The Dangs Move to the Windy City


Recently, our friends Anton and Megan and their Beagle, Koopa, made the move from Atlanta to Chicago. Megan is attending grad school here, so these newlyweds packed their bags a couple weeks ago and made the long drive to the Windy City. 

The three of them stayed with us for two weeks while they searched for an apartment. They wanted something affordable, close to the school, and in a decent neighborhood. After some tough luck, they settled on a cute apartment just across the park from our place. 


We had so much fun showing Anton and Megan some of our favorite spots in the city, and even trying out some new spots with them. We also enjoyed exploring more of the park we live so close to. (Something we should do more often.) We spent most evenings on the couch watching Bob's Burgers, and we were more than okay with that. 






Our puppies became good buddies. When they saw each other again the other night, after a week of not being roomies, they were so happy to see one another. We let them play while we took Megan out for dinner, beer, and some coffee, of course. Anton is busy touring Europe right now, but we can't wait for him to return so we can have more adventures!

One Year

Image
I've been at my job for one year now. I've learned so much in that year that I didn't learn in school. I've become much more confident in my technical skills as well. Everything really just takes time, patience, and practice. I'm not afraid to try to place a catheter in a dehydrated kitten anymore. I'm not too much of a wimp to place a muzzle on an aggressive dog (within reason, of course) and surgery isn't nearly as scary as it once was. I've been lucky enough to work with some really amazing vets, techs, and kennel staff, who have made the transition from school to work not so bad. Don't get me wrong, there are days that are really difficult and make me question my career choice. Sometimes I just have too much on my plate and get overwhelmed. Sometimes I feel like I just don't make enough money for the things I have to put up with. At the end of the day, I just have to remind myself that it's not always about the money and that I...

Pets for Life

Image
In September, I volunteered with the Humane Society of the United States' vaccination and spay/neuter program called Pets for Life with my coworker, Angela. The Humane Society is such a great organization and I love how hard they work to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to get vet care for their pets. I worked in the "reactive" dog line with a vet from a local ER hospital vaccinating the dog or human aggressive animals. It was pretty amazing how many pets were getting vaccinated and leaving the house for the first time! We also educated owners about the importance and the benefits of spaying and neutering. Note: This is a post I had saved in September and forgot to share!

Halloween Weekend

Image
This past weekend was the weekend before Halloween, and I definitely got some partying out of my system. On Friday, my friend Jamie from school was having a Halloween party at her house (super close to the school.) I had kennel duty at school the next morning, so I thought it would be silly to go all the way to Chicago and back a couple times. I asked my mom if she had enough points to get me a room at the local Holiday Inn for the night to make things a little easier. (My mom is the midwest sales rep for Jelly Belly and racks up the traveling points.) Luckily, she was able to get me a room. I took a long nap after I got out of class because I'm just chronically sleep deprived in this program. I met up with another one of my friends from school, Gina, and we bought some alcohol and drank and got ready at the hotel before going to the party. The party was so much fun. We started off by playing the usual beer pong, and listened to music. Before we knew it, it was a full house and...
