What a year!

Well it's been almost a year since I last blogged. A lot of things have happened, good and bad, in a nutshell-I got off unemployment, was hired by ECP, layed off two months later, went back to work at MMi for seven weeks, work ran out, then I went to work for Thermo Heating Elements, where I am currently employed. It has been a roller coaster of a year but all in all I feel blessed to just have a warm bed to sleep in and enough food to eat when there are so many who don't have either. Ian is working at Journeys in the mall and his friend James is living with us now. I conquered my drinking problem and now only party occasionally. I hope the coming year will be prosperous for all of us!

I Fling Poo No More

Well it's over. I no longer work at hugs for hounds dog rescue.I loved my job there more than anything else I have ever done in my life and I dearly love all the little animals there! But the owner of the shelter keeps "forgetting" to pay me, oh I eventually get my money out of her but it is like pulling teeth. What really burns my ass up is she remembers to pay all of her other employees but she forgets to pay me. I don't fucking get it. I am a hard worker, I get in there and do my job-no talking on the phone or bumping my gums all day-I'm dependable and very passionate about animal rescue, and this shit has been going on since July, so I finally got fed up and quit. I guess it's better late than never to find out that the person you're working for is a sham, she claims to be dedicated to animal rescue, but buys dogs from backyard breeders and takes them up north and sells them, some unaltered so that they can be bred. That is not rescue that is no better than these stupid ass breeders who she supposedly is against.My eyes are open now, I regret even getting involved with someone like her.

Happy new Year

Here it is New Year's Eve Eve I hope that this coming year will be better than last year.

I am Putting The Secret To The Test

It's early Christmas morning, I have been cooking and wraping presents. Outside it is cold, windy and raining, suppose to turn to freezing rain later on, oh boy! Why can't we ever get snow on Christmas here in the upstate of South Carolina? I have never seen a white Christmas in my whole life! I feel cheated! On top of that I have sad heart, I am estranged from my family and a good friend of mine lost her husband 2 months ago and her mother 3 days ago, she is in such turmoil, it breaks my heart. I wish that I had a magic wand that would erase all the sorrow and pain from the world. There is so much suffering on this earth! so many people suffering , so many animals suffering, surely this is hell. My wish for this Christmas is that at least one quarter of the suffering that goes on will be elieviated . I command the Universe to stop at least one quarter of the suffering in this world! There! I have spoken!

Low Down Dirty Shame

I groomed a Bichon today at the shelter, he was such a sweet little dog, I wish that all of my doggie customers were that sweet! Over the weekend I groomed a 110 lb. lab and a 160 lb. English Mastiff! The Mast was the biggest dog I have ever groomed and I am not anxious to groom him again anytime soon! What a whopper! His owner was a stupid redneck who was going to breed him. This asshole has the nerve to come up in a rescue and talk about breeding his dog! The poor dog was eaten up with fleas, I never saw so much bloody flea dirt in my life! But being the typical breeder he didn't want to pay the $15.00 for the Frontline to protect this dog against fleas. Typical. Most breeders spend as little money as possible for the upkeep of their dogs because the bottom line is the money that they make from the puppy sales, they couldn't care less about the bitches or the studs all that these dogs are to them is to breed, breed, breed until they die.Until they outlaw backyard breeders and puppy mills our shelters will be full of unwanted dogs and cats, I know because I work at a shelter and right now we have several dogs that were given up by breeders. Sadly we live in a society that for the most part does not care about animals, children or old people, what a shame.
