a random collection of happenings

I'm currently trying Indy on this pre-made raw food for dogs to attempt to, ahem, firm up some bowel movements. It kind of looks like soup and actually smells pretty delicious. Plus all the ingredients are actual ingredients and not sick nasty chemicals. He is doing awesome on it! Right now it's just a couple of spoonfuls with his kibble but he is digging in with gusto and seems to (finally) be putting on some weight. He's actually currently licking his empty bowl.

He lost a pound as a result of diarrhea-gate 2010, which is a lot of weight for his size. The breeder thought he would hit 25 lbs, but at 7 months he is only 13 lbs. I'm guessing he will hit about 20 but won't actually grow that much bigger. He's a bit of a skinny-minny still.

On other Indy-related news, I'm planning on signing him up for a "pre-agility" class at this new facility within walking distance of my apartment. It's called the Zoom Room and is pretty competitively priced as well as insanely convenient. The pre-agility class is only $35 and would give me a taste of: A.) What Indy needs to know before legit agility classes, B.) If agility is actually something I want to try with him and C.) Whether he can handle a group class. I'm pretty excited about the potential of competing. I feel like it might be something really fun for me to do with him that would really challenge him mentally and physically AND make him a better trained dog.

LSAT class is going pretty well. It's kind of hard to sit in one spot for 4 hours and I hate driving downtown in the rush hour traffic, but the instructor is pretty great and I think I really have a chance to do very well on this retest. My diagnostic was a 167 after not looking at anything LSAT related for 8 months. A 167 surpasses where I was hoping to hit and makes me feel pretty good about getting in to some great schools with scholarships. Hopefully I can continue to improve.

My job stinks. I really really hate it. My boss is a nice guy, but not really the best boss. And by not really the best boss, I mean he sucks. I'm discovering I'm a pretty good salesperson and when I actually have things to do it's not that bad. The bad part is just standing...for hours...doing nothing. I get that maybe I should be grateful that I don't have much to do, but the time feels like it's stuck in molasses. I can't wait to get a better job after the LSAT. Currently I'm hoping for either something working with dogs (yeah, yeah I know) or something more related to my sociology degree. There was an advertisement in the paper for an adoption/foster placement position that sounded incredible and I'm actually qualified. We'll see.
