My sister got her second doberman when she was between jobs--she had two months home with him and he really was one of the best trained dogs she ever had because she had so much time to spend training him before she started her new job. But it just worked out that way.
I definitely could see taking a week off to get get a dog settled at home but three months seems a bit...excessive.
Most attendants have crazy amounts of jobs.
wish I didn't know what that was like, Kat.

Yeah, I think between the cats and NewDog needing extra time to stop being afraid of me (or anyone new), the week is kind of necessary, but I think more than that would make me stir crazy.
Gah Kat, how maddening about the nurse! I'd be livid. Which wouldn't fix anything, I realize that, but still!
Is it Jesse who does the Good Stuff tumblr?

Seconded. That is the happiest bat boy ever. (Also, I suspect Todd Frazier is a wizard.)
Aw, that's great.
Stupid non-problems: I signed up for a cooking class with my coworker that's tonight, but now I have to go to a work thing after work. But it won't run that late, and the class is until 9, and I did pay $75 non-refundable dollars for it, but now I don't even want to go! Bleh.
We are supposed to get another 4-8 inches of snow tonight. And I just realized CJ doesn't have school tomorrow, regardless of what actually falls. He is going to be so tweaked if the snow levels are snow day worthy without getting an extra day off.
I have been pretty livid. But K totally yelled at the agency. The problem is we can't send her to school without a nurse. While Grace is healthy and stable and the rest, we don't leave her with people who have not been trained because if she has a mucous plug, she could asphyxiate.
Sigh. I'm just too tired to fight and, since I'm not loving the nurse anyway, I do not want to go to bat to keep her. Does she have another job? Yes, I believe so. She also has parents, grandparents and sister in the area (who I would have bummed a ride from by now!)
That is a mess, Kat! I would yell at someone, too.
