I'm going home in ONE DAY! So excited to be back in California and to get my grub on! :D

What a Friday!

Today's Charlie's 13th birthday! I miss him so much and hope he's chasing squirrels and cats happily in doggy heaven right now. It's an understatement when I say I think about him daily and can see him in every dog I see. He is and will be my screen saver on my phone to remind me of the good times. I was just thinking the other day of how my life would be so different if my parents had given him up when we moved cross country from Georgia to California. I feel fortunate to have received his unconditional love and I will pass that on to the shelter dogs I work with weekly. My foster dog, Teco, is leaving today as well. She's going to reunite with her owner, who had to give her up because he wasn't able to take care of her for 3 months. As much as my selfish side want to keep her and make her mine, I've known all along since we got her that this was going to happen. I guess nothing really prepares you for it. She's such a good, obedient, and sweet puppy that it's going to be difficult to say goodbye. In the end, she's going home and I know her owner will treat her well. As if those sad thoughts aren't enough, I received a speeding ticket right after I pulled out from my apartment complex. I haven't decided whether I want to fight it in court or just pay the fine yet. Truth is, no one ever drives 25mph in Florida, especially in a residential area when people just want to get home or go to work. The Deputy Sheriff who caught me probably will have a field day to catch all the folks around. Got tons of reading for PBL to do. There's no time to think/do anything else. I will immerse myself in textbooks to forget and move on. /rant ends HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope yours is going much better than mine.
