If you want tips on cheap, DIY agility equipment, shoot me a message. I've put together jumps and weave poles, have a tunnel and a few other misc things. Used to have a table and dog walk (Slightly pricier), but didn't move them out to OK with me.
 
That would be awesome! I have two people who would build jumps for me but with the rest I'm not so sure. I'd really like to get a tunnel soon!

I wasn't going to make it because I'm trying to watch portions/calories and I didn't go to the gym today, but the roommate and bf peer pressured me into it and I just couldn't resist.
 
Really thankful for having such a supportive, wonderful man in my life and I felt like obnoxiously exclaiming it. :shrug:

Thanks!

Made banana cupcakes for work. Going to my fav restaurant after work with a few of my random friends. The only way it would be better is if I got to sleep in.
 
I'm pretty sure I got an interview for the job I applied to on Monday. 🙂
 
Exam finished, dog park pup exhaustion completed, 2 beers in, now time for a nap to recharge for cramming for the next one.
 
Couch to 5k week five, day one: I ran (well, jogged) for eight minutes straight. I'm not particularly athletic... I don't know if I've ever ran for eight minutes before. Even when I played soccer hard core it was stop and go, stop and go. Feeling pretty good. 🙂

Just advice but I would be careful with jumps and teeters and anything else high-impact for a little bit longer with her. You can teach foundations of agility sure but high impact stuff and growing joints in a large breed dog don't mix well.

I have no idea how old the dog is, but would agree with this

Nommm, Funfetti cake. 😍😍

Have you ever had/made funfetti cookies? They are soooo good and really easy to make. Just take a box of funfetti cake mix, 2 eggs, 4 tbs butter, and 1/4 cup water and mix together. Spoon on to cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. We make them regularly in our apartment and they go fast!

I haven't made them using the box of cake mix, but they have boxes that say like "cookie mix" which I'm sure is the exact same thing and I've used that. I undercooked them a little but they were still amazing.


And another rave: our cable magically decided to start working today. My roomie and I just switched to Comcast and they have a non contract binding deal right now for high speed internet, basic cable and 6 months of HBO for free.

We couldn't get it to work for like a week or so and it decided to start working today just in time for the Super Bowl!
 
We're mostly doing obedience and very low jumps so she learns the command and hand sign instead of jumping high. Just every once in a while we're doing a higher jump for pictures. Haha

I'm not planning on doing anything big for a while. We'll probably take a beginners agility class in march but nothing serious besides that until probably at least the summer.

I know enough to know better about that stuff than to do anything stupid, but I also still wanna do some research on it because its really interesting to me. 🙂
 
Had a crazy afternoon at work.. But I'm going to dinner/drinks with one of my best friends to Celebrate my Mizzou acceptance!!! Yaaay!
 
Officially have two acceptances and two interview invites. 😍 Will be spending three weekends out of town at visitation/interview weekends in the next month. Busy busy~

It's an awesome feeling. 😳 I'm so happy right now.

How wonderful that you can enjoy your interviews since you've already got acceptances! Congratulations on a job well done. Then you just have to figure out where you want to spend the next four years 😉👍
 
My husband got me flowers for my birthday and used two of the three types we had in our wedding (hydrangeas and ridonculous aka ranunculus...). He also got me a metal veterinarian business card holder. I'd say he did a pretty darn good job!

Forgot to mention I'm not pre-vet. 😛 Just a lurker who's been here a long time. I'm going for my PhD instead. 😛 They do it the fancy way. Pay airfare, hotel, etc.

It's still a hard decision. 🤣

My bf is going to a (job) interview this weekend as well, and his stuff is all paid for, too. I'm so jealous of y'all. Meanwhile I have to pay for my crazy whirlwind 3-schools-in-2-weeks adventure. :laugh:

Ugh did that too. Kansas state... back to NY, Western... back to NY, Florida... then drove to Auburn... back to NY. Very expensive few weeks. Thank goodness for supportive co workers.

Well that's even better!! Do you plan to stay in research or become a professor?

Interviewing for a Ph.D. program is really more like interviewing for a job anyway.

Want to do both. 🙂 Do research and teach a bit. The profs at my current school have a pretty good balance and I like how they do it.

I would love to get a PhD after DVM just so I can teach in my later years. I found in undergrad I enjoyed helping other students. Nothing like having a varied life to keep things entertaining. Of course, having unwilling students presents a fun challenge 🙄
 
I just finished a 3 credit hour class (including the final) in the first month of school and ended up with a 99%. I'm feeling pretty accomplished. Yay for online/self-paced classes. 🙂

Or the nightmare students...as the profs say, 20% of the students cause 80% of the problems.

Im leaving my house now to go into work on my day off to go into work and watch an amputation of a nectrotic 4 month old puppy's leg. So stoked!

I must start my "YOU CANT FOSTER, DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT" mantra with myself.

Oh man, some of my biggest heartbreaks have been the couple of foster puppies that I couldn't keep. If there's multiple, it's like get the eff outa my house y'all are nasty and rambunctious after a couple days. But the singleton that gives you the puppy face and thinks you're the greatest thing in the world is irresistable, especially when they start turning out to be easily trainable and keep giving you that "aren't you proud of me! I can sit and stay!" tail wag.

Totally agree. I am pretty darn good about keeping foster babies in a different area of my brain so I don't get attached, but every once in a while it's hard. My little cleft palate poodle is a little bit of a struggle, so I pawned her off on her new mom until her surgery.
 
Went in at 3 am this morning to do a C-section on our cow. It. was. awesome. And the baby is 84 pounds of bull calf cuteness. Trying to stay awake until our next post-op check at 11 am and then crashing for a few hours to get some sleep 🙂

Oh my goodness it is so hard to get rid of them some times. I have an orphaned bottle babe kitten that tested FIV pos when she was 6 wks.I had had her since she was only a few das old and it killed me to think that she was unadoptable. I ended up keeping her until 12 weeks and she retested neg, got spayed and luckily went home with someone I know and still keeps in touch.

I also recently had 2 bottle baby pups that I raised from about 1 week old.....one of them died in surgery and to this day its probably the most painful thing I've had to get through working with animals. Ugh. But the other one got adopted so yay!

We had one in our clinic the other night... Bull calf culprit again! He was ~86 lbs. Poor mama! took 1 1/2 hours to sew her parts back together, but she had her boy next to her to keep her attention :biglove:
