    A Change for Me

    This week I unexpectedly lost my 4-day-a-week job. I am okay, not to worry, and I will let you all know when I figure out what is next.

    I just wanted to let my Pet Talk family know.

    Miss Hoppy is a bit confused by my being home during the day, but appreciates the extra petting.

    yeah I heard that yesterday morning, was surprised. I'm sorry.

    at least more books to finish for now & our little dear miss hoppy gets more attention, especially raisins from you! that must be one of reasons why that door closed.

    thoughtful hugs to both
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..

    I'm sorry to hear about this. But I'm sure you'll find something even better when your ready. For now enjoy spending some extra time with Miss Hoppy and relaxing for a bit.

    I'm so sorry to hear this Karen. Remember, when one door closes, another one opens. Maybe this is a sign for you to relax a bit before starting the next job search. Prayers coming from Canada.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    On the bright side, you can spend more time on PT! and playing with Miss Hoppy, like you said. I know it's always kind of distressing to lose a job. Hoping something comes along that you'll enjoy. Chill out while you can!



    I've been Boooo'd!

    I agree with slick
    Remember, when one door closes, another one opens.
    I think it's very true, and wish you the best!

    Sorry to hear that, Karen. I hope you find something better than you had. And, may we now please have a photo thread of Miss Hoppy?

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I had worked at that job, starting part-time, almost 17 years ago, and had been full-time for about 10 years. When I started, the magazine was just inside the Boston area, and didn't even have a website. It is now a national publication, with a website that draws visitors from all over the world.

    A photo thread of Miss Hoppy depends on HER cooperating. Sigh. I will try - if she cooperates, I'll post the results!

    Karen, I am so very sorry! You definately have the talent to strike out on your own and show them a thing or two!

    I have to agree with others that have said it's their loss and what were they thinking? A person like you will always excel Karen. There's no doubt about it. You and Miss Hoppy just sit back, relax, and wait for your new and better life to begin. (((((HUGS)))))
    p.s. Daisy is as cooperative as Miss Hoppy with the picture taking I see


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Wow what a shocker. I bet you were stunned, I know I would be. Places just don't care about their workers like they used to....it's really a shame.
    And like someone else said...It's their loss for sure.

    I hope that you'll find something else you like doing even better

    Karen I am so sorry to hear this, but maybe there is something even better ahead for you.

    Meanwhile, I am sure Miss Hoppy is very happy to have the extra time with you.


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!
