Petco Howl-O-Ween Costume Contest

I went to Petco to enter Louie & Lena in a costume contest. There were reporters, camera men & all sorts of news people there covering the grand opening & Halloween event. I guess the reporter liked me he put my picture on the front page of the article. Click on the link below to see it. Lena & Louie had a great time!

Dachtober Fest

It was my last weekend before school started back up & I decided to take Louie & Lena to this daschund meet-up. It was called the Dachtober Fest.



The festival was to celebrate Germany's October fest. So many people came out to the festival there where over 100 dachshunds and owners there. Louie had never seen so many dogs in his life...LOL

There was so much to do. There was bobbing for wieners you should of seen Lena boy was she bobbing to get those hot dogs...LOL , there was a costume contest and then there was a mini race. I entered Lena in the race and she won 1st place. I was so proud of her she made it into the finals but unfortunately a there was a little wiener with short legs was actually faster than her...LOL My friend Amber came along to help me out with the little terror (Louie) he didn't get to participate in any events...he just doesn't listen to well and he is always getting into trouble.

Here's a video of Lena winning the 1st race.

Here is a picture of Lena with her 1st place ribbon


Here are some pictures from the festival...

Finals...Finally

Ok this quarter came & went I can't believe I only have 2 quarters left & then my internship. It really amazes me that I have been away from home for a whole year already. I did super good this quarter & passed all my FINALS! When I went to school yesterday to check my grades I was jumping up for joy. I studied really hard & it definitely paid off. I have been keeping myself very busy between school & work.

I love my new job I have been getting lots of hands on experience in so many different areas and it has helped out with school like you wouldn't believe. I got to assist during Louie's surgery. Here is a picture of me holding up his testies...yes I neutered him, it was something that had to be done. (Maybe now he will stop marking his territory..LOL)



I love being a vet assistant it is a great feeling knowing that I take part in helping animals. I can't wait to graduate become a licensed Veterinary Technician, hopefully make it into UF's vet program continue school and someday become a Veterinarian & have my own practice.

Did I mention that I love my job!

New Job

After looking long & hard I finally found a place that I know I am going to love to work at. Today was my 1st day at work I was hired to be a Veterinary Assistant at a state of the art veterinary hospital. I am so glad that they picked me out of literally dozens of applicants. My boss said there was just something about me that made him decide I was the right one for the job.
I look forward to working there and learning all I can. Having hands on experience is going to help me so much in school . I will definitely keep you updated on how I am doing.
Here is a picture of where I spend my time when I'm not at school.

My Summer Break

I only get 2 weeks off for the summer but my mom surprised me with a cruise when I went back home. We went on a Carnival 6 day cruise to Key West, Grand Cayman & Ocho Rios Jamaica. I had so much fun especially swimming with the stingrays @ Stingray City. I loved hand feeding them it was so intense. It felt like a vacuum cleaner when they sucked up the squid out of my hand. They were very gently and friendly. They say if you kiss one you get 7 years good luck so me & my sisters planted one on Betsy. The locals have names for them as they see them so often and can tell them apart from each other.
When we were in Jamaica we went river tubing & climbed the famous Dunn River Falls that was so cool. It took us about an hour to get to the top of the falls.
Everything was so beautiful. I have attached a slide show my mother made for her blog it is of all the pictures from the cruise.
