Happy Anniversary...

Today marks my 8th wedding anniversary.  Needless to say, it isn't the happiest of days for me at this point.  But I am pressing forward.  I have sent a number of resumes to Michigan, and am hoping that one of them finds its way into the right hands.  I am actively looking for a home there; the fact that I still don't know where I'll be working is obviously hindering that process somewhat.  It would make no sense for me to live in Holly if I'm working in, say, Saginaw.  The drive alone would "drive" me nuts.  See what I did there?

Oh, and a bit of good news...one of my dogs, Kiska, is coming back to me.  On the day of her surrender, she bit the director of the shelter.  Not good.  She was terrified, of course, but that doesn't matter.  She got 10 days in bite quarantine for that little maneuver, but because of who I am and my relationship with the shelter I'm able to retrieve her.  I pick her up on Thursday, so I'm looking forward to that.  It may take quite a few treats for her to trust me again, but that's a risk I'll just have to take.  I have to start socializing her as well, so we're going to be taking some weekend excursions to parks, etc.  She'll wear a muzzle (the soft kind) to ensure safety of others, but at least she has a chance.  The other six are all adjusting very well...leash training, spays, neuters and vetting is complete to include vaccinations.  They're all going to a rescue organization together, which is completely awesome, and really more than I could have ever hoped for or accomplished on my own.  I have the Friendship APL to thank for that.

Well, I should probably get back to work...have a good day :)
