Jacqui, it's not too bad. I mean, it pays better than what I got paid as a vet assistant AND I don't get bitten or fleas on me, or peed/pooped on.. so that's a bonus. I don't like having to ask every customer if they'd like to sign up for a target credit/debit card but that's just part of the job.

But, you do meet a lot of interesting people and the work isn't too hard as long as you're ok with standing long hours.

I'm making chicken enchiladas tonight and gave the dogs the raw chicken scraps/bones and they devoured them! I've thought of converting them to a raw diet and this just proves they agree, lol.

Do you have a quota you have to meet?

My sister worked at a store where you were written up if you couldn't get a certain number of people sign up for the cards.

Are the pictures really gone?


Yup they are gone.



first the pictures and now Ken, nooooooo, ahhhhhh!!
So are there any interesting things going on in the news lately? Ever since I dropped my cable tv and only watch apple, netflix & Hulu TV, I do not see the news at all. I follow my local news station on twitter but I haven't been on twitter in a long time.

Kinda. He hibernated to soon I think even though I raised the temps to know I him out of it but it didn't work and since waking up last month he has been lethargic and not digging down so I put him on a critical care slurry, special diet, and in his own set up and he kinda seemed better.
But I guess it didn't work. The vet had no idea what was wrong last time I took him in either.

You mention hibernated too soon. Do you mean that the gut track may not have had time to be evacuated before the slow down?


I'll be back in a bit. I've got to make a phone call but I'm procrastinating.

Interesting news?? Lil wayne had seizures and is in ICU.




I heard that on the radio. They speculated it was from some sort of codeine & alcohol overdose.

No I think he was way to small. He still had the pink line from his egg. And weighed about 29grams I think...I would have to check that. I know at time of death he weighed 24grams.

So I think he hibernated to early used all his preserves.
But it could have been a blockage. From day one he dug down and slept. At first I was waking him up every 4days to soak but after awhile I just let him sleep.

Yeah and I dont think these were the healthiest boxies either. I had lost one within a month of getting them and he was about the size of a quarter. But the other two I got with them are healthy and growing. One is growing really fast the other not so much so I will probably end up separating them in the hopes he will eat and grow more.
