I will lend to you for awhile
a puppy, God said,
For you to love him while he lives
and to mourn for him when he is gone.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe for two or three
But will you, till I call him back
take care of him for me?                                                

He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and when his job is over
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.                                                   

I cannot promise how long that he will stay,since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again.

I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done,"
For all the joys this pup will bring,
the risk of grief you'll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness
Will you love him while you may
And for the happiness you'll know forever grateful stay.

But should I call him back
much sooner than you've planned
Please brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
If, by your love, you've managed
my wishes to achieve,
In memory of him that you've loved,
cherish every moment with your faithful bundle,
and know he loved you too.

 It has been a while since I have posted cause so much has been going on and I just havent really felt like it.  Okie...gotta run.....

Until next entry...hopefully it wont be too long from today.

Well...I'm back from vacation and I wish I could stay in CT.  I'm just so tired of the city.  I have this strong feeling that in a few years (10) I will move to CT for good.  I really love that place.  Anyway...I enjoyed my vacation, the Pooh and Dippity had fun.  We went fishing, long drives night running (Dippity) and did a little gambling at Foxwoods.  Here are some pics of Dippity in CT.....
                                                                                                                                        
     This is where I want to live.....                                                                                                                    











As you can see Dippity had fun...I just had fun watching him run....he is a fast runner.  Dippity is going to be 2 next week.  That's the Pooh holding him for the shots.

*sighs*  I wish I was still there.....Until next entry.....

Well I am going on vacation tomorrow.  I am leaving to CT with The Pooh and Dippity.  It should be nice.  I'm still depressed...I've been depressed now about 2 weeks.  All over Jina.  But you know what...I feel a bit relief that she is finally resting.  I visited her grave today and I didnt get too emotional.  I just called her name and said that I loved her.  

Earlier I went out to do some errans before I leave tomorrow and I just had to stop by a pet shop.  I saw a little black, white and brown chihuahua.  The owner let me hold her and guess what...I melted, broke down and cried.  She just wagged her little tail and kissed me.  It was so sweet.  I wanted her right there and then.  I want another dog so bad but my parents are very adamant that they dont want one.  They say that it was a hard exprience and they dont want to go through it again.  I agree it was hard but u know what...I would do it all over again.  Dogs are the best creatures to have in your lifetime.  

I really want one.  A little girl that can go with me for car rides, snuggle with me on Sunday afternoons (my nap time).  I really want them to say yes...shit WTF...I freakin feel like a 10yr old asking mommy and daddy for a dog.  I am determined to sway them.  If they dont oh well.....I'm bringing one home.  

Anyway...Imma go now..I'm reading this book that I would like to finish before I leave tomorrow but I dont see it happening.  I'm taking the book with me and read it when I get a chance, that is if Dippity lets me.  We'll see.  

Well...I'm off to sleep.  

Until next entry...another day another entry....bye

Well...today is my aniversary...my B-Day.  I'm 34 today.  I dont have anything special planned...just work and go home.  I usually dont do anything for my B-Day.  It always quiet.  Maybe next year when I turn 35 I may do a blow out.  Then again I said that when I turned 21, 25 and 30.  Did I do a blow out?  Nope...nothing..nada.  Lets see next year.  

Anyway, I am at work now.  I couldnt post anything last night since the phone lines went down.  Yes I still use dial-up.  I cant afford all of those things like cable, DSL or whatever is out now.  It still works just fine.  

Well...gotta run..until next entry.

Yesterday I recieved a call from St. John's U. for an interview scheduled Tues 4/1.  I'm so happy that I dont know what to do with myself.  See...I applied for grad school to attain my IMLS degree.  This is so important.  This school has a full scholarship for 2 1/2 yrs.  You know whats that...no tuition for that time.  This saves me so much money!!  Grad school is so expensive.  When I went to grad school about 7 or 8 years ago, between myself and my mother we paid my school.  I took out no loans.

I so hope this goes through. *crosses fingers*  I never really wanted to have 2 Masters but oh well.  

I'm going to The Pooh's house tonite.  I may do laundry today.  I'm sure he has alot of clothes to wash, its been about 2 weeks that laundry has not been done.  

Gotta run...until next entry

I was thinking of the two dogs in my life and I just wanted to share their pictures.  They are not so clear since they were taken from my cell phone.This is Jina my old lady, shes 16yrs old and still the baby.  Here she is taking one of her several daytime naps.  She sleeps all day and at night she paces around the house.  I remember when she was young...oh was she so energetic.  There was no way in stopping her.  Now she just looks at you with those cloudy eyes and wags her tail.  I remember in the mornings she would come to everyone's bedroom, jump on the bed and kiss you goodmorning.  *sighs*  I miss those morning kisses.

This character here with his head in the potatoe chip bag is Dippity.  The Pooh's dog.  He's 21 months old.  I was eating potatoe chips and he kept barking and jumping on me.  So I just gave him the bag.  Note how he has his head all the way deep in the bag.  There were a few crumbs inside and he just had to get to them!!!  When he finished with the bag he had crumbs all over his face.

I was just thinking about these two.  They are so special in each of their own ways.  Dogs just steal my heart and when they take it, its theirs forever.

 Well..I'm working today overtime 10-3.  I like those hours I still have the rest of the day for me.  I'm at another location to cover for staff shortage.  A coworker at this location asked me why was I given those hours 10-3.  I explained to her that those were the hours I asked for and I have things to do this afternoon.  Even if I didnt have anything to do this afternoon, why should I work til 5 or 6 when its sort of my day off.  

See...she is a very strange individual.  Around her you have to tread with caution.  She goes and calls the union to complain about how various locations are short staffed, how people that were sched to work today called out and left some locations extremely short and how she has to be at the desk for more that 4 hours.  She is not a person to be around too much.  Talk to about superficial things ok....then STAY AWAY!!!

I'm looking at how she did the scheduling and in my opinion its all wrong.  At my location there were occassions that we had only 2 of us and we worked it out a way that it doesnt seem that you're at a particular location for an extended period.  At my location we work fairly when it comes to covering the desk.  Oh well...whatever...some people just dont know how to plan properly.  Another thing, okay you are short staffed then make due.  Fine complain but what are you going to accomplish by complaining.  Nothing...the work still has to be done. 

I'm glad I am only here for a few hours and I am not near her too much.  But like I say I STAY AWAY FROM HER.  Something is just not right with her and I definately dont trust her.

Gotta run....until next entry.....

Nothing is wrong with my ankle solely a pulled tendon or ligament.  In either case my ankle will be fine.  *sighs*
Problem and worry over.  On to the more significant worries.......
