i'm coming at you like a dark horse.

03/28/2014

it's friday night and i'm sitting at home making an album of my home improvement pictures on facebook. i am okay with this.
i start work next monday (the 7th) and i'm sort of worried/anxious about how sophie will take it. i mean... she doesn't really have a choice but to deal with it. it's just going to be a big change. i've just heard too many horror stories with dogs that have major separation anxiety. i don't think sophie's at that level, but she's definitely a big suck, and won't like being left alone. *sigh*
i spoke with the charge tech at my hospital today and got my login information for the program/site they use to do their scheduling. i haven't even used it yet, but i think that i'm in love with it. i can see all of my shifts (once they're scheduled), all of the staff, who is working what/when, contact info, shifts available for swap/pick-up, etc. it automatically synchs with my google calander (which is synched to my phone), and the program is also accessible by smartphone. she told me to check back after monday and i should be officially scheduled in the department then.
my last job had the same hours the whole time i was there - mon-fri, 8-4 - so getting used to shift work again is going to be interesting... plus this is my first non-full time position, so my shifts are really going to be all over, whenever/wherever they need me. i have 8-10 weeks of training tho, which will be essentially full time (and i'm assuming almost straight days), so that will be nice and predictable.

You might want to try giving Sophie a new you or something to play with/chew on before you leave. That way she will have something to keep her busy and she won't get into/destroy anything.

That system they have sounds nice!

Darby doesn't like being left alone, and he definitely cried when we first started putting him in his crate for the day. But he did get used to it, we just put a blanket and his bed and his favorite two toys in there with him (pig's ear and a soft squeaky toy) and he's fine now. It takes a few days, but Sophie's a smart girl, she'll be okay after two or three days. <3 best of luck!! Just make sure you're ready to RUN outside and pee/poop and play for a good hour as SOON as you get home lmfao

You're totally right. Darby was already kind of used to being crated when we got him so it was a lot easier, but i would definitely try working up some trust and confidence in her first. I can't wait for the day we don't have to crate him, because honestly right now the biggest reason he's crated is for his own safety from the cat, but if we just left one day and he had full range of the house it goes from separation anxiety to agoraphobia AND anxiety and it's just a disaster. She'll catch on fast, ESPECIALLY if Josh comes home every day roughly around the same time to have a bathroom break and a treat or something. Routine is the keyword!
