So one of the things that's been heavy on my mind lately is that I really, really, REALLY want to do something with animals, dogs, something.  Don't get me wrong, I really like my desk job, but I dunno.  I guess I should be more grateful or something, I am.  It's just that I'm most happiest these days around this dog walking/pet sitting.  And I'd be almost willing to say that I'd take on several jobs just to make it happen.  And still, I could contribute to my RRSP as much as I am now, plus my pension contribution and still earn interest for when I'm an old fart.  That's the part that no one seems to understand or want to hear.  So, I'm forced to suppress my thoughts and thus my dreams and what I'd like to ultimately be doing in a couple of years.  That is, leaving Bay street and doing something enriching, helping others.  Fuck, why didn't I think of these brilliant career moves oh, ya know, a decade ago?!  I guess it's true when "they" (whoever they is lol) you go through several career changes in your lifetime.  And I mean, it's not like I don't know that we have debt to pay off; I do.  Like I said, it's not like I want to quit my job and say, "Hey, I wanna be a couch potato!", no that's not it.  I guess for the time being, I can continue to do what I'm doing, pay down and off debt, save money and then perhaps move into a house in a couple of years and maybe, just maybe I could get away with say being a yoga instructor and a dog walker/pet sitter.  :) That would be flippin' wicked, actually.

Went to yoga today after a bit of a hiatus, about a week.  Backs of my legs were a bit tight, that's for sure.  Mind you, I was also used to doing a month of hot yoga where you're more pliable.  Can't decide if I'll do yoga tomorrow or do a kick boxing class.  Hmmmm, decisions.

This weekend we have dock diving - I've got mixed emotions about this.. Lol primarily because they're all frou frou at the moment and look AWESOME (new groomer I found and I love her!!)  Here's a couple of pictures.

Cute huh? :)  As I was saying... Dock diving on Saturday - well, we'll give it a go. See if they jump.  Going to take the life jackets in case but I honestly don't think they'll even attempt to jump in the water with that bulky thing on, but I could be wrong.  Then at some point this weekend, whether Sat afternoon or Sunday, we'll be going down to Woofstock, I can't wait!!

If I don't write before the end of the weekend, peace!

I've been dog walking/pet sitting for over a week now and I just love it.  The first few days was mainly cats, and then last Saturday I walked a beagle mix, a maltese and a cocker spaniel.  This weekend, I've got an old english sheep dog that watches me for cues all the time, it's great to see.  Only trouble is, it's been raining the past couple of days here and when I took her out last night, she just got soaked.  And I realised that I need some rain boots for days like yesterday.  So that'll be the plan in July, to buy me some Hunters.

This morning I visit my girl Daphne, the sheep dog and then Sophie a cockapoo and Dozer, a mastiff/dane cross.  All very lovely dogs.  Man the Mastiff is strong, but then again he IS dane/mastiff, hello!! lol.

Just got back a short while ago from having taking the boys up to a new groomer's that I'm really liking and have connected with.  Great woman, she's been through a lot in the last few years and she just seems to get me and what I want for the boys.  I don't want them spending 5-6 hours at a groomers and coming home shaved when I could do that exactly butcher hair cut for free at home, and to boot, without stressing the living jesus out of my furrbabies.  Quiet day at home now; Jeff went up north with his brother and his kids last night so that they could cut the grass at their parents before they get back from Florida, but they also went up to shoot some guns. :)  Boys....

This time next week we'll be trying out dock diving with the dogs :)  Who knows if it'll be a waste but I want to at least try to see if they'll take a leap of faith off the dock into the water.  Woofstock is also next weekend.  WOO! :)

Anyways, off to clean while I have no one home and no one to disturb. Have a great day xo
