Wow! I guess I need to update!

I know, its has been several weeks since I last posted. I know I promised to keep up with it after the move. I just don't know how I had time for life when I was working. Its worse now that I am not working. We have made great progress with Toby's training. Saturday I took Toby to the dog park and it was awesome! For once he did absolutely "0" self-rewarding behavior. This time we stayed until he was totally exhausted. I figured that he needed to be rewarded for playing with the other dogs and not barking at the skate boarders. I was so happy to see that my work is finally starting to pay off. I have been working on making noises a fun thing for Toby. As loud noises are happening I have been giving him really yummy treats. This has calmed him down a bunch. I use to not be able to get out a trash bag or a piece of Reynolds wrap without him going ballistic.

The house is just about a done deal. We have all of the paper work in order. We were told that we could close next week if we wanted too. That is not going to happen. That would mean that we would have to make an extra house payment plus an extra apartment payment. In fact we are having some problems with breaking our lease. It states in the lease that we would have give a two month notice and pay one extra month to break our lease. Well now they are saying that we will have to pay an extra 2000.00 on top of loosing our deposits security and pet. Plus because we were two days late in giving our notice. We gave it on the 5th not the 3rd we are obligated for an extra month. We will just have to see about that! The first 3 weeks I was here the police came and arrested someone each week. The one person was an FBI fugitive and was living in the apartment next to ours. We get woken up by a piano just above us. Nobody picks up after their dogs and frankly I am quit tired of having to clean it off of my shoes. The bad part is the complex has poop stations all around and they supply the bags. The other neighbor blares his stereo which upsets the upstairs neighbor so they argue in the hallway about it. Who wants to live in a place like this. And you say you are going to charge us WHAT?

The out look for a job is very bleak at this point. I have a couple of friends in Dallas that might be able to hook me up. Hygiene just is not the place to be right now. The job market is so saturated here. I can't even get a temp agency to call me back. I might have to change careers again. Dave will not let me go back into retail. He wants me to do something with my degree. I guess I am going to have to do some research to see just what path to take.
