Dogs Update
So, Penny got a new coat for winter. A nice brown suede and fleece one - no, I didn't buy it. It was donated to me last year, and I thought of just giving it to the shop, because I've never put my Chihuahua in clothing, except for at Halloween when I dressed her up in a Witch costume. That was cute. :) Usually she actually does just fine in colder weather, (not like she's outside for very long anyway) but this morning was just WAY too cold... everything had frost on it... it was like almost a burning cold this morning. So I can justify Penny wearing a coat.

More about Penny behind the Cut. )

Mojo is also doing well. He adjusted to the new place within a day, and now that we actually have a fully fenced in yard,(and it's a pretty damn big yard, to boot!) he can run his fool head off as much as he likes. :-P The upstairs is also much quieter, since it's a completely separate suite from the lower level, so I don't have to worry about the boys not being careful about leaving the front door open, and Mo getting loose again. It is NOT fun trying to chase him down!

As soon as I can edit it down a bit, I'll see about getting those dog vids up onto YouTube sometime soon.

Bye-bye Paycheck
Got paid yesterday. Isn't it funny how you know exactly where all of that money's gonna go, all in about a day?


My portion of rent and utility bills: $235

Cell phone bill: $137

Public transit pass for the month of December: $136

Groceries to last the month of December: $100

35 pound bag of puppy food: $50


I now have $3.00 to my name, but I feel great knowing that everything's taken care of. I also got approved for that consolidation loan that I applied for a few weeks back, which is AWESOME! So now my two credit cards and my line of credit can all be paid up in one lump sum each month, with a lower interest rate. I have to pay $550 on the 16th of every month (which beats the $700-$800 I was paying before!). So basically I'll be reserving every paycheck I get on the 15th of the month to my consolidation loan, and whatever extra cash is left over from that paycheck I'm going to put in a tax-free savings account, which I'm going to open in the New Year.

I've also got a few training and boarding gigs lined up this month. Started working with a 12 week old German Shepherd puppy last Sunday, and this Sunday I'm supposed to be working with a 4 month old Golden Retriever. I'll also be boarding a 14 week old Cockapoo puppy over Christmas and New Year's, which is a $600 job right there. I am so thrilled... this bit of extra work is really going to help me out, along with the consolidation loan, I can finally start to breath a little easier now. Hopefully I'll soon be able to pay back a couple friends who I owe some money to as well.

*sighs* There seems to be no end of stress when you're living from paycheck to paycheck. But honestly, even if I don't have any money right now, at least I'm still happy to have a roof over my head and a ton of new groceries, so I can start cooking meals again! If there's one thing I hate, it's going hungry.

*munches on an apple*

Trippy
So I'm sick...got some kind of bug that put me out of commission for most of yesterday. Feeling slightly better today, and I'm now at work, though I should probably be home resting, but I can't afford to miss too many days. Cold medication's also been trippin' me out all morning... started hallucinating on the skytrain this morning, and everything seems to be going much slower than it really is, like some sort of delayed time reaction. Weird.

I also thought of something today. I noticed that the two songs, "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors, and "Part of Your World" from Disney's The Little Mermaid, are pretty similar. Tried playing them both at once, and it was interesting. :)

That is all.

Interesting Article About Reservation Dogs
Found an interesting article on reservation dogs that I thought I'd share. It's a different point of view on the matter. I don't necessarily agree with how rez dogs are cared for per say, but it is a different culture. *shrugs* I do wish that more of these dogs would get spayed and neutered at the very least, to stop the over-population problem, since most of these animals end up dead from malnurishment, disease, human abuse, etc. Unfortunately this is just life for these dogs, and I know that we can't save them all.

Life
Well, got things all wrapped up with the creditor today. Found out that I had a joint Capital One account with my Mom, and so was able to transfer the balance of the owed Vancity Visa onto that card.

So, good news is that they are now closing my case file, no bad credit report is going to be filed against me, and my credit will not be ruined for the next 6 years and I won't have to file for bankruptsy. Bad news is that I now have to slowly pay off that debt of $3,500 (plus interest) that isn't even mine.

Tried emailing the hubby explaining what happened, and basically said (as politely as I could...) that I expect him to pay me back the debt in full, within a reasonable time period, when he can manage it, (because I know he's been without work for a while now) otherwise I'll have to get a lawyer and take this to court.

Haven't heard anything back from him yet. Don't know if he didn't get my email, or if he's just avoiding contacting me, which is the whole reason why things got this bad to begin with - because he's been avoiding any kind of contact with me and not cooperating with dealing with important legal matters that NEED to be dealt with. The rare time I actually did get any kind of message back from him, he's now talking about himself in the third-person and not even admiting to being himself anymore... like he's got some kind of multiple personality disorder thing going on.

This is sooo going to complicate our divorce even more. X____x I just want everything to be dealt with in a sane and rational manner... that's all I've ever asked for. *sighs*

...

In other news, we started moving a bunch of stuff into the new house last night, and should be fully moved in by the 14th. I'm very excited about the new house! :3 It's big, and we can actually make it look pretty!!

I've also been checking out cources for Security training. When I have the money again (ha...) I'm going to take my BST1 and BST2, since they're the prerequisites to becoming a K9 Security handler. Might as well try to get the ball rolling with it, and the BST1 course I can take online so that I don't have to take a full week off work and lose money. :-P

Yay for stuff.

I Wonder If They Know...?
Jango took a trip to the vet's today for surgery. One of his testicles never dropped, so he's having it removed so it doesn't become a cancer risk in the future. He'll take a bit of time to recover, since the surgery will be more like a spay than a standard neuter on a dog. So no roughhousing with Tobi for a while.

I brought him in originally because I notice a viral papilloma growth on his lip. As long as he's under anesthetic, they're going to remove it, as well as X-ray his hips (since I was going to have his hips checked eventually anyway, might as well do it all in one shot while he's out).

He was so scared at the vet today, he tried climbing on top of the window ledge of the exam room! Normally he is unusually happy to go to the vet, and gives bumwiggles and kisses to everyone, but today he was scared of Dr. Chuang! Makes me wonder if they know when they're about to have surgery done. :-P Poor pup. He'll be fine. What a big baby, though.

In other news, I may be doing some in-home boarding and training for a 10-week-old German Shepherd puppy, for one week. It's cool to be able to take care of other people's puppies, and get paid for it. :3 I would love to get into specialty training for working breeds. It's a long-term goal for me to think about.

I Hate My Life Right Now...
A crisis has come up suddenly (such seems to be the story of my life lately...).

Got called yesterday by a creditor, saying I owe $3,500 (roughly) on a business visa that used to be a joint account of mine and my very-soon-to-be ex husband. Apparently they can't find his information on the account, and they're saying that I'm the primary one on the account. Not sure how that's the case, but I do know that it was my husband's responsibility to have taken care of paying off the remaining debt, when the accounts were (supposedly) transferred into his name last fall. I guess that didn't happen after all, if the creditors are calling me now, because they can't get ahold of him.

I can't afford to pay off his debt, as I can barely afford to pay off my own credit cards with my bank, and I just applied for a consolidation loan today, actually.

The thing that makes this whole situation so crappy is that I only have until 2:30pm this Friday to pay the remaining balance, or my credit will be fucked for the next 6 years. Which means that I can kiss this consolidation loan goodbye, and I can't do anything like rent a new place, buy a car, start a business, etc. for the next 6 years.

I may be looking into filing for bankruptcy in the very near future. If that happens as a result of my having to take the hit for my husband's debt, I am so getting a lawyer.

...

Oh yeah, I also have to move AGAIN, because our current landlord is selling the place we're renting right now. Thankfully we have a new place lined up already for Nov. 1st, (that was another HUGE load of stress to deal with yesterday, in itself...) but my god, my brain feels like it's going to explode right now.

So stressed.

So Conflicted...
So, imagine that you've spent a good while really wanting something, but it's one of those things that you know is very, very unlikely to ever happen. It's more just like a nice fantasy - cool to think about, but you never really get too disappointed, because you have no expectations of it ever coming true anyway. You're just content to think, "Well, maybe one day this would be really nice to have." Like winning a fortune in the lottery, or buying that nice big dream home.

Apparently I now have access to something that's been a fantasy of mine for a little over a year now, and my reaction to hearing the news was not what I expected. Most people would do a happy dance. I just kind of sat there, blankly staring at nothing as a bunch of mixed thoughts and emotions suddenly came flooding through me.

The stupid thing is that I almost came to the conclusion that I didn't want this thing anymore. It had been just a hope for so long, that I pretty much chalked it up to Never-Gonna-Happen status, and I just accepted that.

Now I feel more like a cat than a canine:

*paws at the door* "I want inside!!"

*owner opens the door* "Okay, come on inside."

*cat sits there* "No thanks, I'll just stay out here."

WTF? O___o

I don't know what I want anymore, or what to think right now...

So conflicted... *ears flatten*


EDIT

Solo the Beagle is determined that he's going to get up onto my lap this morning, though I keep telling him he's too big for that. We somehow managed to make it work, and now I have a plump little Beagle in my arms. Dogs are great for giving cuddles when you're feeling kinda down.

Ah, To Heck With It...
So, I'm gonna just forget about the whole donations thing... I mean, donations are still welcome, but the idea doesn't seem to be very popular at this time. I am still very grateful to those that helped, and I will continue to save up the funds in my Paypal account. I'm going to be accepting a FEW emergency commissions to raise some money. Might even put some art up on Furbid soon. Also picking up a second job at the end of this month, so hopefully I will be able to afford the shipping soon.

...

In other news, I somehow managed to avert another crisis yesterday, after Jango swallowed a plush duck toy whole right before my eyes!! He was like a snake! The toy was about the size of a tennis ball. I ran him to my vet, who works 10 minutes down the road from my work, and they pumped him full of charcoal, to make him vomit the toy up. Thankfully he threw it up that same night (well, morning... at like 1am, right as I got into bed). He's fine now, didn't even phase him a bit, and I avoided a $500 surgery! :-P

Last night was a much needed evening of fun and relaxation. Lace and P-Dawg treated Torwin and I to dinner, with Affinity and another friend of theirs who's name I totally can't remember right now, (sorry!) but he owns the Halo Kitty suit! We went to this little hidden place called Salt, that is a neat, and surprisingly posh little wine and cheese tasting bar in Gastown. It was very cool, and I got very drunk. It was fun. :3

Well, back to work I go.

It's Been a Busy Couple of Weeks!
Wow!! What a busy couple of weeks that just flew by!

Well, first thing's first! That Pit Bull that we had found DID get reunited with her family, after only three days. :) Her owners found one of the posters I had put out, on the front window of our shop. She managed to slip out of their back door, and out of her collar somehow. The owners look to be in their late 40's or so, kind of shady-looking at first impression, but the lady was in tears when she saw her dog, and she definitely looked well cared for, so I felt happy for them. Apparently the dog was only 9 months old!! She had just come out of her first heat, and wasn't spayed, and the owners were actually worried that someone might have stolen her for breeding. So they're going to be bringing her to the vet to get tattooed, and hopefully spayed as well.


I retook my driver's knowledge test a little over a week ago, (because it expired before I could get my "N") and got 100% on it (whoo!). They gave me a travel mug as a gift, since it's a rarity that anyone ever gets 100% on the test. :-P Also, because I've already had my "L" for two years, I can pretty much take my "N" driver's road test whenever I feel I'm ready for it. So, all I gotta do now is start driving! Practice, practice, practice! Hopefully I'll actually be able to get a car within the next year or two.


Blue's back in Vancouver!! Even more exciting, she got an apartment, after only being here for a week and a half! The place isn't too bad either, and the Landlady is very nice. :) We'll be helping her move in this weekend.


I'm getting back into SFX Makeup, for Rainfurrest's Zombie theme this year! I'll be offering to do gory gashes and gross things for the attending Furs, in just a couple of week's time. This will pretty much allow me to pay for the con, since I'm a bit tight on cashflow this month (work hours went down a bit drastically this month, but I may be picking up a second part-time obedience training job again at the end of this month).

Thanks to my friends for being my Guinea Pigs, (Blue, Ruggs, Keytone, Torwin, Damion, Lemony, and Meiki) and letting me practice, since I haven't opened up my makeup kit since I was in school, back in 2003! O___o

Things in general have been going fine, just have been really busy. And now it's bedtime for this Wolfdog! :3 *Zzzzzzzzzz*

Update On Found Pit Bull
So, I'm calling her Honey, for now, since I don't know what her actual name is. It's better than calling her "That dog in the backyard."

I had a chance to take her for a good 40 minute walk tonight with Torwin, and did an assessment on her while we accompanied Jack to the Skytrain station. So far, she is looking pretty damn adoptable, if her owners don't claim her within a couple of weeks (I'm only giving them two weeks, as I really can't keep this dog... as sweet as she is, I have three as it is, and our landlord would have a cow if he knew we had a Pit Bull on his property). I'm very surprised that there have been no "Missing Dog" signs turning up yet. I've heard from someone I spoke with that they've seen this dog in the neighborhood before, and they suspect the owner lives somewhere on Kingsway. But I put out more posters, along the ally ways, and also an ad on Craigslist in Pets and Lost and Found. I also called the Vancouver SPCA and asked if anyone had reported a missing Pit Bull since Monday. Hopefully something positive will come up soon.

Her Assessment:

- Greets at the run with tailwags and excited snorts, and rolls over for belly rubs. Seems to be a pretty submissive dog, as she piddled herself a bit.

- No accidents in the run at all, ALL DAY. She's outside, so if she has to go and I'm not home yet to take her out, she can... but she held it all day and waited for me to take her out on a leash to go potty.

- Got her to Sit, Stay and Break for her food this morning, and tonight. She listens very well.

- Walks nicely on a leash (and prong collar). Needed to give a few corrections in the beginning, but she got the message real quick, and walked nicely at my side on a slack leash.

- We walked through the guard dog ally way, so I got to see her reaction to barking dogs. Anxious at first, and reacted as I suspected, by trying to lunge on the leash and barking at the other dogs behind the fences, but a few corrections on the collar with a "Leave it!" and lots of vocal cues got her attention away fairly quickly. So even under stress, it seems pretty easy to redirect her attention.

- When we neared the Skytrain station, Jack and Tor went up ahead quite a bit, and she was trying to pull me to keep up with them. I let the leash go slack so she had the full six feet, and then tried calling her away from them and back to me. Took her a bit, as she was a bit anxious to follow them, but she came back to me. Teaching her that no matter how far ahead they get, I want her to stay walking nicely beside me.

- At the station, after Jack left, Torwin got to give her a proper greeting. She sat very nicely in front of him with a waggy tail, and let him pet her. She's not a very kissy dog at all, mostly just butt-wiggly.

- On the way back home, we passed by two cyclists. The first one came by on her side, so I kept the leash loose, but short, and monitored her reaction. She seemed a bit stressed, ears perked, very attentive to the bicycle, but didn't try to lunge at it. When it passed, she calmly continued her walking pace. The second cyclist went by on her opposite side, and she barely took note of it at all.

- At one point Tor climbed on top of a high curb, or ledge, and started walking along it. Before that, she had been walking nicely between the two of us, but when Tor got up onto the ledge she turned her attention to him, ears perked... she seemed almost concerned that he was up there. She relaxed when he came back down again.

- Walking back along an ally way, a fast, loud car sped through a red light at a quiet intersection. She took very little notice of the car.

- On the way up the hill, getting closer to home, we saw three teenagers coming our direction, one was on a skateboard, zigzagging down the hill. Again, I kept a loose but short leash, and monitored her reaction. As the skater went by, she growled a very tiny bit, but mostly just stared with perked ears. Didn't try to lunge. The other two teens went by on foot, and she was focused on them for a bit, watching behind her back as we walked up the hill, but again I was able to redirect her with a "Leave it!" command, and ran a bit, which got her excited and happy, and she quickly forgot about the teens that had just passed by.

- Tor had one of those wind-up flashlights with him, and when he wound it up, it made a noise that get her interested and slightly excited. She jumped up a bit to investigate, tail wagging, but wasn't stressed by it. We also did a head-wave test, and she doesn't appear to be head shy, or freaked out by fast movements around her.

- Almost home, and Tor found a rock in the middle of the road. He picked it up and threw it into the grass. She lunged out and tried to chase it, but came back when I corrected her.

- Got her home, and put her back into the run for the night. She pretty much immediately got into the dog basket and curled up.

All in all, a very, very good assessment, I think. I'm not sure how much of it is her owners having worked with her, or her just being a really, REALLY good dog by nature, but she is very well behaved, and very adaptable and comfortable being handled by a perfect stranger. Either way, this dog will be back in a home soon, and is not destined for the Pound!

Current Mood: impressed

Stray Pit Bull!
So, I made a new friend today.

Stray Pit 01

More pics behind the cut. )

She was just hanging around the corner from work, near the patch of grass I normally take the Daycare dogs out to pee. I had one of our Daycare Beagles with me, when I turned the corner and saw our groomer there with her German Shepherd, looking very worried - and then I saw this Pit Bull. I asked Roxanne if it was a loose dog, or if there was actually an owner around, and she said it was loose, and she was obviously quite distressed as the dog was checking out her dog. Then the Pit saw me with the Beagle, and came over, and the first thing I thought was, "Crap! What if she tries to kill this Daycare client's dog!" Thankfully she was friendly, and just sniffed the dog I had curiously, and followed us a bit, when I decided to just turn around and casually walk back to the shop's entrance.

Then I thought, well... this dog's obviously somewhat socialized, and not attacking anyone... looks in good shape. It would have been totally wrong of me to just let a random Pit Bull continue to wander around the streets of Vancouver, with no collar or tags at all. So I called her to me, (she came over very happily) removed the leash I had on the daycare dog and just held her collar, so that I could use the leash as a noose to slip over the Pittie's head. She was totally cool with a total stranger roping her, and bringing her back into the shop. My boss suggested we keep her in a crate in the grooming room until we figured out what to do with her. I felt bad about calling the pound, so I opted to bring her home while we attempted to find the owner. I spent the last hour at work passing out "Found Dog" posters.

She's in our backyard right now - has to stay outside in our dog run, because, as non-aggressive as she appeared with other dogs in the beginning, I just don't want to risk bringing her inside with the other four. She's now got a heavy chain on her that connects to the fence just outside of the run, as an extra precaution, in case she decides that she wants to Houdini it out of the run, she won't be able to get very far (cos that run's not exactly Pit Bull proof, and goodness forbid she gets out and starts running around loose in Surrey... that's where most of the dog attack headlines come from!).

She's super, super sweet, and nothing but wiggle bums!!! She looks like she's maybe only a year or two, tops... great teeth, healthy weight. Some scabbing on her face, and on one of her ears though, and very worn down nails, which makes me suspect that she might be an outdoor dog, who probably got loose from someone's yard. Such a shame... she's well socialized too. Makes me wonder why on earth she'd not have a collar or some kind of ID. :/

Hopefully her owners turn up soon, and hopefully they aren't scummy Pit Bull owners. -____- That would make me very sad to give her back to them. But in the meantime... we have a new Canine Guest. :3

Photo Dump!
Finally just got around to posting up the pics I took from three weeks ago, when Tor and I took the pups with us to Vancouver Island, during BC Day. They had so much fun, and Jango swam in the Ocean by himself for the first time! :3 We also found a cool dog park for the two of them to romp around in.

Ball!

More puppy fun behind the Cut. )

Jango is now weighing in at around 35lbs, at four months old. He and Tobi started Puppy Obedience Class tonight. It was quite fun. :D

On an interesting and odd note, a couple of days ago, when Tor and I were out walking the boys, someone asked if Tobi was a Pit Bull. This is actually the second time within about a month that someone's asked this question. I know that probably a fair amount of people have never seen a smooth coated Border Collie before... but "Pit Bull"?? This just proves that breed bans are absolute BS, because many people simply cannot identify dogs by their breeds, just to look at them.

I find this just amusing beyond belief, that and I get asked a lot if Jango is a mixed breed Rottie/Dobe. He's a bit thin in these pics, because I was still adjusting his food portions at that time, but he is now a healthy weight, and eating four cups of food a day. O___o Just waiting for his next growth spurt. :-P

Anyway, off to bed for this Wolfdog. *Zzzzzzzzzzz*

Relationships and Judgment
In every relationship, there are always two sides of the story of what happened. Each person lives their own version of shared events. There is not necessarily a "right" or a "wrong" point of view - there is only the person's perspective of what happened, and what happened for them is very true in their world.

More babble behind the cut. )

Otherwise, I am very happy with my current living situation, and I am very happy being with Torwin. He and I just kind of ended up together - it was not a planned thing, especially since we had both literally come out of very traumatizing past relationships, and we were not looking to get into another relationship. But we ignored our own rules, about not letting ourselves get too close, or attached. Now, I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. I mean, I'd LIVE if we were ever to split up, but I'd rather remain living my life as it is with him. I owe him quite a bit.

We are a good team. We keep things very open and simple. There are no expectations, and no pressure. Everything's relaxed. He's who he is, and I love him for it, and likewise, he loves me for who I am, and doesn't try to change me into someone I'm not. He tolerates my bitchy moments, and I tolerate his crazy moments. We respect each others likes and dislikes, similarities and differences. He's fun to be around, and while he may not be super emotional and like talking about his feelings, he is still very affectionate, he makes me laugh, and there is never a doubt in my mind about how much he cares for me. But most important, we TRUST each other, and we communicate, and LISTEN to each other. We respect each other, and I can't ask for more than that.

Also, I REALLY, REALLY love my puppy, Jango! Tor drove me into work, with both Jango and Tobi today, and Jango spent some time by my side being a big mushpot, and I love him so much!!! He fills that empty space that's been there for a while, since I had to give Zena up (which really killed me inside...). If it weren't for Tor, I wouldn't have Jango right now, so it's just one more reason why I adore my Collie. ^^

This post is not meant to be emo or anything, and is just me thinking out loud about something that's been on my mind for the last couple of weeks. Always feels better getting things off my chest.

More Pics, and Video!
Well, our visit to see Jango's parents went very well. :) Jasmine and her hubby, Palmer, are very nice folks, with very friendly dogs. Although, Jango had the scare of his life when he first entered the backyard, as both of the big dogs came running up to greet him! :-P He screamed his head off, but quickly got over it, once he realized that no one was hurting him. I wonder how much of that place, or his parents, he actually remembers, if anything.

Rocky2

Jango's Dad, Rocky, is a two-year-old German bred Rott. He's actually not quite as huge as I was expecting. He's still big, but really not much bigger than Rogue is (our Daycare Rottie). So Jango should grow up to be a manageable size. :)

Jango's Mom, Spice. She's seven years old, and American Bred. Momma was not as thrilled to see her puppy again, as his Dad was. :-P Mom was like, "You're back?? I thought I was done with you puppies!" She was a very sweet girl, though. :)





Jasmine and Palmer were really happy to see how the baby was doing. We've been invited to visit again sometime in the future, maybe after the summer, when the weather starts to cool down. In the meantime, I'll keep sending them pictures. :3

Current Mood: happy

Photo Dump!
So, I finally decided to send an e-mail to Jango's breeder last week, and I got an e-mail back a few days ago. The lady was very nice, and though she was sad to hear that the original owners who bought Jango from them couldn't keep him, she was happy that Jango still ended up in a good home in the end.

She sent me some pics of Jango's parents and litter mates, and we'll be driving to Abbotsford tomorrow morning to go visit them. I'm really excited about meeting them. She's a really nice lady, and she's been keeping in touch with the other owners of Jango's siblings. We've all agreed to exchange e-mail contacts, to keep in touch and send photos of the pups as they grow. There was four of them in the litter all together - two females and two males, and Jango was the smallest of the males.

Here's a pic of Jango that I took today. He's now 14 weeks old, and 25lbs! :3

I'll be bringing my camera with me tomorrow, so I can hopefully get some good pics of Jango's Mom as well. I only got one in e-mail, but it's not the best pic of her. I'm so excited! XD *wags*
