• About three years ago I joined a rescue group. What started out as holding a leash for a couple of hours on Sundays turned into a whole new way of life for my family.

      There have been many changes in my life over the past year, all of them for the better. One thing I did lose, though, was my rescue group.

      I thought I had found a new rescue where I felt like I belonged. Unfortunately they didn't turn out to be what I thought they were. I'm walking away from dog rescue. I just can't do it any more. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle and it hurts.

      I've just started volunteering with rabbits. I can't walk away from animals all together, I feel like I have to do something. This way I can give myself a much needed break from the politics of rescue but still make a difference.

      At first this blog was strictly about rescue. Then it became about my personal life. Now, finally, it's a little bit of both.

    Flyin Solo At Work

    Good grief! Today was one of those days. If it could go wrong…it did. Sometimes twice.

    It started when I woke up and one of my only pair of black shoes was chewed to bits. My fault, Jezebel hasn’t been getting enough exercise. She and Chuck have been neglected while I dote on the bunnies, which is uncool of me.

    Pulling into the parking lot at work I discovered I forgot my id badge. I need the badge to get in the garage. I had to park in the parking lot, way out in BFE. I feel sorry for all the folks who have to park out there every day.

    My superviser is on vacation. The guy who works the front desk let me borrow his badge to park my car in the garage. In the time it took me to walk outside and move my car he got a call that his mother was rushed to the ER. She went for an MRI on her hip and while she was in there they found an aneurysm in her aorta. He took off out of there and called me on his way to the hospital. I called him a few hours later on his cell to see if everything is OK but got his voice mail. I would imagine he’s pacing the waiting room.

    Since it’s just me I get to go in at 6:45 and work til 4:30. I’ll get paid overtime so that’s cool but we all know how I’m not a morning person.

    Our main program database was moved to a new server. When they moved it they “upgraded” it. The upgrade sucks, it seems like we went backwards in capability instead of forward. And…my computer kept losing connection. I wasn’t the only one but it seemed like it started with me and moved down the line. The poor IT guy was at my desk looking like his eyeballs were going to melt right out of his skull. I hope he went home and drank a lot of something mind and mood altering.

    Things got better when work was over. I went to DSW and bought a new pair of shoes. I came home and took both dogs for a walk. Now it’s getting dark and sounds like it’s going to rain. I still need to let the bunnies out but ever since I built their new condo they prefer to stay in their cage than come out to play. I may just eat some dinner and head to bed early.

    5:30 comes pretty early.
