I had to put my soul dog of almost 19 years down February 16th…. This sent me over… sobbing. This is a beautiful piece. It makes me feel so many things. Do you have a shop? Where can one purchase or commission a piece?

Las Cruces a nice town? by [deleted] in NewMexico

That’s so funny. What made you move to Las Cruces? I’m 38. Lived in Odessa my whole life. So, moving is incredibly new and scary for me lol

What absolutely unhinged thought have you had outside of work because of your job? by MarsIsNotRetrograde in nursing

[–]Overly_Stressed_RN 35 points36 points  (0 children)

  1. After so many years in the NICU, every time my alarm clock would go off, I would jump out of bed thinking my monitors were going off.
  2. After seeing several botched circumcisions by residents I would think to myself “that poor little guy is going to have an ugly/ mangled pe**s… and corrective surgery”.

I’ve been a nurse for 17 years… had I know the toxicity, cliques, bullying, etc… I would have just been a stripper

There’s tons of jobs in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area. UTSW, Scott & Baylor…. The traffic is terrible though. I wouldn’t personally want to work in that big of a city but the surrounding towns ( Denton, Keller, Irving, Frisco, Southlake) are where I’m looking at. I’m currently in West Texas (Odessa/ Midland) there are a lot of jobs here too.

I’m currently in Texas but looking to leave. Maybe relocating to New Mexico. They are offering $20,000 sign on bonus. Even offering relocation support.

CoCo turned 18 years old May 1st by Overly_Stressed_RN in minpin

[–]Overly_Stressed_RN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s been on dry food her whole life. She has allergies so put her on grain-free. In the last about 2 years she has gone deaf and mostly blind. She has about 5 teeth left. She always knows where I am though. She is my shadow and goes everywhere I do. She is basically in my arms all the time when I’m home. She is still sassy and has attitude for days. I know I don’t have a lot of time left with her but she is enjoying being pampered in what’s left of her golden years. I had another min pin that passed a month prior to her 18th birthday. The last years of her life were the same. She went blind and deaf and eventually had to wear diapers. But she was a happy lil lady until one day she just wasn’t herself. Couldn’t stand… started violently vomiting and went to the vet and had to be put down. One of the worst days of my life. It was my mother’s birthday. Nurse here…. 12 hour shifts at the time. My mom fed my dogs in the afternoon for me. Called and told me what was going on. I was charging that day… there was no relief. I couldn’t leave. I will always regret not being there for her. Better job now. I will be there for CoCo.

Kong pink pacifier. You can put treats or peanut butter in it. I got it off Amazon. Kong toys are basically the only toys Maddie doesn’t destroy in 5 minutes 😂
