Monday, Monday, Monday…and Groundhog’s Day

The groundhog saw his shadow…boo!  Ok, so Austin hasn’t had a very cold winter minus a few nights, but still, I’m ready for the constant stream of warm weather to roll on in.  I can’t help it.  I love summer!  I feel the sun on my face, and it makes me want to get active.  Winter makes me want to curl up under a blanket with a heater blowing on my face.

I subbed middle school today – 8th grade science.  It was an ok day.  I really like subbing for this teacher all of the time.  I actually know some of the students, and they know me.  The teacher even called on my way home to see how my day went which I thought was very nice.  I got some of my observation forms signed by the principal so I’m only lacking 2 now!  I should have these completed by now but better late than never.

After work I ran over to Animal Trustees to pick up Atley’s X-Rays to give to the shelter.  It was only 2 miles from the school which was convenient.  I couldn’t believe what they show.  I was just floored.  How can this dog walk?  Dogs must be such resilient creatures to have normal lives with a condition like this.  I was sad to the point of wanting to cry.  I was also even more outraged by the original vet who decided he was “healed”.  I really think he needs the surgery, and I hope he gets it soon.  I hope he goes on to be a very happy dog and live a long, happy life.  I’m going to the shelter tomorrow to see about possibly getting our money back or services.  If they aren’t going to give our money back then I suppose I’ll be adopting a cat.  I think that would be fine.  What’s one more?  🙂

Here are Atley’s X-Rays:
