This week at work was pretty fun. First of all, I've held about 9 puppies in just the few days I worked this week and it was beyond great (until I got home and I was interrogated by my own dogs)! I usually close the store the days I work since I have school during the day, so the other day I was closing, and I found a dead gecko... It was sad but I promise you it gets better. My manager, Shelby, had to get him and put him in the animal freezer, which is where we put our dead animals (to be honest I don't know why. They said it was the humane way to do it). Well I wanted to see the animals in the freezer and Shelby picked up one of the older dead geckos and drops him. This gecko hit his frozen head on the edge of the freezer and bounced back in. I looked at Shelby and she was crying from laughing but repeatedly said, "I FEEL SO BAD!" It was great. Then my coworker, Jon, comes in and makes a joke about the gecko and I looked at both of them and go, "Wow, Jon, that joke really knocked him dead". The look I got from those two was just astonishing. They were so disappointed in that joke but they couldn't help but laugh. My week was pretty entertaining.
I watched the "Ted Talk" video about being a leader. Drew Dudely talks about having a "Lollipop Moment". This video really made me laugh but it also helped me realize something. It helped me realize that if someone has been a impact in your life, tell them! There is nothing better than hearing someone say you made their life better. I try to be a leader in the best way I possibly can. I have only worked at Pet Supplies Plus a little over a month and I am already training new employees. It feels good that I can already train somebody to do their job. I found out yesterday that someone sent in a survey about me saying how nice I was and how I was doing a great job and it just felt good. I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day and I'm smiling now just thinking about it.

This is Harley. I met him at work and he was so excited! He just had to jump on the counter and give me a kiss!
