Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Yippeee, glad to hear that you got some good sleep. :) Awesome isn't it when you feel well rested. :)
hmm, can you call someone to find out if they have made any decisions yet on the job?
If you didn't get it, then there Will be other opportunities and you have an interview under your belt now too.
Okay have to go carry molly out for a potty break. This should be fun. NOT!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Wow you are getting a total checkup!! Jeepers hope your dentist trip went well and was not too painful. I must be about due too, they are pretty good with the injections, I find they do not hurt too much if they get it in the right spot :)

Bugger about the job, you would think they would do the decent thing and let you know. They might still be going through the process though so it might still come through! xx

Hey you

Yes I decided it was time to start looking after myself, not just my body but my mind too. Had another 8 hrs sleep last night and feel refreshed again today. The Abs are kicking in and my tooth doesn,t feel so bad, but do still have to go and get it fixed next week.

You would think that they would,ve let me know about the job but that happens all the time here, they never normally do, some companies don,t even acknowledge your application :confused:

Good to hear you are getting everything checked out Tracy!! Ack still another dentist appt to get through, won't be so bad now the infection is getting dealt too!

That is so rude, not letting you. Especially after an actual interview, that's very bad form on their part and they know you too. :mad: Ring the buggers up and ask!! Say they obviously need some help in their HR processes and you are the person to sort them out :D

Lol I could, if I don,t hear anything today I will ring them this afternoon find out whats happening. It is terrible that they don,t let people know what is happening, no idea why they do that :confused:

It appears to be dry and the sun is out this morning, so I will go a walk as I,ve not been for a couple of days as its been rain, rain, and more rain, :(

That will clear the cobwebs out, lovely day here today and nice again tomorrow which will be good for travelling, it is approx. 4 hr drive tomorrow and the meeting starts at 10am. I have to set the alarm for 5am, my sister has threatened me if I am late :D:D Which I often am, I can't help it... I try and get organised and on time but it is one of my failings!

ROFL! Well getting up at 5am would be a definite failing on my part! hahaha Not an early riser. I am more like best friends with the snooze button. :) :)

I agree, give them a ring if you don't hear today and make them tell you one way or another. I like what Trish said, they need help in their HR department and you'd sort them right out.

Glad you are getting sleep again and the AB's are working on the tooth! yay!!
Oh nice sun, we seem to be going to get a snow storm here this weekend. YIKES! then possibly another big one next week too. Not thrilled.

Tracy:
How rude are these people not to even call you back. I would call them, and tell them they definitely need you as you would not leave anyone hanging like this! Blessings

Hi Tracy - hope you have had a good couple of days since we chatted last, maybe catch up with you some time tomorrow. I had a nice little two day break away. Spent way too much money shopping, Flynny got a nice new matching collar and leash for his pressie :D He has been in bed a while and was asleep and I woke him to go out and pee before I go to bed soon and he kinda leapt up and then limped towards me... :eek::eek: He stopped limping and went outside but was kinda slow so hope it was just a bit of a dead leg from laying on it. Will see what it is like in the morning. I have a bit of a dilemma about what to do with him this week, Dad is still in hospital so I am just hoping he gets home as my sister is going to stay with him while I take Mum to Auckland for the Dolly concert. But if he is not out then she won't go around there. She works and won't be home with Flynn, she has two cats at her house .... ack what to do. Can't take him, as my friends we are staying with have a cat too. So hoping Dad gets discharged by then **fingers crossed** Hope your teeth are all OK, have you heard about the job? xxxxx

Ugh, waiting for that call is the worst part.
Wishing you good luck!

Tracy:
Hoping you have gotten some word on a job by now. I hate when people feel you are over qualified to do a job, or don't want to pay what you are worth. How was the dog sitting experience? Blessings
Patti

Not heard from the job which is a bit rude of them but I,ll keep looking. Mac (westie) has been really good and is currently asleep in front of the fire as it's cold here. He goes home tomorrow but has confirmed I'm not ready for another one just yet :)

Tracy,

I hate when they leave you hanging. At least tell me one way or another.
If their HR group is that lax, I wonder what the rest of the company is like?

Mac will keep you company any time until you're ready I'm sure.

Well fooey on the job, but hopefully something else will turn up soon.

I'm sure you're a wonderful doggy sitter for Mac and you've have had fun together.

It doesn't matter When you'll want to look into getting another companion, you'll know when you're ready. When I knew (and it took me a year, I'm rather slow with these things) it was because I found myself on petfinder.com looking for rescue organization all the time. So, that was a big clue. I was registered and approved by the rescue, before I had met molly, because you know, if the right one came along, I didn't want to have to wait.

I am currently keeping a watch out for someone to find a red lab, puppy age, through a rescue. So, just keeping an eye for that. I won't even tell you the horrible story of the breeder they went to who had one. It was too horrible for words and the breeder was turned in. :( It's horrible some of those places.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Sharlene I,m still registered with Woodys old rescue and sometimes do look online at the dogs but nothing catching my eye yet! I tend to go for the abused, neglected ones not through choice they just seem to find me.

I know what you mean some breeders, we call them back yard breeders should never own a cuddly toy never mind a dog, makes me sick some of them only in it for the money :mad:

Exactly how it works. If one of them touches your heart, then you'll know. Molly was the most terrified of the group that came down from a high kill shelter in Quebec. She was quivering in the back of the open wire crate, terrified, shaved down to nothing it looked like. She was just a scared little puppy. My husband picked her up and never put her down. He said, she needs us and that was that. Here she is 10 years later, now 11 years old (she was 11 months when we got her) and rules our lives. :) :)

I don't know how on earth you manged to keep Woody from jumping and running for 6 weeks! As soon as Molly is on her meds she thinks she feels great and wants to do everything she always had done.

yea, some of those "breeders" shouldn't be allowed to be in business. It's disgusting.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

It wasn't easy keeping Woody still as you know he loved to play. It was easy the first two weeks as he didn't want to do anything as he was sore, but then it got harder as he was only allowed a toilet break for the following 4 wks, I played a lot of games with him, mind games, used kongs a lot but it was hard. I panicked after 3 wks when he was a lot better and at a vets visit when my vet said still no walking, jumping etc and I was all but he,s a lot better my vets response was if that discs bursts he may never walk again :eek: that was all I needed to keep him calm :)

That Is very scary. :(

Molly is currently only allowed outside to go potty and she isn't allowed to jump on or off anything.
She is allowed in a blocked off area inside the house, which seems to be working so far. Cross fingers.
It's hard though when she is on those meds and thinks she feels good. We aren't giving in though, not a bit.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Tracy

We are overdue a catchup and I will be hunting you down on the weekend :D:D:D Hope your week has gone well, your weather must be getting ready to change for the good soon and give you a spell of sunshine :):) Hope your dentist appointment is behind you and your feeling a lot betterxxxxxx:):D

Gads, I hear there is more flooding!! Hope everything is okay where you are.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Tracy:
Hoping things are going well with you and that you will hear something on the job front soon. Blessings
Patti

Hello everyone

I,ve been a bit MIA this week, just trying to concentrate on getting myself in the right frame of mind. It has been hard without Woody, but I,m finally coming to terms with it. I neglected myself when Woody was sick (as we all do) and have finally started to look after myself. I have caught up on all my health issues, got my meds sorted out and am finally eating a proper cooked meal every day. My doctor was really good last week, she gave me into trouble for missing my check ups but I explained about Woody and she was great, I didn,t get the "its only a dog" speech instead she said it was natural to go through the grieving process as he was family whether he had 4 legs or 2 legs :D

Oh goodness I,ve written an essay. Hope everyone human and furry are well :)

Tracy x

I looked after Mac last weekend and we had a blast, but once he left on Monday I went into a downer, so suppose I wasn,t as ready as I thought to look after him, but I,m ok now.:D I have added a picture of him to my albums.

I had a good day today and spent it with my niece, she is 7 months pregnant now and is moving into her own home at the end of the month with her partner, but she cost me a fortune a new washer/dryer and fridge freezer, I don,t mind she is a good girl ;)

I didn't hear anything from the job, BUT they contacted me this afternoon, to tell me that I hadn,t got the job (which I had assumed anyway) but they have another position that they want me to interview for, they won,t be advertising this position and they said I would be ideal for it :eek: So I have an interview on Monday 11 am, fingers crossed I get it as funds are a bit low now, the position is Head of Shipping basically they want me to run the shipping department for them, never done anything like that before but willing to learn :D

Tracy! So glad to see you and absolutely agree, you have got to get yourself in order. Woody took a lot of energy and thought process and just worry, and I know you wouldn't trade a minute to be with him again or regret one moment spent, but now it is time for you to take care of you.
It sounds like you are making an excellent start too! Good for you! I'm very very proud of you Tracy.
Oh my gosh Head of Shipping! Whoo hooooo. That sounds actually like a really good, interesting job. Still close to home too, should be a decent salary and they aren't even advertising it, just think its the one for you. Gosh, that sounds Very positive. And how about that for getting your plan back on track. :)
I think things are coming together nicely and you'll have a nice little sum to spend on that new baby that is coming along. :) Nothing like getting to spoil a baby. :)

So, pleased that things are going well for you Tracy. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi everyone

I got the job yippee :D I start tomorrow morning, I,ve been "happy dancing" round the living room since the phone call. I,m so glad, this is just what I need. I can now get the plan back into action.:D

Congratulations!!!!!!

Congratulations, Tracy! :cool::cool::cool: That is wonderful! I can just imagine your elation and relief.

I spent most of my last working years in the building industry and when I became unable to keep up with the physical jobs I was doing, I started working in Shipping and Receiving for a local lumber company. Over time it sort of morphed to include Purchasing and Merchandising. I LOVED it! It was a little intimidating at first with all the new procedures, paperwork and people to deal with but pretty quickly it all came together. I hope you have as much fun with your new job.

Oh Tracy, I'm so happy for you!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Doin' the Happy Dance on this side of the world for you, too! ;) :D :D

Marianne

CONGRATULATIONS!!!So happy for you! :D:):D:):p

Hi guys

It went really well. I spent most if the morning talking dogs to the girl that is training me. She has a blue staffy with skin and stomach problems so off course we had to discuss it :)

There's lots to learn which is good but lots of stairs up and down all day so my feet hurt lol. I came home and fell asleep on the sofa still with my jacket on and now when I should be sleeping I'm awake oh well.

We have a light dusting of snow tonight so hope it doesn't get worse

At least you live close to work now! :)

oh yes, of course you have to discuss all dog issues. That is the way to get to know your co-workers too. :) :)

hmm, good shoes is going to be important in this job!

So, happy for you, now don't forget to make something to eat and try and get a good nights rest. :)

Huggers,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Whooo hooooo!

Congratulations Tracy!

Tracy:
