Had 3 dog training sessions and evaluated a new client today.

Session 1: a mildly human aggressive pit/sharpei mix I've been working with for a month.

Session 2: a st Bernard, fila braziana mastiff, and a French bulldog whose owners are being sued for their dogs getting out of the gate the lawn guy left open and the mastiff bit the neighbor after she kickedit as hard as she could. Yeah don't ask I'm livid.

Session 3: cutest 8 week old bulldog ever. Very high prey drive, very dominant, very high energy, and very uneducated owners.

Evaluation: newly adopted 1 year old male husky who was stray and may not have ever been owned by a family. Food aggressive, severely dominant, no idea about boundaries, fights thebleash, and very unsocialized with people. Took them on for 3 months paid in full after I got bit challenging the dog. I still fucking followed through though and had the dog following me off leash calmly within 10 minutes of challenging him.

Doesn't sound like a lot but. Was out of my house from 11am to 10pm for all that. Small break during which my apprentice and I came to the house to eat and start organizing all of our paperwork.

That's client #8 taken on THIS MONTH. I'm so happy

Evaluation 1: Bought two Society Finchs. Adorable little creatures with cute little sounds.
Session 1: Society Finchs had healthy sex.
Session 2: Little baby finch was born.
Session 3: Little baby finch escaped.
Session 4: Cats devoured baby finch.

Sorry, not the ending I was expecting either. :(

Awwww....... ;o(

Anthem. That is great
Okie. That is sad

And a plain old eye roll for something I read elsewhere - why people, just why?

Planning a trip for next month :-)
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....I'll try.

Ooh..where to MsViv? A trip sounds nice! I am going on a road trip next month to Farm Aid! Super stoked! It's pretty much a dream concert : )

MsViv, good for you, you could use some time away and..........you can, you can, you can!

No trying.....just do it! ;o)

anthem, did you see this on yahoo?
dog left on mountain for 8 days, hikers find it and get a rescue team together to bring it back.

Big cheers for Anthem and Viv!

Okie, that's a tragic story. I have one as well:

!: Pet flying squirrels have healthy sex.
2. Have 2 babies.
3. Father flying squirrel eats one of his own children.
4. Father flying squirrel gets put in solitary confinement so as to prevent eating of his other child.

just went and met with the first school on my list about nursing stuff. man, if i decide to go through with it, its gonna be expensive!

Des, I'm not sure about your finicial status but you could look into financial aid to help you through schooling if you decide to go. It can be a life saver!

whyme-----------oh trust, i already talked to someone about financial aid. lol. luckily, i qualify for a pell grant also. that will cover a third of it. but there is still going to be a lot of student loan debt to pay of if i do it.

A little at a time Des..It's a reputable school right? Recently saw a big story about the "for profit colleges - the first thing they talk about is pell grants...

I am going to find the article and send it to you..
Did you complete a FASFA application?

My girlfriend dumped me over stupid BULLSHIT. Then Nathan said he'd take me back and I cried because I realized what I gave up to be with her, and that was a loving understanding person. She couldn't understand that I sexually harass my best friend/sister because that's how we joke, where as Nate also sexually harasses her along side me. So really I don't need that girl, she can rot in hell.

Wow, Recon, that all happened very fast! I hope you and Nathan can grow together as a couple. He does sound very understanding!
