Tell us about yourself: Hi.....my name is Angela. I have 2 daughters and 1 granddaughter. All of my dogs (and cats) are rescues. I have a puppy that we just adopted that I think could be at least part Dutch Shepherd. We also have a 2 year old pug/min pin mix and an 11 year old border collie and possible lab mix.

I'm back!

Had a few things I was dealing with....nothing too horrible! One actually really good! First thing was that I had computer problems. All taken care of with my replacement laptop. Secondly, I was transitioning to a new job! A good one at that! No more retail! Anyway, Roxie is doing great! She's grown a lot and she's SO good! Nearly 50 pounds now and almost a year old. They estimated her birthday to be in January. She will be starting the advanced beginner's obedience class after the new year. (we really haven't worked much over break) :oops: I've given up on her ears, they just aren't going to stand up. I've decided to go with shepherd/hound mix when I register her for tags. Around here, they'll identify the brindle with a hound before they will a shepherd.

Welcome back!

Glad to hear you got a nice job, and out of retail, especially in time for the holidays. I remember my first 2 Christmas's working retail. Boy were they exhausting. You'll have to post lots of new pictures of Roxie too!

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

It was toy store retail nightmare! LOL I was rescued just in the nick of time! I will be taking lots of pictures of Ms. Roxie now that I have my weekends free again! I'm so amazed that I have a 50 pound puppy and a standing Christmas tree! LOL

And thank you!


PS
Be nice to the people working retail.....there really isn't any more in the back, it's really not their fault it's sold out, and they are being worked to death for minimum wage. ;) ;)

I so hear you and second that admonition! Before becoming a paraeducator, I, too, have done my time in retail! (Aaaand in food-service... I've figured out why so many "starving artists" become waitstaff... It's so we don't have to take the "starving" part of that cliche too literally! Make friends with the cooks and they take good care of you! ;) )

My younger brother also spent a few years post high-school working the kids' section at Sears... Even this many years later, he still has a PTSD response to anything with Pokemon on it! :lol:
