Happy 2017

Wedding plans are crazy. Everyone knows what they think you should be doing. Some of the details are so silly. Simple and relaxed will be more fun for you. Don't let anyone push you around. You know what you want.
What ever happens it will be a beautiful wedding and you will cherish all the memories, even the things that didn't go according to plans.

I am glad the dogs are doing okay. Buddy is doing okay for his age.  Good point about the hand signals. They work with a deaf dog. They would also work if there was too much noise for the dog to hear you. It is good for a dog to know both.
I am glad Molly is well. Stiff knees at her age are part of getting old. She sound like she is still very alert.
Mia has had a good life with you. You do keep her well in spite of the IMT. It was a lucky day for her when you  took her in.

Leopard Geckos can live a long time so your three have a lot of years ahead of them.
I am glad the ball pythons are doing well. Shedding problems are the norm this time of year. I have plastic bins just for soaking reptiles and the ball pythons are always needing a good soak.  They have a water dish they can soak in, but I still like to give them the full spa treatment.

I hope the job situation works out. Sometimes you need a job to support the work you really want to do. I love working at the reptile centre, but I need a full time job to support me so I can give the place my time.
At least you can charge for your work with dogs and eventually build up a business. Keep us posted.
