I start my new job tomorrow....I am SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!
 

I have been looking for a job for quite a while, and have always thought I would end up working at an apartment complex somewhere because that is my background. I would be good at it, and it would be a great job, but it would always be...a job. well, I wandered into a wonderful Doggie day care/boarding/grooming facility that I have used in the past and always recommend to people who ask for a good groomer or place to board their dogs. I was actually going in to look for something that I could do part time because I knew that I would need more than 1 income. All they had to offer was something that would pay $8-$9 an hour. I figured it was better than nothing so I started talking to the manager more and more. And as we started talking, he realized that I had management experience, so the conversation turned more towards him interviewing me for an assistant manager position. This position would pay quite a bit more and would be a much better long term opportunity for me. I was so excited, it just seemed so coincidental that I walked in at that particular time and this turned out to be what they needed. I left there with him telling me he would call me after he talked to the owners. sure enough, that night, I got a call back asking me to come in the next morning to meet with the owners and the grooming manager. So I did, and I was hired!!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOO excited about it. The opportunity to share my passion and love for animals has finally come my way. Yes, it will be a intense job with many frustrations, I'm sure. But that is any job. and I would much rather deal with those frustrations and issues in an environment where my love for animals can be expressed and nurtured than to deal with it at "just another job". know what I mean???

anyway...if you are ever coming to Nashville and need a groomer or a place to drop your babies off for a bit, I will be at Miss Kitty's Bed and Bath Miss Kittys Bed And Bath Nashville :: The Place Where Uptown Pups Live it Up :D :D :D

Congratulations. Sounds like things are really working out and looking up. That's is wonderful. How is that beautiful little baby doing? :)

wow, that looks like a great place to spend the day. Good Luck!

Congrats Mandee!!!! I am so happy that you have found something and it sounds like a great job. I have been thinking about you and I am just so excited that you got this job and to work in a field where you can make a difference is a great plus.

Congratulations Mandee!! I'm so happy you have found something you will enjoy:)

that's awesome Mandee! I'm so happy for you!
can you take Maggie & Tessa to work???

Oh yay!! Congrats, Mandee!! I'm very happy for you! :)

Aww congrats honey. Looks like things are definitely looking up. Good luck.

Good for you! Congratulations Mandee!

I hope you love the job and that there are many more good surprises in your future. You've earned it. :dogsm2:

Wow!! You really deserve it. I'm so happy for you! Let us know how your first day goes! :D

actually, no :( I can take 1 dog once a month to work with me. But they don't like the employees to bring dogs because of dominance issues that dogs tend to have when their owners are around. it is no longer "neutral" territory if a dogs owner is around...so there are more chances for things to go wrong. totally understandable :)

Thank you so much!!! CRAP I've been meaning to call you back!!!!!!! I am so sorry. I have been totally side tracked!!!! I'll make sure I do that really soon!!! forgive me???? :D

CONGRATS!! have a great first day!! :cheer:

How awesome for you! I am so excited on your behalf! :D

Congratulations! Everytime I see doggie daycare featured on tv, I think that's what I should be doing!
Can't wait to hear what it's like! Best of luck to you!!

That's great! Congratulations!

OMGosh guys!!!!!!! I LOVE this new job!!!!!!!! I mean...I get to work with the most beautiful dogs...and some of the sweetest dogs I have ever known!!! I am truly truly blessed!!! The first few days, I felt a little overwhelmed trying to learn the in's and out's, the computer system, etc., but now, I am getting so comfortable and LOVING it!!! and you know what amazes me??? I have always loved their grooming services. never used them for boarding. but I have always recommended the place because I have thought they were really nice, the place is clean, etc. and they do a GREAT job grooming. BUT....even now that I am working there, I would HIGHLY recommend it. It feels so good to work for a place that I can actually say is amazing at what they do. They treat the dogs so amazing!!!! I have not seen one single thing that I could say negative about!!!! seriously...I think I have hit the jack pot!!!

Congrats!!! I will have to stop by when i go visit family! My Uncle and fiancee live in Nashville I just LOVE Tennessee! Gooooo VOLS!!! :D Sorry had to throw that in! Hehhe :grin2:
