I'...I'm so sorry you're going thru this. I've just started following you on Twitter & found your blog. Having been through a couple of very similar job issues due to chronic illnesses, I feel your hurt @ lost friendships & anger @ mismanagement. What's so hard about handling things in the proper, professional way? I just had to retire my Dental Hygiene <br />license at the end of the year with 20+ yrs dedicated & I loved my career. But, I do believe other doors will open for for you, though they may not be what you expect; or, you may have to crawl through a few windows to find your new nichè. As someone said<br /> to me, "You'll always be a Dental<br /> Hygienist" ; You'll always have <br />the specialized knowledge to <br />work & have that relationship <br />with canines. You are going to be<br /> OK … on to better things. Who knows what's going to behind one of those doors? :+) And … YOU ARE NOT A HORRIBLE PERSON … just ask your four-legged friends, for you know they never lie. ;-) Plus, you've got some really devoted two-legged fans, too! <br />HUGS~ MonicaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466193779081233806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-76122927648226042832011-02-24T14:06:52.027-05:002011-02-24T14:06:52.027-05:00Scott and Missy, thanks for the support.

It is important to see what is around me at the moment.Tiptoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388368645986593755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-56813963896820557732011-02-21T12:15:33.316-05:002011-02-21T12:15:33.316-05:00Girl, I have been laid off twice and never under s...Girl, I have been laid off twice and never under such horrible cicumstanes and it really hurts. <br />Here is my words of wisdom'<br /><br />Yes it is true when oned door closes another opens. Surely you will find another job...another door. BUT befor eit does look around and notice all the windows! You can climb out of one of them...new possibilities of doing things. Maybe it isn't even dogs. What's out there through some windows arond you.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394509972095129618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-64358462263812416942011-02-20T21:19:59.578-05:002011-02-20T21:19:59.578-05:00I just started reading your blog, and I think you ...I just started reading your blog, and I think you are absolutely amazing :) I am so sorry you are dealing with this rough patch right now, but I have 100% confidence that you will get through it!<br /><br />Stay strong, sending my support,<br /><br />ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-29660872796780938432011-02-20T12:16:33.646-05:002011-02-20T12:16:33.646-05:00Thanks Melissa for your ongoing support. I think ...Thanks Melissa for your ongoing support. I think when I thought of myself as some horrible person--it's just the fact of being rejected.<br /><br />As for careers, the dog training one is tough to make as a full-time career. It is getting better as it becomes more of a profession, but still things like benefits are hardly existent. Animals will likely always be a part of my life in one way or another.Tiptoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388368645986593755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-12101612473161679922011-02-20T11:53:18.903-05:002011-02-20T11:53:18.903-05:00i am so sorry. and it sounds like this was all han...i am so sorry. and it sounds like this was all handled particularly poorly on their end. awful people to work for!<br /><br />i hope you can separate who you are from the details of this incident. when you write, "It's hard for me to not think of myself as some horrible person," i wonder what could have happened that you would even potentially feel like that.<br /><br />whether or not you choose to work with animals is your decision, if that's what YOU WANT. just because this didn't work out doesn't mean you're not able to work successfully and happily in the field.<br /><br />remember who you are and all your many, many, many strengths and assets. <br /><br />i've been in your situation and it's painful and awful and tough, on so many levels.<br /><br />you are wonderful. you will absolutely find your next path.<br /><br />take care, melissaI Hate to Weighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241064340434705588noreply@blogger.com
