Spring has definitely sprung
I know the official start to spring is tomorrow, but by the looks of the shelter, and the increasing population, I'd swear it's been here for weeks.
As of today, we have 20, yes 20, puppies under 3 weeks of age. They're SO CUTE!!! All but 8 are orphans, so I get to spend quite a bit of my day bottle feeding the little ones.
Also, as of 930 this morning, we have 5 new baby kittens. We've had their mommy for about a week, and she had her little ones over the span of a few hours. All of the babies are solid black, and oh so cute.
We have one other pregnant kitty right now, and she should be due any day.
So... people have your pets spayed or neutered. There's no way there is enough homes for all of these babies. Yes, they're cute. But everyone that adopts a baby ISN'T adopting a just-as-worthy adult.
Oh, and Ace's brother and sister-in-law had their baby this morning. Baby Brock was born just after 730 today.
Yup, definitely spring. Lots of babies. Cute, cute, cute babies.
I'm a bad blogger
So nearly two weeks since my last post, and I still can't think of a thing to write.
Everything's going really well, we're almost all settled in to the new hacienda. I love it here. I always heard that owning just feels different than renting, and they were right. This really feels like home. And I feel like an adult. EEEK!!!!
Let's see, what's happened.
I've been taking care of patients lately. Some of the stuff I've seen... dang. I'm at the county hospital, so we get the people that are hurt or get sick in jail, we get the homeless, the poor, the people that most never see. They people really seem to appreciate a soft touch and a warm smile. I mean REALLY appreciate it. It makes me feel like I'm doing something to help.
So far I've worked on the general surgery floor and the cardiac floor. Next is the cancer floor. I have a feeling that is where I'll stay. Anyway, I'm loving the new job. It has really renewed me. I didn't realize the rut that I had fallen into. Well maybe I did, I just was too chicken to get out of it.
I went and visited the old job last week so I could pick up my Girl Scout cookies that I had ordered. It was nice to see everyone again, but I have definitely moved on. I don't want to go back.
In other news, some vandals destroyed Ace's car. I mean destroyed it. This is so much worse than the blue paint incident of a year or so ago. Caved in roof, busted back glass, flattened tire, pretty much ruined. So right now it's sitting in our garage, awaiting a likely trip to the junk yard. So he and I are sharing. It's not so tough, but if we do it for long my car will just wear out. Between the two of us we have a lot of driving to do. So we'll just have to wait and see about all of that stuff.
Take care everybody, talk to you soon.
