Next week I'm going to watch Rent with Kirstin and another girl from work at ACCIM. I'm excited! I've heard such good things about the musical... and since I liked the movie so much, I don't see why I wouldn't love the musical even more. They are performing for 3 days next week.. May 14-15 @ The Grove of Anaheim. Since Mike isn't really into musicals, I'm glad I found people from work who are interested in going with me.
I have some sad news that I haven't written about. Buddy, our hospital dog at VCA passed away on April 30th. I came to work the next day and the first thing Linda told me was that Buddy crashed at around 2 am.... I didn't know that the bone cancer would take him so fast. He went so quickly that he didn't have to be euthanized.. so I guess it's at least somewhat comforting to know that he went quickly and without much pain. Before the night he died, he was up and about.. walking around comfortably and seemed fine... so I know that he wasn't painful for days or anything like that... I'm glad I took the time to spend some time with him before he died. He was such a good boy. Always listened to us... with the exception of food that he wanted in his tummy. It was such a sad morning that day at work. Everyone was depressed and crying. Every time I thought about Buddy's face.. the way he was so excited about getting breakfast and the way he loved to cuddle and be scratched.. I got so sad thinking about how I would never see him alive again. I hope he knew how much we all loved and cared about him.

R.I.P. Buddy.. The best hospital dog ever..
