Work News.....
1) My staff pharmacist got hit by a car. Like and F-150. She lived, but broke her pelvis, shoulder, every rib and more. So she was out, suddenly, for about 6 months. Oh and we have no extra pharmacists to help cover her hours.
2) My other staff pharmacist quit 2 weeks after that. Yeah, ok so still no extra pharmacists.
3) The pharmacy manager at another store went on maternity leave, and I somehow got volunteered by my district manager to manage both stores at once.
4) Because of the above 3 reasons, I went from working 72 hours a pay period to about 110 hours a pay period. The money was nice, but all the extra stress and hours sucked!
Dog News....
1) Tiki didn't work out like I would have liked. He and I just didn't fit and his bite went off and he could no longer be shown. So he found a new home, where he is super loved and spoiled rotten.
2) Stitch fathered another litter of mini bull puppies and I took a black tri puppy back. Named her Cinderella. She had Stitch's head, movement and personality to spare.
3) Cinder also didn't turn out, and even though I loved her, she drove me nuts. So she found a new home also, where she is the most spoiled mini bull ever! I mean seriously, she couldn't be more spoiled!
4) Stitch got another Group 1 placment at the Roseburg dog show. He was looked at for best in show, but there were a lot of nice dogs and he didn't win. Oh well, it was very exciting cause his breeder was there and we had a ton of people cheering for him!
5)Mini bull nationals happened in California. Took both Toby and Stitch to the show. It was nationals, and 2 parents shows with just mini bulls! Stitch got Awards of Merit at all 3 shows. Toby however took the cake. At the national he won Winners Dog and got a 5 point major out of the 6-9 month puppy class, and then he won Best of Opposite Sex at the nationals!!! That is a HUGE deal! I was on could 9 for a while over that one! He also won Winners Dog the next day for another major! It was a very good weekend.
6) Toby earned his championship title in 4 weekends of showing! So in November he became Ch. Gandalf's Didgeridoo calls for Adventures! Now I am just letting him grow up and mature and next year he will come out as the next special.
7) Got a new aussie puppy named Diamondhill Pete's Dragon Adventures. Elliott for short! He is so cute, adorable and very laid back. He and Toby are best friends and they play and play and play. He just turned 6 months and went to St. Louis with my friend Jackie for the Aussie national. He made the cut in his class of 14 6-9 puppies, which is a big deal. The judge really stared at him and liked him, but there were a lot of nice puppies.
8) Bought a customized Chevy cargo van that is all set up with air and etc for the dogs. It will be much nicer to travel in. But if you come to the house and see a giant white creeper van parked on the side, rest assured it is just the dog van and it is safe to come in!!
News about me.....
1) I worked my little brains out and got a little fried! Glad to finallyhave everyone back at work and a new assistant manager to help me out!
2) I left the singles ward (or they may have nicely shuffled me) to my family ward. Of which I was calling free for about 2 months, and was then put in as the nursery leader! I have 14 children to run after each Sunday and right now we have church from 3-6pm. Oye! I hate that! I can't wait to get back to a normal time. The poor kids are just so tired at the end of every day!
3) My best friend Penny finally moved back from Utah! It's about time! It is nice to have her back around to hang with!
4) She talked me into doing a cruise this spring! Ahhh and it was heavenly! I loved every second of it. I will post more about that later. I have so many pictures it wasn't even funny! Penny and I went with our friends Debbi and Karen. We had a great time and I really wish I could still be there. It's ok. Gonna have to go another day!
Well that should about bring you up to speed. It seems like a lot more happened during that time then I really thought. To be honest life was so hectic I was sort of in survival mode. Sorry I didn't update sooner. But this should at least bring you to speed. I will work on a cruise post next.
