\"\"<\/a>It’s a mixed season this year, with the passing of Guido after Thanksgiving, and the rest of the pack trying to figure out their new roles.\u00a0 Guido was the leader, and Meadow I believe has taken that role though she isn’t exactly sure how to lead.\u00a0 Abel is growing up fast; I have caught him lifting his leg a few times, and he kicks up after he poops.\u00a0 He’s going to have a very strong personality like his dad, so I have to be careful it doesn’t get out of hand and cause him issues when it’s time to start coursing.<\/p>\n

This year has been an eventful one, a sorrowful one, and also a happy one, yet one I am ready to let go.\u00a0 My spiritual guide said to expect a rocky remainder of 2014, and she wasn’t kidding.\u00a0 After getting bed bug bites in early November from a hotel stay, the prednisone I took lowered my immune system, which opened me up to a cold over Thanksgiving, and then the flu which hit me on 12\/21.\u00a0 Luckily I got to some anti virals quick enough and seem to be almost over that after just a couple days.\u00a0 I HAVE to stay healthy, I no longer will have health insurance after the first of the year, so until I find a new job, I have to wing it that nothing happens.<\/p>\n

We have an eastern Caribbean cruise in January, and upon returning, I will be hitting it hard looking for a job.\u00a0 Lots of stuff coming up this spring and summer that I will need money for.\u00a0 I can’t say that I have enjoyed my break after leaving work on 12\/1, as I have been sick, and I honestly am ready to be productive.\u00a0 Sitting home and not doing anything is NOT for me.\u00a0 While the dogs like it, I don’t.\u00a0 Lots of naps and walks and trips to the dog park, but that isn’t enough.<\/p>\n

So no matter what holiday you celebrate this time of year, I hope it’s a good one! Be\u00a0 happy, be safe and have a wonderful 2015!!<\/p>\n
