Mi - Congrats on the puppies...they are so adorable...
Puppies? I love puppies. Back in the day when I was raising and showing dogs one of my favorite things to do was rub the belly of my pregnant female and feel the puppies kick. Birthing puppies, I love the smell, the wet wiggly little things and when it's all over I love the milky smell of mom and her babies. It's almost like being next to God helping new little lives come into the world.
Cashews? Pass them over here along with a citrus ice tea, if you'd be so kind. I just dropped by for a snack and a night cap...and some good old fashioned conversation.
I've had a very long day. I worked 5.5 hours without a break and working in a pet store isn't just standing at a cash register ringing up sales...at least not in our store. We bag all our own small animal and bird seeds and that's what I did today. I'm not use to lifting 50# bags anymore...or bags of dog food and carrying them out to people's cars.
And the questions we get asked and the answers we have to know...I'm not a vet or vet tech but the customers think all the employees are.
Tomorrow I have to file dog food cards, a big stack from June 30 forward while I take care of the whole store while the manager runs around taking inventory so she can place our orders for the stuff we need later this week. That, and try to keep an eye on 19 kittens running lose in the store so no one tries to steal one, and price in any orders that may be delivered, and answer the phone...I hate ringing telephones almost as much as I hate screaming kids having a temper tantrum because momma won't buy them a kitten. It's a small store but boy is it understaffed.
Glad I really love my job though, even if the pay is lousy. There is satisfacton in having customers know you by name and value your knowledge, seek you out...
Now if only the 'Buys a House' war would end this would be a perfect world to come to...so, come on, I'm buying...robo tenders set up a new round and put out more cashews and maybe a few peanuts in the shell....
