Wow! It's been a while since I have updated this journal! In case anyone out there remembers me how about I update you on what I've been up to in the last few years.

To begin with I got a boyfriend. We've been dating for 2 and 1/2 years and are very much in love. Sometimes I can't stand to be around us because we can get rather lovey dovey.

The boyfriend has two dogs, Josie and Daisy who are really cool dogs. Daisy is a black and tan lab mix and Josie is a blue-tick coonhound mix.

In my world, Gypsy, my service dog, needs to retire :-(. She has some problems with her knees and the vet tells me that it's in her best interests to slow it down as soon as possible. So Gypsy is no longer doing many of the things I need help with. We are managing but I need to find another service dog soon.

To that end I contacted Phoenix Assistance Dogs and they have preliminarily matched me with a young dog named Cooper. I'll be driving down to them on Wednesday to meet him and see if we might be a match. If you want to follow what happens with us check us out over at Service Dog Cooper

I'm about half way to a BA in mathematics education. I'll be attending Southern Connecticut State University in the fall. My parents are helping me out by allowing me to stay in their house while I complete my education which is very nice of them, but very stressful for me.

I'm still reading and enjoying fandom and fanfiction, though I'm trying to find some good Valdemar fanfic and so far no luck. FFN has very little of any quality. I've been writing a bit (HP/Valdemar cross over) but I've not put anything together of any worth. I'm fairly certain that I won't be doing much active in facfic so I understand if many of you choose to unfriend me.

In the future when I update it will be mostly about my journey to a new service dog.

So Gypsy and I are heading off to the beach. We will be gone from tonight on to next Saturday (the 19th) and we will probably then spend the next few days back on the job search and trying to catch up with the world of fiction. Now everyone play nice and please don't let the world of writing go all splodie bits again!

If anyone posts any fic or reads anything, would you mind horribly posting a note here? I'm afraid I'm gonna miss something :-(.

( Lots of Real Life Babbling, read for an AHA!! moment )

So, it has come to my attention that i have been neglecting my journals.

I'm gonna try to keep up with my journal more. Hopefully I can post some recs soon and maybe I’ll have a bit of fic to share. Maybe.

I was wondering if anyone out there is at all interested in some of my dog stories that I have been writing about my time as an ACO and in animal rescue stuff.

I was wondering about the net looking for fics to read and i stumbled across this test . . . I think it speaks for itself
