Today=much better day mentally. Not so mad at the world.
Summer- wow. June has been engulfed and destroyed-literally. Where did it go? I spent two weeks in Hawaii and the wedding blur... has left me with July & August. July has been spent getting Quincy acquainted with his new home, Dana's birthday, celebrating Benjamin's birthday and my Dad's high school reunion.
In the meantime- trying to still unpack from Hawaii. My room officially looks like a clothes hoarder. Taking the pups to the dog park etc... trying to plan a vacation for Thanksgiving. Portugal? Having a hard time b/c our family member dog sitter isn't comfortable with 3 dogs... so to have someone stay here with them is close to $500. So a trip to Portugal $2400 & $500 for dog sitter & $1000 spending money... yeah don't have those kind of funds. Maybe I can start a get "K" a vacation fundraiser...? No, that's selfish. I do without anything and there are pups out there that can really use the fundraiser more then me.
Things to look forward to:
Birthday- 27 years old soon and exactly where I want to be in life... how many peeps can say that?
Labor Day- going to a cabin with the rents and the crew... and get to see the new sister in law... :)
Thanksgiving- some kind of trip
Christmas- LOVE IT!
So pretty much.... just holidays... haha... Need to work on this.
In the process of trying to volunteer with local animal shelters- but they are so damn political they make it impossible to volunteer. Who would have thought volunteering would be so hard.
Going to start Quincy in a training class soon and get him his therapy dog certification. Will spend time going to children's centers and old folks homes to bring smiles to peoples faces. See- I try like hell to give back in this world more then I take....
More to come...
Love-
K
Hi, we have a brand new global petsitting site launching www.trustedhousesitters.com in a couple of weeks where you can find a referenced and police-checked petsitter free of charge. Thought you might be interested.
ReplyDeleteThe idea is simple: there's a lot of mature, reliable pet lovers out there that are keen to look after a home and pets free of charge, in exchange for a nice place to retreat to. It therefore gets rid of the issues you mentioned with having to raise more cash to go on holiday.
You can place and ad and search for the ideal sitter free of charge, and normally only would pay a small subscription once you want to contact someone (from $15 USD to $60USD for a year), however, as part of the launch, you can use promotional code "monthtrial2010" which should be sufficient time for you to find someone, so the whole thing will cost you nothing.
You can leave info on the holding page if interested www.trustedhousesitters.com, or contact me andy@trustedhousesitters.com for more info.
Either way, hope you find an ideal petsitter soon.
Andy
Shelters here are so strick as well. It's hard to even adopt! Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing. Good they are keeping crazy people from adopting, bad they are even keeping some legit people from adopting!
