Just a brief Miles household update...
First, thanks for all the purrs for me to get the job but unfortunately this time they didn't work. ( I keep telling myself that the job is out there, but it is hard not to get demoralised. ( Anyhoo.... onto the news. ) Today, I went to the Dogs Trust in Bridgend. The Dogs Trust is a large no-kill humane society that deals, as the name suggests, with rehoming dogs. ) I've been thinking about adopting another dog for a while, partly because Bonnie, my GSD/CollieX spends all her time with my gran as her assistance dog now. So I went looking on the off chance today. And I've met a very nice, gentle, smallish, tri-coloured Border Collie girl called Clara. Clara is 8 years old and was found wandering the streets in May. She had clearly been badly abused because she was completely bald with a flea allergy dermatis and infected skin, and she's afraid of men as she cowers away from them and shakes. So Clara and I had a walk and a chat, she really does have the most expressive ears and great brown eyes, and I've booked her for adoption. If all goes well with the Home Visit tomorrow and her meeting with my neighbour who will dog sit her during the week when we go and visit her on Sunday, then I will be bringing her home next wednesday. ) Lord knows what the feline residents will think. Her history with cats is unknown, but she hasn't shown any nasty tendencies, so I reckon with careful introductions we should be OK. Please wish us all luck that this works out well. ) Thanks Helen M |

Sorry to hear about the job falling through, but you'll
find something you really like soon. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. We will be purring and praying that Clara becomes a great companion to the kitties and quickly.

Please wish us all luck that this works out well. ) We will be sending purrs and lots of doggie drool and ear twitches for you and yours and for Clara. Kayla says Clara should be fine if she can overcome her fears. Borders are a "soft" dog and most cannot tolerate what many would only consider firm handling. They are smart hardworking dogs, but a lot of them will cringe in fear if you yell at them. Or even if someone they are around yells at someone else. Kayla has demonstrated the last few weeks that she was bred to be a babysitter. I don't know what else could explain how patient she is with the PITA Chihuahua Camille. Camille plans to grow up to be a holy terror. Kayla is as gentle with her as she would be with a newborn lamb of a flock of baby ducks or geese. So we are all pulling for Clara. (Oh, and I'm really wild about tricolors) Jo |

( I keep telling myself that the job is out there, but it is hard not to get demoralised. ( I'm sorry it didn't work out. Yes, I'm sure it is difficult not to be discouraged at times. I have a recommendation. Set up a file, and whenever anybody says, posts, or emails you a positive comment - something that makes you feel good - put it in that file. Before you go for a job interview, read everything in the file. I've read that you have a much better chance of getting a job if you appear confident, rather than discouraged or desperate. One of these days, hopefully not too far in the future, the absolutely perfect job will come along and you will get it. I know you'll live up to the demands of the job, whatever they might be.

I believe Border Collies are one of the smartest, if not *the* smartest, breed of dogs, so I'm sure she'll do whatever adapting is necessary. Of course, she may try to herd the cats. ;-) Joy |

Wow, what a great idea! I'm not job-hunting, but I imagine that someday I will be. It's a good thing to keep in mind. Also, you can request positive feedback from people. One year, for my birthday, I asked all my friends to give me a card or letter that told me what they appreciated about me or our friendship, or both. I got lots of cards, and they are all in an envelope in a drawer of my nightstand. I read it from time to time when I feel depressed or down on myself. It really helps! Actually, for job-hunting, I've sometimes sat and read positive reviews from former managers to get me in the right frame of mind. So I really second the suggestion. Joyce |
