best decision I ever made

It's been awhile since I have done a post you guys. There is a very good reason for that: college takes over my life and that little cutie you see up there, Janis. As you all know I have been training a service dog throughout the semester and now it is, unfortunately, over. Now that it has ended I'm going to take a minute and reflect via posting with you all.

I have been apart of many things throughout my life but I have to say being part of 4paws for Ability has been the best decision I've made in awhile. It started because I love dogs and wanted the opportunity to have one for a semester. Well, it ended up being much more than that. Yes I got so attached to my little Janis that I cried for days when she had to go but having the satisfaction of knowing that I and everyone else who did the program have contributed to her and the other dogs going on to help some little child is the best feeling in the world.

I now want a dog of my own more than ever. Good thing college is almost over right? I highly suggest that if you don't know what these dogs do or are capable of .. look it up! It's amazing and their ability to help handicapped children, adults or regular ol' folk like me is incredible and they'll melt your heart more than the average dog. Trust me.

Now that my experience with them is over I will always use what I have learned and carry the memories forever. Hands down ... best semester ever.

Graduation anyone? I'm glad to be back!

here today, gone tomorrow

Today is the day that I bring you both good and bad news. We'll start on a good note with the fact that I'm getting my haircut and colored up today. THIS IS A MIRACLE. My hair has been begging me for weeks now to stop walking around with it looking like it does. It is flat, no shape, and no matter what I do as soon as I walk outside it kinks up and goes back to looking like it did before I showered and fixed it. A girl's worst nightmare really. Therefore, today is my hair's Christmas. She will be getting all Sophia Bush short and Reese Witherspoon bangs (I'll be sure to share it later with you guys).

But, on a sad note my little Felix is leaving me today. He unfortunately has developed some habits that must be fixed back at 4paws to ensure that he can continue on in the service dog program. Therefore, while I am sadder than sad I'm happy that he will be getting the help he needs. In case you were wondering I cried (a lot) I'm kinda like Kristen Bell and if I'm not between a 4 and an 8 ... I'm crying. I am definitely a crier. I am getting a replacement dog though and will be sure to introduce you all to her. I'm sure she will be a doll but never as much of a hunk as Felix is. He will be missed!

long time. no blog.

Hello! Long time no talk. I've missed you guys. Really. But, I have been super busy these past two weeks getting adjusted to being a dog-trainer extraordinaire. I would like everyone to meet - Felix, my new 4paws puppy friend. Isn't he the cutest? YES! I'm sure you will be hearing and seeing a lot more of him here at this little blog of mine. He's basically attached to my hip. But who would complain about having this adorable guy attached to their hip? Not me.
Anyway, please excuse my absence I promise I will be a better blogger girl in the future. In the mean time just enjoy the major cuteness at the top of this post. Did I mention he likes to cuddle? Awwww.

Happy Tuesday.
