Yeah, we had a horrible house fire five years ago and ever since Fable is terrified of thunder and lighting, sirens, the little beep the smoke detectors make when they're running low on batteries, when the tv goes to static and pretty much any other 'non-normal' loud or electrical sound ... poor baby ... We just give her extra love and let her up on the bed or couch and sit with us ...

Awww poor girl. But just an FYI you aren't suppose to give a dog extra attention or comfort when they are scared of something, I know you want to but it's better to be like "Hey there's nothing to be afraid of so stop being scared!" and just ignore the behavior. Maybe play soft music during a storm or something and possibly give her treats/do tricks to distract her. I do the trick/treats thing with foster dogs and it actually works like a charm!

She is not housebroken. A lady gave her her to us because her landlord wouldn't let her keep her. She's about 4 months old. Gets along with all the other animals very well. She's probably going to take her saint bernard side trait and get very big because she's huge already.

So a woman needed to get rid of her dog because her landlord said no. She told us it was a purebred Saint Bernard puppy but umm she definitely does not look like a purebred Saint Bernard puppy. Any ideas on what she's mixed with? She's about 4-5 months old right now, really cute!

Umm ignore my gross room and painted door please

Or actually a blow out. So apparently a couple of seniors decided to let ALL of the air out of the tires on every single one of the school buses. We ended up with a 2 hour delay on our last day of high school. I know I know horrible, but still I think it's hilarious! Anyways I want to know what type of senior pranks did your school do?

Oh and I just thought I'd share this(I don't know if I did already or not). We're doing a summer contest with the other theatres to see who can upsell the most. You know "Hi I'd like a small popcorn." "Oh did you know it's only .50 cents more for a medium?" thing. And it's being sponsored by Fandango so our theatre thought it would be neat to make Fandango bags to hang up. Of course I was the first employee to do mine and clever me invented Mini Megan.

So most of you guys know that I work at my movie theatre. I pretty love it there too. I get along quite well with everyone except 1 person and I'm really in with all the managers. Well Friday night I get a call from the head manager. I call him back and he's like hey Where are you? I tell him I'm in Chicago for a concert and he says well when will you be home and of course I'm like not till about 1 am. So he says well you need to come in an hour early tomorrow if that's ok, so we can talk.
Of course I completely freak out after that telling my friends OMG I'm getting fired and I don't know why. Ahhh I don't want to lose my job, I love it there, blah blah blah. They just tell me to calm the freak down and enjoy the concert. Sooo I go into work the next day, mind you I was waiting for 5 pm to roll around ALL DAY it seemed like forever, and Jim takes me into the office to see Jonathon. I sit down and he asks me if I know why I'm in there. I tell him it's because I'm getting fired? Thankfully he starts laughing and is like why would I fire you? I say umm I don't know why... he says ok then why would I do it? Then he goes on to tell me he's starting to make changes in the movie theatre and he was wondering if I would like to be "brought up" brought up as in Manager. Yep that's right I'm looking at being promoted

I've only been working there for about 3 mo and this is technically my first real job IMO. So I'm of course estactic and he had me fill out some paper work for it and will get back to me on if the position is secure to me or not. I'm really really hoping it is. He did talk to 2 other people but from what someone told me my advantage is that he loves me more than the others, so yay on that!

Right now I'm incredibly excited, so wish me luck on that I actually get it!

So my mom stopped by work today and saw this little dog running down the road, naturally she picked her and brought her home. She seems to be a small longhair chi? Obviously an older girl with HORRIBLE teeth and some arthritis but other than that in really good shape. Hopefully we'll be able to find her owners soon, she definitely must of just gotten out of the house or something on accident.

She is such a love here are some pics of her cuddling with me when I was watching a movie. Tiny too! Maybe 4 lbs or so.
