Miracle Lola
On a Friday, my usual day off, I stroll out of bed and notice the hamster cage was hacked into. Immediate panic set in. Lola. Is. Dead. I was terrified to even start looking for her, I didn't want to find her dead body. I finally got enough nerve (after several frantic phone calls to both parents) to start looking but no luck. I locked both cats downstairs and headed out for the day. I just couldn't stand being in the house knowing there might be my precious dead hamster somewhere. Besides even if the small chance she was alive she'd be sleeping since it was daytime. We looked all day and all night and all day Saturday but nothing. I was sweeping downstairs and did find little poopies but didn't think much of it. I locked both cats overnight downstairs hoping the it'd give Lola a chance to stay alive if she was alive. Saturday night I get a phone call saying the my dad found Lola DOWNSTAIRS ALIVE. He was watching a movie when he noticed my cat, Jack, stalking something over by the computers. There was poor lil Lola. She seemed perfectly fine, just super thirsty. She's a miracle hamster that's for sure! I guess God cares for even the little guys!
Texas Trip
Haven't blogged in a bit and just wanted to update to whomever checks my blog! I was planning on moving to Texas the end of September. I made a trip out there to get a job and apartment lined up a couple weeks before then so that I could put in my two weeks at work etc. My mother and I drove to Texas (13 hr drive) on a Wednesday and left Sunday morning. I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was for I was smacked in the face with how hard it was to find an apartment. Austin is a college town and most of the apts were taken since school was already in session. Amy (my sis-in-law) was a HUGE help and even recommended the same apartment locator lady that she used a year earlier. The lady I think was going through a rough period in her life for it didn't go so well with her. Since my income is based on commission is it difficult to really get a firm price range for an apartment. My job interview was alright. Not super crazy about the job (since it's so different from Kennelwood) They had me groom a black standard poodle with NO clippervac system (a system used by few groomers that makes grooming faster/easier/cleaner) so there was A LOT of scissor work! I was hired on the spot so I must have done an alright haircut. (The dog I later found out was one of the other groomer's dog) I had seven people stare at me while I groomed this dog. It was very nerve-racking! Since I still have a lease here in STL I decided to stick out the rest of my lease here and then pick up things in Texas. For now I'm saving up money like crazy. The trip to Texas made me realize I didn't have enough money to move and I needed to wait out my other lease here. It was nice to see Tom, Amy, Joni and Jackson though! I really missed them!

Meet Lola!
This is Lola! She is a teddy bear hamster and I do adore this little girl! She hasn't bitten me yet and seems to have an overall good temperment.
Jack's 1st Birthday
Birthday Dinner!
Jack-when we first got him (4-5months old) Me & Jack
My dear baby jack,
You may act like you don't care about me but I know deep down inside you do love me as much as I love you. You are such a blessing in my life and so grateful to have you a part of it. From the first day I got you I knew we were going to be grand friends. You are for the most part very well behaved and clean. Thank you for always cleaning up after your brother when he doesn't cover up his poopies very well in the litterbox. Thank you for always reminding me when the food/water bowl is empty. I feel like you sometimes take care of me. I will always think you're the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. This first year was amazing and look forward to the next 20+. I love you so much my baby boy. Happy Birthday!!!
Love, Mom.
