yeah well I'm not so stressed now that i know my husbands contract has been extended two more years with the navy. and I know by that time he'll be an E-5 or higher so he may actually even want to stay in the navy. I was trying to talk him into staying at least two more years so we can watch the economy.. with the navy we're safe, we have our health benefits and a paycheck coming in. Even without me working i know for a fact we can survive off of his but it's just tight.
And he's trying to pick a new job(his eye prevents him from going back to his old one) where he will find easier work in the civilian world...but he won't go into medical because he can be stationed on a ship.(he is JUST like teddy he hates being away from me and would love to spend every waking moment with me.. it's odd how much the dog and him act alike lol)
i'm going to try bleach cleaning his crate and testing him in it and taking him out for walks even though i'm freezing honestly it wouldn't be so bad if i could find the ear cover things.. i bought me gloves today to help deal with the cold.. here in VA beach it's the wind that gets you not the cold itself.. and usually around this time it's still warm last thanksgiving I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and no coat! I was so happy to be away from the midwest winters
