The ways things seem to be panning out Pet Care will be available in the next...4-6 months.

I get a raise in April, at minimum it should put me at 9.35 @ 40 hours a week that's 374. I'm at 8.40 now and at the end of the week net 271, so based on what I take home if I make the 9.35 I'd bring home 298 a week. That'd help a considerable amount, even though it's just 20$ a week.

Now....if I get Pet Care, at minimum I would make 9.83 @ 45 a week, so that'd be 442, so based on the same rates I'd bring home 349. That would be almost 80 a week! That would make my life so, so, so much easier! Now....I could go anywhere over 9.83, that's just minimum. I've got a lot of experience in Pet Care, so I could even get 10.82...which would mean 384. So that's an extra 100 a week.

Please, whoever up there wants to listen to me right now, let this work out in my favor. It's about time I get something back from this job and actually get to be happy their again.

This is right.

Hazel's been at Rhonda's since Sunday night. In that time, I've been miserably alone.

Yeah, Ryan's here and everything....but it's not having the constant companion that Hazel provides for me, not the attentive and loving creature that she is. And I got her back tonight until Tomorrow night...or possibly Saturday Morning and it just feels so right having her back. I've missed her desperately.

She's whining in the crate at the moment because she'd much rather be sleeping next to me, but hell, if I can get her to go to bed and be okay right now I should be fine to get her to stay here. Ryan hates her barking and just...being a puppy. He doesn't like her getting into things and being a nuisance when he has her out of the crate when I'm not at home to babysit her.

And just as I've typed this, ignored her, told her she was good when she was quiet, she's layed down, stretched out, and is now silent. I love this damn puppy so fucking much it's not even funny!

it's probably my fault that she DOES bark so much when she does because I started off crating her and covering the crate. The cats would scratch at the invisible moving bit and that bothered her more. So we put her in the closet with the door partially closed and the cats started to leave her alone.

If in the two days she keeps this GOOD behavior up I'm going to tell Ryan to just deal with her being a puppy and let me keep her.
