Cuter than she looks
Mar. 31st, 2026 16:34Today's dog was brought by a kill shelter not too far away.

Her name is Cherry Blossum. So named by the intake staff. The eyes are fixable. It is a condition called cherry eye that is tear ducts that have prolapsed.
Cherry is 25 pounds, a year old, and as cute as she can be. She's also, unfortunately, scared of everything so she's not happy right now. But once her eyes are fixed and she is spayed she will quickly go to a good home. She's not as chill as our Beaux is but she will be a great dog.

Meanwhile my other gig, the bookkeeping job, is turning into a real interesting side thing. The couple that runs the company is wonderful and they are making a lot of money so I don't feel guilty getting some of it (and they are paying me a decent amount) but really it is stuff I love doing. I always liked working in Quickbooks when I was running the company. So i'm liking doing this and have requested that they walk me through one of their company's records start to finish in a typical month (March, for instance). So next Thursday I'm going to remote in and we're going to process a customer. I really need to understand how things work to see if I can make them more efficient. If I can then the gig expands and I make more money and the owner's husband gets to go out to his ranch and do... ranch stuff instead of doing payroll for a bunch of the customers.
As long as I can WTF I'm happy to do it. The volunteer gig is the same. I'm doing some stuff that will result in my being able to help remotely too.
I could really use another monitor. Ah, the good old days.
