monkmano Thanks! the interview is tomorrow and I guess I will just start by saying is the wage negotiable, then I thought maybe I'd explain that this is a lot of responsibility. Id be running her shop for the day! hope it goes well.

monkmano I will bring it up to my doctor when I go in just in case. I think he should check my hormones. I dont really like the idea of the pill, altering your body chemistry these hormones are too powerful!

monkmano I did get her some natural chicken jerkey. She was very happy to come home, and has been quite cuddly since I think she is so grateful that I didn't leave her there. It's a necessary thing though.

monkmano ya she didn't get the burger, i opted for a natural chicken jerky at the pet food store. which made her eyes go wide anyway! she loved it any treat is great. she doesn't get them often so i think she appreciates it. i just put up her before/after!
