I have been a pretty busy girl. Working at the humane society has not been easy but has been so rewarding. I actually got employee of the month for the month of February. So all those staying late and getting early does pay off.

So bad news first, my husband is in jail. Unfortunantly, I have been unable to keeps up with the bills and have had to forgo paying the debt he incurred only in his name. I feel bad because i wantted to do this for him but can not. I had an abcess tooth that is costing me 2800 dollars. And now have another additional monthly pay off. which would have gone towards his bills. So i got to get the divorce papers started so that he can figure out how to deal with his debt. I love him but will never let him hurt me again.

Some good news, I adopted a dog from the shelter. Her name is Spinner. She is a two year old black pug. She does have some medical issues that I am currently dealing with such as two compressed disk in her back from a unknown injury. Also possibly has a rare pug disorder called Pug enchephalitis.


Pug enchephalitis, also known as PDE is a mostly unknown disease. Enchephalitis means inflammation of the brain. Symptoms of PDE are seizures, walking in circles, pressing head against people, walls, or, furniture, staggering gait, and neck pain. The first sign is a change in behavior as small as not wanting to get up from a chair.

About my girls, they are getting so big, so grown up so fast. It seems like yesterday they were little and being carried in my arms. SaraBeth has been enjoying Kindergarten. She had to get glasses because she has exotropia, or an strabismus. more commonly known as cross eyes but in her case her eyes go outward. This leads to one eye developing faster over the other and leading to a "weak" eye. Megan is doing good. She is so smart and wants to take ballet lessons.
