He made it I hope he makes it through. I worry about him. The owner says she takes him for long walks in the foot hills and stuff. I cant bring myself to do that. I'll take him for a walk but I would be afraid that he would go down on me and die....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/631886I love my new job but I am amazed at how spoiled some peoples pets are. I spent a week letting a dog in various doors just so she could turn around and go back out her dog door and want me to let her in somewhere else. Her owner is home with her all day and must spend it waiting on the dog. I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/630663Work is going so well that I'm too busy to blog. I am putting about 100 miles a day on my car going from job to job. I'm thrilled but it's hard to settle down in the evenings to write. Well one of the big jobs will be done in three days so maybe then. It's a shame that I cant get it together this...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/629890To make matters worse as I tried to get out I often fell on my then skinny little backside covering my too tight jeans with ozz. I was not only wet but my new personal fragrance was far from attractive. I repaid him for his fun at my expense I soaked up his seat and let him smell me for the rest...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/629528Understand this was the early 80's. You didn't have to be certified to go to work as a tech. I was EUSTATIC!!! A dream come true, to work with animals all day. I was saddened by the fact that I wouldn't be going out on call anymore as I did as a volunteer. The techs seldom got to do that they...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/629437All refrigerators etc had long ago been placed up off the floor on pallets. Floor to ceiling shelves started a couple of feet OFF of the floor and you could measure maximum flood levels by the water marks and rust left behind on the metal bases of the surgery tables. In spite of all this I loved...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/629279I would begin my day by preparing buckets of Pinesol and Clorox mixed. We used this for cleaning. The building was old and hard to keep clean. Our boss was old school. He just knew that if Pinesol and Clorox was good mixing the two would be even better. The combination was bound to kill anything...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/629170I was thinking back one day to my early years as a technician. This time of reflection was brought about by the realization that at least four of our staff members were not yet born when I started my career. Work was becoming easier that was certain. The clinic I started at did a little bit of...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/628997Lets face it. When you are reaching the point of having to turn away work, then your business is good. And when you are trying to start your own business that is a good thing. But I'm reaching the point where I'm going to be away from home more nights then I am going to be home. I hate leaving my...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/WillowsWork/628723I'm back home tonight. The lady I set for didn't call me when she got home. I hate that I always worry that maybe something went wrong. She has my number though so I guess if she wasn't going to make it home she would call so that I could go feed the old boy. He has a doggie door so at least he...
