So, I had a hard enough time telling my friends and family i was pregnant, today i had to be horribly embarrassed and tell a client at work...I'll set the scene: When we 'set' a room, we have to get the weight of the animal and a temperature, ask the owner why they're there that day, yada yada. Well the dog that i was setting was an 80 pound lab mix that wanted nothing more than to run out the front door, and the owner was an 'older' lady probably about my mom's age, who couldn't hold the dog still if her life depended on it, Now i'll admit many animals are timid about getting up on the scale, and i will admit it IS awkward, the scale is a flat silver thing that is shoved up against the wall and i'm sure many animals are confused as to why we want to have them stand next the wall...
So this dog wants NOTHING to do with the scale, and i KNOW i have to get her up there or else Dr. S has a hissy fit if we don't weigh the dogs before she does the exam, literally, she's made me walk back out there and tell the owner we HAVE to get a weight before she'll even look at the animal. So at this point the lady is all "I really don't think i can get her on there" and I very nicely and sweetly tell her that we NEED this weight despite how the dog feels. Now on a normal non-pregnant day, i would have literally hoisted this 80 pound dog up onto the scale and she would have been fine and we would have gotten the weight and it would of been over, but while the owner is struggling with the dog, all i can do is stand there and watch her and try to direct her on how to get the dog up on the scale, to which of course the lady is like, well unless you can get her up there, i can't do anything else...
And so comes the; "I'm sorry, i would love to help you get the dog up on the scale, but i'm pregnant and i can not lift an 80 pound dog" ohhhh, i wanted to die. I mean REALLY??!! I felt soooo stupid! This lady, who i don't even know i have to tell her this piece of my life just because she can't get her own dog up on the scale, i can't get it out of my mind, because of course she looks at me, and is like "Oh...." and is quiet, and weird, and i wanted to hide under a rug...How Embarrassing! Ah, i feel like a dork, what a life.

You want every dog..
I'm still completely computer illiterate, its so confusing to upload pictures on here, they never come out in the order i want, and having to upload the pictures before i start typing is even more confusing...someone has to come up with a better way!
Anywho...i never posted pictures of the terrariums that i made for christmas...i ended up only giving one of them away because i fell so much in love, haha.
The little fawn is my favorite.
Woah, what's that?!
