Michigan in February is as peachy as ever; lots of snow & cold, and everyone (aka, ME) is sick of it & ready for warmer weather. I don't want 80 or anything.... but a solid 30 with not much wind would be good. As well as clear sidewalks. I've definitely been walking much more now that Remington is here; its good bonding time between he & I (bonus when Ry comes too), as well as burn off energy both of us build up. Since it's been so cold we've been going on shorter walks since I'm bundled up like a snowman, and he only has short fur & I don't want him to freeze. Things are going along wonderfully with him, and although I feel guilty when I have to leave him in his crate, I know I must get over it because he will be fine for a few hours. . . but still! :(
Tonight I am getting CPR/ first aid certified via Baker; it was supposed to be a 2 part class (2 Wednesdays in a row for 5 hours), but due to horrible weather last week Baker closed Wed & Thurs, so we will be cramming it all in to one week, which is even better in my book. I'm only taking this class so I am at least half time so my financial aid will work (I comp'ed/transferred all classes I could take this tri-mester except one 5-credit, so I had to pick up at least 1 more credit. CPR happened to be offered, and it's actually useful).
Friday Remington has a big day at the vet; he is going to be neutered, rabies vaccine, county fees, microchipped, a small wound on his ear looked at, and his nailed clipped. It will be an expensive visit, but very worth it all; plus I'll get a partial refund from Isabella County since the adoption fee I already paid included neutering & rabies. This way he will be checked out for anything else, and microchipping I think is really worth it. Just about every animal shelter/vet/ect has a microchipping machine they check animals with, and all animals are microchipped in the same place (below the neck between the shoulder blades), and since he was found & turned in to the animal shelter, he may be a runner; I don't want to risk losing him!
Other than that, I am staying busy with school, babysitting a few different families, and looking up stuff to do in AZ for spring break. I'd like to bungee jump, but I haven't found anything close by the Grand Canyon (by close, I mean less than an hour). I'm excited to go to AZ; I've never been to the desert, & it'll be good to get away for a week. :)
That’s all for now; study time before the gym.
