Kipper is a very special boy!  He is a puppy (<1 year in age) & a Corgi mix, and I personally think he may have some Daschaund in him too, since he is so long & skinny & has a similar face. I picked Kipper up at 8:15AM, and he came BOUNDING out of the back, without a leash, straight toward me.  He was so … Continue reading Kipper– the perfect puppy!

Wow!  What a great day! I picked up Sunny this morning just before 9!  She bounded out from the back with the animal clinic assistant and right toward me, basically exclaiming “TA-DA!  Look Paige!  I don’t have a harness this time!”  Sunny’s whole mood was different without the harness!  What a game changer. We started off with a short ten minute walk around the apartment … Continue reading Saturday with Sunny!

Now that the news is out, I can finally talk about my weekly “Grandparent call”! Last Friday, right after I got the news about my new job, I called my Grandpa because I knew he would be very proud of me & very excited.  While I was excited to obviously tell everyone, I was particularly excited to tell him for a special reason. It was … Continue reading Telling Grandpa about my job!

I just got my dog assignment for this weekend (Sunday), and although I am bummed that I won’t get to spend Saturday making up for my bad-dog-caretaker-ness to Sunny, I am excited to spend it with this little guy…. Introducing Kipper! We will be at Pet Club in Gilbert from 11-12:30AM, but we have from 7:30AM-4PM to spend together, if we’d like.  Apparently she is … Continue reading Kipper!

Oh, for those of you who have not seen– this is Sunny.  She truly is a very good dog!  We were having the best time, and then she just got spooked.  It will go better next time! Continue reading Sunny

I have lots of big things to update you all on! First, CHOICES.  As I’ve touched on briefly in many of my posts, I spent most of my Thursday & Friday this past week delivering the CHOICES program at a nearby high school, Hamilton.  (I have many ASU friends that went there and even an Alpha Phi sister who is completing her student teaching currently … Continue reading Sunday update!

I watched my first movie for the month– “Sleepless in Seattle!”  When I had made my resolutions list, I had outlined the movies & books I planned to dig into each summer, and this movie hadn’t been on my list.  However, after watching the recent re-do of “Footloose” on New Year’s Eve– after having never seen the real “Footloose”– when I saw “Sleepless in Seattle” … Continue reading Sleepless In Seattle!

Hi everyone! I have been in a so-so mood all day because I was procrastinating on finishing my Intel FOCAL (which was already supposed to be turned in last week– oops), but now that I have finished it, I am relieved and can be super happy! Since I have a million resolutions to catch up on, I decide to buy a “student planner.”  Granted, it has spots … Continue reading Yay- I finished my FOCAL!!

Thanks to my good friend, Alix, I’ve realized that my resolution to lose 10 pounds could seem a little startling. In reality, I used to be about 15 pounds lighter until the last few years.  I know that by committment to a healthy lifestyle this year– running my 1000 miles, keeping up my healthy eating habits, avoiding the Intel food cube, standing at my desk … Continue reading I’m not psycho….
