Remington's Rundown

Hey Doodle Lovers! It's Remington Bear here!

I was on a run with Mom the other night and a neighborhood dog attacked me!

Mom and I were so scared when the dog started to chase me around and try to bite me! It was even more scary because the dog's owner took forever to come help us and get their dog off me. 

Luckily, after Mom got me home and checked me over really well she discovered that I wasn't hurt, just covered in slobber!! YUCK!

Mom did call the non emergency line and had an officer come to our house to do a report. The officer took all our information and then was going over to the neighbor's house to have a little chat with the owner about their dog and the responsibilities of being a good dog owner. 

I'm just glad I'm back home with Mom and Dad... safe and sound!

I know that Mom and Dad are worried about how I will react next time I come into contact with another dog. They have heard different stories about how a dog attack can ruin a dog forever. I don't think that will be the case with me, but I'll see how I feel during my Therapy Dog visit tonight. I know Mom will be watching me very closely.

Time to sign off... WIGGLES!

30 Before 30 - Organize my Entire House

I had four days off between my old job and my new job. During that time I had two things that I wanted to get accomplished... clean and organize my entire house and plant flowers for the summer. I bought the flowers, but didn't get them planted... BOO! But I did get my house cleaned and organized... HORRAY!

The flowers are hanging out on my porch for now... they will be planted this weekend.

Now, back to the house. Dan and I went through almost every drawer, closet, cabinet, etc. in the house and cleaned, purged, and organized... PHEW! It took us almost three full days and our house isn't even that big! Yikes! However, it feels soooooo good to have it all finished and I can finally check it off my to do list.

All together we got rid of 7 huge trash bags, plus some other miscellaneous things here and there! Halleluiah!

Mileage Monday

Running stats for the week of April 28th - May 4th... This time last year I was running my first ever Half Marathon. This year... times have changed and I'm slowly getting back into running after an injury that put me out of commission for the past three months. I'm officially back at square one and I'm VERY slowly working my way back into it.

This week I focused on just doing one mile per run. I had slight pain in my left knee, but for the most part I felt pretty good. Remi came with me for many of my runs. I knew if he was with me I would take it slow and make sure not to over do it. I also figured maybe we could work our way up together. I absolutely enjoyed having him as my running partner :)

Saying Goodbye Is Hard To Do

This week has been pretty emotional for me thinking about leaving my work family. I was a sobbing mess from Wednesday to Friday. It is a bittersweet feeling that I'm dealing with. I have that of excitement, but also a lot of anxiety and sadness. It is hard leaving people you have been with for six years... some of them even longer than that. 

My co-workers were nice enough to not only arrange a party for me, but two parties to send me off in style. The first one was held on campus for people to attend and then we also had a "happy hour" send off for those that wanted to go. Even though I'm not really into things focused around me, I enjoyed myself very much!

Seriously, how blessed am I to have spent these past years with such amazing people. I will miss them all more than they will ever know! They have all impacted my life and made me a better person both personally and professionally. But let's face it, they probably can't get rid of me that easily... I'll be back to visit whether they like it or not! See you all sooner than later :)

30 Before 30 - Grow my Hair Long

My hair grows slow... very slow. Probably for the past two years I have been trying to grow it out and this is all the longer it has gotten...

 

This is in fact pretty long for me... truly the longest my hair has ever been!

But after a long discussion with my fabulous hair stylist, we decided it was time to chop it off! She cut about 4-5 inches off my hair... HOLY COW!

Before...

After!!!

Awwwww... it feels so good and healthy now :)
