The page you were looking for no longer exists

Today, a day I'm going to remember for a long time I believe.
 
A few weeks ago something was bothering me, about my new prospect, remember?? well I had almost lost hope of it happening and today I got a phone call.
 
I've just gotten back from the meeting.  The two women I've known for a while, N is the owner of the busienss and it is her husband G that first wanted to kidnap me.  P is N's sister (you following?) anyway, they've just bought out another business and finally its being melded to their main one, not including the muster experience which is still being finished (finer details)
 
So at the end of this week I'm giving 2 weeks notice, in three weeks I will be starting my new lovely job with lovely women.  Both hilarious, both similar sense of humor both intelligent ((OHH YES!)) both with passion and heart and spunk! ~ Just gotta find the right words for my current employer as my current employer are this companies direct opposition
 
They're putting me on salary, however I will be doing their accounts three days, reservations one or two days and marketing (yipee) At the beginning of next year I will be moving in to the muster experience two days per week until its pumping.  Yay oh really my hearts happy, I began to question at that point where it was not neccessary, the wheels were already in motion only I was ignorant to their sound on the road.
 
Thank you Jo, you reminded me that no matter what life we lead, it is life and will change, like we do, only one thing remains that sparkle.
 
I'm a little sad this afternoon as well, I have to take my dog to the vet for surgery tomorrow morning, her cancer (on her nipple) perforated and when hubby and I got in this arvo there was blood, not a lot but its bleeding.. poor thing, so she's off the to vets to go under which concerns me.  The vet said last time that she may not wake up from it due to her age. 
 
I don't want to lose my dog yet there is a part of me, the part that held her at 8 weeks when she peed on my hand that realises it may be her time.  She's as old as hubby and I have been together 13 going on 14 yrs, thats a good life for a dog, especially one so rambunctious who has leapted, bounded through life with such exuberance you would dare to call her a puppy still and get away with it.
 
It is still difficult to know that she is so unwell, that my strauss (her name) one day won't be there when I wake up in the morning, sit with me while I have my coffee and rest her head on my thigh, look up to me with those big dog gone gorgeous eyes, just being, just loving each other.
 
Folks, I've had a weird week to be honest, if I can be happy and sad all at once then I am, its how I feel.  There remains only one more page to turn, I may not be able to turn that one myself, maybe the wind will, maybe the universe will show me the way I'm not sure, it will turn though.  Like all things in life, it just takes time, love, understanding and integrity.
 
Thanks to my family here I feel I can let go, spread my wings and maybe fly, even just a little.

    first congrats on your new upcoming job!!  That really sounds great Lucy.  Sorry to hear about your long time companion strauss.  I hope she will make it, but if not... you will know she is also flying free and will always be at your side in spirit and heart ~  You girl..... now its time for you to  spread your wings and soar with the eagles ~

    I know its been such a long wait so I thank the stars you're gonna be working where you're appreciated :-)

    Strauss sounds like the term 'puppy' suits her just fine.  If anyone referred to her as 'old gal' she'd probably ignore them for ever LOL!  Now I don't know Strauss but, if she understood what this new job meant to you, she'd be the first to pat her paw on your back Luce!  So its ok to be happy and sad.  It is never easy losing a loved one and that is what she is but the most important thing is that you both know how much she is loved - I'm sure there's no doubt in her mind.  Sounds like you were a pair made to match :-)

    I will have her and you in my thoughts tomorrow.

    That's what life is all about.  Even though you sometimes don't want to change life changes you for the better if you stay positive and let it.
    Wish you the best in your new endeavors and sorry to hear about your pet Strauss.
    The reason I don't have a pet is just that.  After so many years my dog.... a white German Shepperd... had to be put down.  The vet said he probably wasn't going to make it and I could not have afforded it anyway.

    Lucy dear. I have lost several beloved pets and each time it feels like a little piece of me goes with them. My last was a big Austrailan Shepard mix. Hundred pounds of baby. So very beautful and so very much a part of the family. I won't have anymore pets. It's all too much. I am glad you can love your dog and still realize that her time is close at hand and be prepared to let her go if she needs to. Just be with her when that time comes. Congrats on your new job. I hope it is wonderful.I'll be thinking of you Lucy.
