Life is good
15 years ago
So lots of shit has hit the fan in the past few days... I was denied information about something very important that got me rather upset. Now that I’ve had time to sit and think about it everything has seemed to calm down a bit for me in that way. I still feel used and lied to but nothing can change that now so only thing to do is be the mature one about it and move on.
Anyway as one of my submissions mentions, I was recently certified as a pet trainer for PetSmart. I’ve now had a few weeks to get into the swing of things and I. Love. It. I adore being a trainer, I am seeing improvements in my clients dogs already, I love being the one with all the answers, I love helping people and I especially love playing with puppies ^.^ I mean really who wouldn’t? I am eagerly awaiting next Sunday as that’s when my classes run, even my clients like me. I’m funny and down to earth and get the job done.
I had a manager talk to the lead pet trainer in our store about me, telling her how awesome I was, how much of an asset I am to the company on a whole as I am not only a trainer, but trained as a cashier, work in the petcare department (small animals, birds, reptiles, fish) and have done core as well (dog/cat). So I know everything just shy of driving the fork lift and doing managers duties, and even then I’ve had the managers come to me and ask me questions.
So in short, life has sucked balls in the not so distant past, but now that said person is gone life is looking wonderfully up ^.^

My 7 year old German Shepherd has recently decided its funny to grab plushies off the bed and hide them when he is home alone. At least he doesn't tear them up, he just slobbers all over them and buries them under rugs or piles of laundry. I need to talk to one of the trainers at his daycare place to learn how to let him know I don't find it as funny as he does.
