It's been a while, for sure. Today is July 4th, and I am here at home around 9pm. Why am I not out watching fireworks, you ask? Because I have to be up at 5am to go to work tomorrow. :) However, there are firecrackers that neighbors and the like are setting off. They, in turn, are setting off my dog.
Yes, I adopted a doggy. Her name is Macy (as in Nordstrom's). That's her and I in the picture. She is a wonderful dog. Her story is a sad one. Someone found her and her 6 puppies abandoned on the side of the road. The people who found her took her to an animal rescue and, as the norm would have it, people came to the rescue and adopted the puppies, but no one wanted the mommy. So I adopted the mommy. She is amazing. She was fully trained already. Sits, stays, rolls over, fetches, HOUSEBROKEN! That anyone would have simply abandoned her breaks my heart. She looks like a rottwiller but she is actually half rottweiller and half sheepdog according to my vet. She is my running partner and she can keep up for the entire 2 miles now. She keeps me safe!
I started my masters program at LA Tech (go bulldogs or something like that). That has been keeping me very busy along with work. Of course, work would keep me plenty busy without school, but what can I say, I am a glutton for punishment. If I play my cards right, I can actually finish this degree in 2 years. So I will be done before my next assignment. Whoo hoo!
It is my intention to update more often! Happy 4th everyone!
