Dear Diary Thursday....

Coal did so very, very good in his first day of Puppy Training! He had to endure two classes, one right after the other, to get caught up with his class. He was apprehensive, not very social with the other dogs, but he picked up all of his new lessons extremely quickly. And, by the end of the night, Coal and myself were so exhausted that one of us was on the floor asleep and the other trying hard NOT to fall asleep. It was a great first experience for Coal, Mommy and Daddy and I am looking forward to the rest of his schooling. And yes, he is going to be going to a lot of school, along with Helga.

Yesterday ended up being an okay day. I ended up talking with the Pitboss and it was a great time. She is over being hurt, worried that I am going to end up going somewhere and being bored, but regardless, the door is always open here for me, which I appreciate. The rest of my time here is going to be very emotional, but in a very positive way. I am going to miss this place more than I ever thought, and it is due to the people I work with. And it is going to be truly odd to go to work for the first time in a very long time, without seeing Toni's face. As it was so eloquently put on a "Friends" episode...."Some would say, it is the end of an era!".

As busy as my weekend is turning out, I am really looking forward to it. Dylan is going to be spending today vacuuming the house and then we are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate, and then probably go walk around the Gateway, which we have not done in a long time. It will be nice just to be able to be out and about without stress lingering over my shoulder.....I am not sure what that will feel like!
