I think it all comes down to basic karma. You get as many good seasons as you deserve, right? I don't know. Seems right to me ... I mean, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But it just seems intuitive, ya know? Karma is a lovely idea and I wish I could believe in it. But so far I have yet to be convinced of its existence.

Summer just sucks in general. I hate summer. Heat, humidity, bugs, people gathering together in large crowds... what the hell is there to like about it?

I'm getting out half day, finally getting my car back, 3-1/2 days off, and I'm unplugging. Hope everyone's weekend is twice as good as you want it to be! Peace out. So jealous. I just want to go home and take the pups out for a walk. Looking like I will have to come into the (closed) office for a couple hours on Monday just to get this stupid project done. My brain is fried.

So glad that Harbor is on his way to healing up. Thank goodness you have a vet who is willing to help. Ok, here is where I need some advice from you guys about something. Turns out this intake coordinator is someone my wife was involved with at a shelter. this person is bad news, she hates pit bulls, was always advocating for having the ones that were at the shelter put down. She was instrumental in spreading a lot of lies that caused there to be legal proceedings, which as i understand it are ongoing. Turns out the person has a history of this in another state and misrepresents herself as some sort of "expert". So obviously the dog isn't going there. My issue is I feel kind of obligated to out this person past and real nature especially since she is in a position where she can have life and death impact on the dogs I love. Advice please. I don't need drama but I love our breed. I don't know about "outing" her because you don't want to get slapped with a libel suit, but I think that you can tell the person who referred you to her that you have very credible information about her that makes you uncomfortable about handing a dog over to her. And if you can find public information that demonstrates her past behavior, maybe send it to your FB friend or even post it on your page. I would also point out to your FB friend that their website clearly says that they do not accept pit bulls and it would be very risky to send them a dog that could be "identified" as a pit bull just because someone says it's okay.

OMG @ the last ep of Breaking Bad. And I can't believe we only have ONE MORE EPISODE and then have to wait until next year for the finale. Seriously! I don't think anyone is going to be left alive by the end of the series.

I worked in social services until this past February when I took a new job. Seeing the worst of humanity has a horribly detrimental impact on your mental and emotional well being. I completely understand, John. And my heart goes out to you. At my agency we talked a lot about self care and maintaining boundaries. I know it's easier said than done, but try to take care of yourself and find healthy distractions from the pain and stress.

Hehe, he looks like he's thinking to himself "Can't I get ANY privacy?!." ;D

Try being the one who has to make "that decision" on a dog you've been working with for months and who greets you happily as you turns his paperwork. If I owned a gun, I probably would have shot myself long ago. One of my "dreams" is to start a foundation/sanctuary one day, and I want to have a program that provides compassion fatigue counseling for shelter workers. It's not just the dogs that need our help.

Wow. That pup is so lucky that you saw him. Hope his recovery goes well and that you have luck finding him a safe and loving home. I'm assuming no collar/tags/microchip? You may want to contact local AC in case someone has reported him lost. Poor guy.
