At work staff wanted to see how a troubled staff rescue we have who's very untrustworthy of people and will not respond well to people she doesn't trust now we've never come into physical contact other than the occasional sniff but I have given her dinner regularly since she came to us and do talk to her as you do lol but today was the ultimate test I was told to sit on the bench so she could sniff me but not to touch her amd well it was just the best reaction she sniffed my boots and jumped up next to me on the bench and put her front paws on my leg I'm sure if she could sit on me she would have lol and she wagged her tail as I stroked her and talked to her ^_^ it really does mean so much when you establish a good relationship with a new rescue or stray as some are dam right frightened, unsettled, troubled or just rather out of control heh and this staff was one of the frightened one everyones been wary of since her arrival so to gain her trust and affection just really meant alot.

Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
Receiving a lovely email.
AND, a bit later, it will be getting this damn psychology exam out of the way but I might come back to this thread and update it with that news :)
I am just bumping this because this made my day. :)
Last week I had an awful awful session at kickboxing, I haven't cried so much for a long time and I didn't want to go back. But I did go back on Monday, and yesterday, and today, and I've just had the best 3 sessions I've had in a long time.
I sparred so hard tonight, it was brilliant (managed to hurt my leg but I didn't even notice while I was sparring!), there were only 3 of us (including our coach, a black belt/title holder, and me!). And at the end our head coach went 'Liv, I know you'll never do it, but I'd love to see you fight one day. You'd let out so much angst'.

And it made my day so much. So yay. :)
you know I would corner you if you had a match look forward to the day we spar!
This is gonna sound really weird.
But we took one of our rats to the pet shop today to get her mated with a male.
The fact we could be having baby rats in 3 weeks has made me really excited ^_^
