haircutYesterday on the way home from town ..... microwave shopping and spur of moment haircut, I stopped at the vet office to pick up heartworm pills for the dogs.
Mercedes, the step-daughter of Art, the vet, is and has been a staple in his office for as long as I've taken my animals there and since she got out of the service. She is a very organized tough but funny office girl who keeps her step-dad in line and knows about as much about animals as he does. She knows that I'm not working right now and asked if I would be interested in possibly working there. One of there helpers will be ..... someday ..... just not sure when and if they will get notice ..... leaving. Her job is walking the dogs and doing their meds. Washing blankets. Helping Art when needed. Mowing the lawn and helping to take care of the horses and other large animals that may be there. It's about 4 miles from home. Even totally bike ride-able. Full time. A whopping $9.00 an hour to start. But for here well, lets say at the group home I was making $8.00 ..... and I was in charge of human lives. So its a step up financially. lmao
Ok .... so, my only issue is this .... I cry at the sight of a dead deer, squirrel, raccoon or whatever along side the road. Can I be tough enough to endure animals in pain and dying? Wow, I don't know. Would I toughen up after awhile? I would love to work there ..... Mercedes and I have always gotten along great. And yes, we have spent some time talking with each other. For awhile there I was her favorite customer ..... at least a once a week visit.
Something I need to really think about. But I told her to please call me first. And she said she would.
Ok .... off to take a shower ..... and yeah, I did wake up looking like Conan O'Brien. The new haircut. Scary.
Peace. J.
