Day 13

Today was my last day at work!!  Woohoo!!  It was a good day and I got a lot of work done for the store.  I had some guys come in last minute to rent gear, which was a pain.  They were in no hurry to get out of the store and I was open way later than I would like.  In the end it was okay because I never have to go back and work again.

One of my friends had her birthday party last night.  After I washed the stink of work off of me, I grabbed a quick bite of food and then headed out to the party.  We were all meeting up for dinner and of course there was nothing on the menu that I could eat.  I ate my leftovers from dinner last night and was fine with that.  In a way I am glad that I have food allergies because when I don't eat at a gathering it is not a big deal.  I always hate when people make it a big deal when you don't eat at a get together.  I am just wanting to go to hang out.  Why does it matter if I eat or not?  It doesn't have an effect on how much fun we have.  If it doesn't make me feel awkward then it shouldn't make you feel awkward.  I am off my soapbox now.

I took the dogs to the dog park on my lunch break and they had a great time.  A lady came over with her two bulldogs about halfway through our time at the park.  There are two identical halves to our dog park that are separated by a high fence.  She went to the other side after I told her that Jack doesn't do well with other dogs.  Jack had a major freak out at first.  The hair along his whole back was up and he was growling like a mad mad at the other dog.  The bulldogs didn't seem to give a shit and just barked back.  After a few minutes, he calmed down and didn't even care about them.  I was so happy to see him so calm around other dogs.  When they left, she let one dog out at a time.  The older dog was left in the park by himself for a few minutes and was whining.  Jack went the fence and sat with him until the lady came back to get him.  As we were leaving, another couple showed up with a puppy.  Jack didn't give a shit about the dog and we left without any barking or lunging.  It started out shaky for the first two minutes but then it was heaven.  There may be hope for him after all!
