Ears

So I have this obsession with ears.... Not in a gross way. I think they're cool. Ever since I was a baby I have rubbed my ears to fall asleep at night. Okay, I guess it's kinda weird. Anyways, I love ears. 

Which is why my dog Molly is just about my favorite thing on earth. Literally. 

Like seriously, look at those ears. So cute.

So yeah, basically I wrote this post so I could post pictures and brag about how stinkin' cute my dog is. Deal.

I'm writing this for my future self. The one that truly hopes to stay home with her children and just be a good mom. But if for some reason I must have a job, I want you (Mallorie Lane Hakanson) to be thankful for the fact that you aren't getting peed on. 

I'm more than thankful for my wonderful job, but boy it is tiring. REALLY, it's truly exhausting. Most days I get up at 5:45. It's still dark outside and therefore I believe my eyes should remain closed. However, I get up and go to work. 

My daily routine consist of....

7-11,  One- on - one plays with dogs. Usually about 10 dogs each morning. Within that I pick up poop, get jumped on, run around, play ball, get soaking wet, and occasionally....I get peed on. Gross I know. 

11-12, LUNCH. Sad to say, but most days it's my favorite part of the day. An hour to myself. No barking. No peeing, no dogs. 

12-2, Move dogs out of the indoor runs to the outdoor runs. Clean indoor runs. Move dogs back into the indoor runs. Repeat, four more sections.

2-3, prep diets (food). And hand out the food.

3-4, CLEAN. Dishes, the kitchen etc. 

And finally, it's time to go home. 

Most days it's a lot more hectic than that. There's usually a few falls, and alot of back pain from dogs pulling so much. But I don't think I'd have it any other way...for now. 

Let's try this again..

Can I just say its crazy how things work out. Completely crazy, but so right. And I know that it's not just because I'm lucky, but rather blessed by my Father in Heaven. I'm so thankful for him. I need to work on showing that more. 

So back in April, I came home from Idaho. I just felt that was what was right at the time. And I think it was. But....I'm going back in September. HALLELUJAH. Honestly it has worked out so perfectly. I got the deferment filled out and signed in enough time to get an apartment, and register for classes that will count towards my major. So thankful.

The day after I found out I would be going back to Idaho in September, I got a job. A legit job. And everything worked out perfectly. That's destiny. I know it is. 

So so blessed.

And tremendously grateful.
