do you sell carrots? Employee: Carrots? No. Client: Really? You don’t have carrots? Employee: No, [...]
If you’re the praying sort, baby Stellan could use your prayers. He has RSV (a respiratory virus) and his little body isn’t handling it well. Head over to MckMama’s blog for more details and for updates. Thanks!
While I was wasting time stumbling around the web searching for a new blog header (unsuccessfully, thus far) and downloading a trial of Photoshop, I came across something called “Project 365“. The basic premise seems to be that you take a picture (or save a memento) every day for a year. You can blog the [...]
When I closed my eyes to sleep last night, all I could hear was barking dogs. Barking, yipping, yowling, howling dogs. I think I’ve spent too much time at work recently. Since we don’t have a whole lot of dogs for tomorrow morning, I managed to “get out” of working. I don’t have to be [...]
I hope you are all having a Merry Christmas. All snug and warm inside, enjoying the lights, Christmas cookies, and most of all, fellowship with family (and friends). We’re essentially “done” with Christmas here. Last week, we spent five days with Weatherman’s family (they live about six hours away from us) and yesterday we had [...]
Posting may be scarce (or non-existent) until after the weekend. Good-looking Weatherman and I are heading out to see his family for an early Christmas.

My goofy dog thinks snow, cold, and windchill values in the negative double-digits are fantastic. I took her outside tonight and she was bouncing around and oh-so-excited with the snow and ice. What a nut. Sorry, no pictures – I wanted to get back in sooner rather than later.
I’ve been doing some research on graduate programs for my husband and came across a website that lists average wages for my state. It also lists fastest growing careers. Veterinary technician is on the list of fastest growing careers in my state: growth is at 43.8% and the number of projected annual job openings (in [...]
I am DONE with school for the semester! I just finished my last test about 10 minutes ago. The fact that I have no homework or studying for an entire month hasn’t really hit me yet. It’s so nice to be done, though. No more finals to take, tests to study for, weekly assignments to [...]
Hey, I came across your blog while searching for vet tech info. I was wondering how much your vet tech schooling is? I’m trying to decide whether or not I should go to vet tech school. There are only 2 options in my area and both cost 30 grand and take 16 months. That price [...]
