Not as much as I thought

Hello people. As most of you know (unless you've been under a rock), I recently got a new job. I have one thing to say about it. I LOVE IT! No, seriously. I love my job. I don't even see it as a job, really. It's just a place I get to go to 5 days a week. It's seriously just amazing. The dogs (and cats) are adorable and I love them all. The only downside is the commute. Takes an hour to get there, but there are so many routes I can take, and each one is so pretty. I have learned new things about animals, every day. It will definitely help with getting my sanctuary center, one day. We are currently learning "fear free" techniques, which will really help with the rehabilitated dogs at my sanctuary center. I'd like to stay at this job a few more years before starting my place, though.

Amelia had her first therapist appointment this past week. I'm really hoping it helps with her attitude and not listening to me. They do this type of therapy where you and the child are in a room, playing, and they're in another room with a 2way mirror. They watch how you interact with your child and how your child reacts to you. They then give you ideas of what to say and/or do, all via an ear piece. I'm really excited to try this. Her therapist seems really nice. Unfortunately, Mia was all "mommy mommy mommy" at her appointment, so she didn't really talk to him or anything. He's going to help me find someone to talk to, as well. Which we all know is needed.
