Yara, now +- 11 months old:



My apologies for not being online all that much and commenting on your entries. I don't really have a valid excuse for it. Just didn't feel like spending a lot of time on the net.
I've been working at both v. Dijk's and the shelter. *shrugs*

I saw Ocean's 13 (pretty neat) and Hp & the order of the phoenix (cool movie!)in the cinema last week.

that's about it. sorry for being boring...

As of today I'm an official costumer service bitch. You know, the ones who keep transferring your call to others and keep saying; 'please hold a minute'?
That's me...

I hate talking to people let alone on the phone, but thank god there's a protocol you can follow so you don't have to improvise anything at all. Ugh... well as long as it pays.
I did have a slight anxiety attack there though. The new situation, the new people, the work. I hope I'll manage.

Besides that I bought two new goldfish for Jeniene because her old ones died under my care (although it wasn't my fault). There's a cute yellow one and a regular orange one now swimming in their completely renewed aquarium. I also got Jeniene a filter to keep it clean. That way she won't have to carry it down from her room. Hell I almost suffered a hernia trying to do that. A twelve year old shouldn't even attempt that. Plus it's muc better for the fish.

It's huge, gray, friendly and it's back...
No it's not an elephant. -_-

It's Shadow! I shouldn't be overly excited about that, but I love the big lug. The people who 'adopted' him fled from the farm they lived on and left him there. Family of them fed Shadow, but soon didn't want to take care of him any longer. Last week they literary dumped him on frontsteps of the shelter, almost driving into him as they left. Fuckers.

Man, I'm dead on my feet. This week in the shelter is murder on my feet and shoulders, lots of walking/standing and carrying heavy stuff (bags of dogfood, cans with catfood, etc.). But it's mentally exhausting as well. Not only are almost all the cats ill, we also had to let the vet (humanely) euthanise awhole lot of them and one dog. The cats were too sick and were suffering a lot, he was an 'Argentijnse Dog' and a bloody scary one at that. Too agressive to be rehomed. Sad, but it was unfortunately necessary.

I also went to the vet with Axel for his yearly shots. He was SO scared, lol. Unfortunately we also got some bad news. Axel is what you call 'crypto' (short for cryptocism) which means that one of his testes has not descended at all. This testis is still somewhere in his abdomen forming a (bening) tumor there. This tumor is excreting female hormones which are causing his nipples to swell (it is possible to the extend of infection)and lactate and his fur to shed a lot. Also his male genitals will probably shrink. In other words he's turning slowly more and more feminine.

Goddammit. I have an epileptic, homosexual and now transsexual dog. -_- Yay...


But he's still the best dog ever!!
