Long time, no see..
So here I am.. after a 5 month or so hiatus! My sister started a blog for Hayden and I figure since I'm ALWAYS on here checking her blog.. I should maybe start posting again. I'm not sure why I haven't been.. busy I reckon.
So what is new with Patty?
I don't think I've touched on work. I started working for Petco around October. Initially, I was working at the Sawmill location.. in Dublin. However, that location as well as the location in Reynoldsberg closed and we were offered the opportunity to interview with the one location that would be left here in Columbus.. which is at the Lennox TC by campus. I was working as a cashier over at the Dublin Petco but interviewed for the grooming position at Lenox. I got the job and believe me... it is SO different. The position is growing on me though and for the most part I don't mind the job. I work a lot.. 35-40 hours/week.. but I suppose it's worth it in the end. I make a lot more money. I also just caught word that I'll be starting training here soon for a groomer position ( where Ill learn to cut/style all breeds ).. instead of the bathing/brushing/nail trimming/etc. that I've been doing now. I'm nervous but I have the background and I think Ill do pretty good. Plus, the customers seem to love me so personality should make up for what I lack in talent ;-)
Ashley, the new standard poodle puppy that I got in .. umm.. November? , is doing well. We are STILL working on housebreaking but with as much as I'm not home.. he is doing good. It's hard for us to be consistent. He is turning out to be gorgeous though.. he weighs around 45 lbs.. and at 5 months old that is HUGE. Hes a great guard dog.. which is what I wanted. He barks if he hears the slightest sound. When I have to walk the dogs at 1 in the morning that is a VERY good thing.
Baby Hayden is growing up SO fast. He's 11 months old today! He has 4 teeth in. Venus is paranoid about him having a gap in his teeth! She is so silly. He could have 10 huge gaps and he'd still be gorgeous! He is such a sweet baby too. Spoiled rotten but sweet ;-) I don't get to see him near enough.. especially now that I work all the time.. but when I do it's the greatest feeling in the world. He means everything to me! We were blessed with such a perfect baby! Healthy too! He hasn't even had a cold * knock on wood * I'll be posting pictures!
Rhythm .. the colt.. is almost a year old now! At times I had convinced myself that he was too much for me and I had to get rid of him. However, he is turning into a very sweet and intelligent horse.. I can't wait to ride him ( even if it is gonna be another year and a half! ). Chaz, the new guy in my life, is a fan of him too. He helps me go out and muck out his stall and brush him down. It's fun.. even in subzero weather!
Alright.. that's it for now. Tons I need to get done around here!
Ciao!
