In the past week I've experienced a second earthquake, smoke from a nearby mountain forest fire, a black widow in my back yard, and a $660 electric bill for having the A/C on in 100 degree weather. Oh, and we had a horse case, and I knew nothing about horses or their anatomy. I feel so behind, I just keep accumulating things that I want to read related to the cases but there's just no time for it all.

On the bright side, I have a wonderful new foster dog named Ollie. I love big dogs but all of the resuces in the area (or at least the ones who have a foster program) only take in small dogs. I think that's mostly because of the restrictions on large dogs in apartments around here. Either way, Ollie is a great dog. He's so well behaved. I taught him sit, stay, and come this week, still working on crate training. He does awesome on walks, I took treats and didn't even have to use them. It's going to be hard to give him up but hopefully he will find a home soon. He loves hiding bones around the house in my room mates closets or pillows. He also loves cuddling.

Ollie :)
