I've had this happen before,.
When I was younger, every year me & my sister would go sleepover at my friends house(she had friend who lived there too). One year, we all watching a movie, I think it was the titanic. All of sudden, we heard flushing. All of us were in the same room, & no one was in the bathroom. I was scared to death.Turns out to just be my friends Dad.
We had no clue he was home. We heard no footsteps, no door close, & no garage open.Plus, he came home earlier then he was suppose to.
Seriously, if you're going to come early, tell people beforehand, so people don't start freaking out.

Dog food = expensive.
I just bought a months worth of food for both dogs: $109.15. That was the cheapest I could find it. *sigh* And what is killing me is that I'm not even buying "premium" food! Granted, Cynder is throwing the balance for a loop because she can only eat canned food and that's $67...whereas before her health issues she maybe cost $15 a month to feed. *sigh*
Stressing about money is annoying. (Aka, really freaking wish I could find a job I actually will enjoy doing.)

Ugh. I swear I have the dumbest co-workers sometimes.
One trips over Patton any time he is there. It's like, come on. There are always dogs here, pay the f attention to where you're walking!
Stepped on him HARD today, I heard a huge squeal and turn around and he's limping.
Throw some treats around to watch him move, he's limping. He sits and holds the paw up.
I ask, "How hard did you step on him?" to get the reply "Hopefully not too hard?" No apology.
I can't bring my dog to work where he's allowed because you're too stupid to watch where you're going and I don't want him hurt. Great. UGH.
He's fine now, hopefully nothing lasting. He's 45lbs, it's not like he's under your feet, and he has a harness on that makes noise - WTF.
Ok, that felt good to get out.

Haha I just joined that group and was thinking the same thing!
My vent for today...
Ever since I started working with Cobain (and of course the other dogs I have accumulated over the years), friends, family, and on-lookers have always said "you should totally get a job training or as a vet, you would love it and you're so great with animals!"
I always responded that I didn't want to make my passion into my job as it would suck the love for the work out of me - and that I didn't want to do the crazy schooling for a vet.
Well.
After 3 months of being a *volunteer* training assistant for our local rescue, it's starting to seem a lot like work. It's stressful, it's starting to exhaust me, and take the fun out of things. I feel like I'm being guilted into things I'm not comfortable with.
I got to the point today that I actually thought about backing out. No more dog stuff. No more classes, no more forums to talk dog things, no more.
Of course I would keep the dogs I have now, but after them who knows. Probably easy "pet" breeds that don't require the exercise of a Border Collie.
Of course that will never happen. But I really hate this feeling, and it's almost scaring me.

Ouch Mandypug, that's a nasty burn!
My boyfriend does not have his driver's license and when asked why he doesn't have his license or start the licensing process he says he just "doesn't want to". I am so beyond frustrated having this conversation with him. When I buy a car, he can expect ZERO rides and pick ups until he gets his license.
