I finished my externship! YAY! I got a job on the Float Pool at the Budge Clinic. Basically we fill in for people who either call in sick or ask for time off. It really is a cool program to have...that way the employee who needs time off doesn't have to find someone else...the lady over the staffing department is the one who helps make sure everyone is taken care of. So I've been working for about a full week now on that. It's tricky trying to remember what each doctor wants and how to efficiently run the office, but once you get the basics down it's not so bad.
Charlie graduated from obedience class! It was the intermediate level. We learned tricks like "On Your Bed" where they actually will climb onto/into their bed and lay down, "Wait" until we give the command and then they can come to us, and stuff like that. He's done way good! In a few months after the holidays we are going to sign him up for the advanced level obedience class! I'm excited!
This is me, my mom, and my sister's project this year to decorate our house. All it took was some creativity, some spiders, and lots of string! But it was definitely fun and it turned out great! We did have some tombstones that we bought at the new Halloween USA store, but I didn't get a chance to take a pic of those.
Charlie sure did love the pumpkins! We bought each of our dogs one little pumpkin that we carved a face into. Charlie went nuts...all he wanted to do was pick the pumpkin up by the stem and drag it around the yard!
Of course...what would a fall be without playing in the leaves?! Ha. Charlie, Wrigley (the blonde-ish dog) and Nathan (my bro) had lots of fun playing in all of the leaves they raked up.
At Petsmart this year, they had a Halloween party for dogs and cats about a week before Halloween. We definitely got into the Halloween spirit by dressing our three dogs up! Becca dressed Wrigley up as a soccer player, and Cinder (her foster dog...the black lab) as Pocahontus - complete with the braids! She HATED her costume! And of course...we had to dress Charlie up as well. He got to go as SPIDERMAN!!!!! He just absolutely adored his costume! The first time, however, he felt embarrassed until we told him how handsome he looked. Then he quite enjoyed it!
Last but not least, here is my Halloween costume. I didn't want to spend much money so I went to Macey's and got some tattoos that look like lacerations with either staples or stitches in them. They looked real! Plus, they cost like $1. So it was a great deal. I just put white makeup on my face and a black eye, and this tattoo and went as a beat up person. ha. I couldn't find my old soccer or basketball uniform so I just wore my regular clothes.
Anyways, there it is. I've been quite busy! But it's been way fun too!
