Do what you love.

I just came back from my second day shadowing Dr. Dowd. I've learned a lot in the 8 hours I've been watching her. I now know a lot of the causes for some of the problems my dog has every now and again. I saw my first cat client today, which was a change from the constant dogs. The vet techs are all nice, I haven't quite learned the names but there are two in particular that include me in a lot of the things they do. Perhaps this will be something I'd rather do. I think they don't have to go through the full length of vet school and it looks less stressful than diagnosing. I learned about hunting dogs and what goes on during the hunt. The big 'OH MY GOSH' moment was when Dr. Dowd revealed that she has 3 chickens! Almost just like me. My chickens woke me up at 7 today and I forgot to ask her how to get them to shut up.

Some issues arose with a few of my friends today. One in particular just pissed me off so much. She and I started hooping around the same time and while I know I was ecstatic about it, I don't think she felt the same way. We both attended a class together and I continued to practice while she was stuck without a hoop. She has been asking me to make her one but it's hard to find time and she doesn't talk to me- it seems like she only talks to me when she needs something. I can read a lot of friends and judge how often they check up on their friends and she doesn't ever check up on our friendship. She is now pursuing hooping for her theater project. She's going to buy a hoop (finally... although it has only been maybe 2-3 months since I started, but it seems like forever ago) and learn. I have nothing against her learning hooping because I LOVE it when people have similar interests, however it feels forced. I want her to love it too, I want everyone to burst with happiness. I guess I'll see where this goes. 

The three things I love:

Animals
Hooping
Food

--Make sure animals and food are NOT intertwined.
