Well I didn’t get the job I interviewed for, as you’ve probably guessed otherwise I would be waxing lyrical about it all over here. What’s annoying is that they gave it to someone internally. I h...

Me and Jay both got bad colds so didn’t go out on New Year’s Eve :o( Jay thought he had ‘flu, but it wasn’t, it was a bad cold. Headache, fever, congestion, aching muscles. True, some of the symp...

---

Christmas was a faily quiet affair. On Christmas Eve, me and Jay went out with his cousin Adam for a few drinks. Christmas morning I walked Roxy and Jay’s mam came round for breakfast. She’s a ca...

Wow I’ve had a busy few days. On Saturday, Jay’s cousin’s husband came round to install our new loft hatch. He had to bring Tina, Jay’s cousin, with him as she has multiple sclerosis and can’t be...

So apparently Prosebox was hacked last night and went down for several hours. Are you going the way of Open Diary, In The Wire and Bloop already?? Anyway, it’s been a while since I last wrote so ...

I can never think of a title for this bloody thing, but it won’t let me post without one. I had another bad day with the huskies on Friday. One of them managed to barge through the living room do...

A week after my fight with the wolves and I’m still not enjoying the work. I’m spending all day fighting with large, badly behaved dogs which is tiring me out, three hours a day driving all over ...

---

Thanks for all your lovely and supportive notes on yesterday’s entry. I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do but I said to Jay that if things don’t get any better with the huskies, then I’m...

---

I must have been an idiot to think I could do this. Most of my customers are huge, insane, badly behaved dogs that their owners can’t handle. I honestly don’t know why some people keep these anim...

I failed my Safe to Skate test yet again. So close on laps yet again. There’s another try on Wednesday and I’m determined to smash it this time. - I’ve cleaned my bearings so should have a smooth...

My sister tells me that it’s possible to link photos here directly from Facebook, so I’m going to try it as my regular hosting site is still playing silly buggers and not letting me upload anythi...

I’ve just had my first minor spat with a customer. About six weeks ago he paid for me to look after his dog for the day, then cancelled at the last minute and asked if I could do it next day inst...

I want to write all about Thursday and Friday just gone but the site I use for hosting my photos isn’t working and I don’t want to write about it without the photos! It was a really fun couple of...

Spooky Actor What have I done since I last wrote? I’ve had two more spooky actor shifts at the safari park. One more as the ghost bride and one as the Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts wasn’...

---

Thanks for all your supportive notes in my last entry, it really does mean a lot to have your support when I don’t have anyone else to talk to. He apologised of sorts. He still thinks he was righ...

This is how my birthday ended up: It started off well. On Friday night Jay took me out for a nice meal and cocktails in Birmingham. Today (my actual birthday) I opened the presents he bought me; ...

---

This week has been dead on the work front again. Apart from Roxy, I’ve again only had two appointments all week. Except for tomorrow when I’m going to be busy from 9:00am-3:30pm with five differe...

Jay explained what he meant when he said I didn’t know what I was doing. Turns out he wasn’t criticising me, he just has a habit of opening his mouth before his brain engages. He sent me a long e...

This week at work has been a lot quieter than last week. I’ve only had Roxy to walk each day and no other appointments which is quite worrying. I do, however, have two promising new enquiries. O...

I’ve been kicked off the medical trial for having stupid veins. So no money for me. Apparently we’re supposed to have a canula in each arm for them to take blood samples out of. My right arm has...
