Changes Coming

So for the past year I have been home with Ava. The one year "anniversary" of when I got laid off snuck up on me. I couldnt believe it had been that long! Although the first few months of being confinded at home were tough on me I started to enjoy it and once Ava got a little older and more interactive it became fun and exciting most days. I love getting up and cooking her breakfast and watching her eat it and we have a few daily routines that we do that I and I'm sure her too have become quite accustomed to. But soon I will be going back to work (I think..first they have to offer me the job but I have a good feeling). It will be at a veterinarians office as a Vet Assistant. I did a working interview and really enjoyed it so I am hoping I hear from them soon and am offered the position. I'm really going to miss being home with Ava and all the new and cute things she does on a daily basis though. But at the same time I am looking forward to getting back out in the world and working and doing something that I will really like.

On another note, we decided to leave Marley in Maryland for a few more months. He has a pool up there and someone is home with him most of the time which wouldnt be the case if I go back to work. He seemed to be doing ok other than having eaten something that made him go to the bathroom about 8 times Saturday while we were there for the 4th. Cathy called and said he is back to normal now though and will soon start this medicine that can strengthen (possibly) his rectal muscles so that maybe he will gain a little more control of his bowels. He is on on incontinence medicine also. But over all he is doing ok...we realize he will not get any better. He is just an old dog and is going through the life of a senior citizen. I just hope I have someone to take care of me as good as he is being taken care of now when I am old like that. Hopefully I will do good with Ava and she will be there :-)
