I'm moving to Northern California!

Off Topic
  • … as soon as I can find a job, or my house sells - whichever comes first! Ondrej has switched positions and now has a job at UC Davis so I'm looking for work around Sacramento area or 1/2 hour radius.

    I think Tayda and Lenny will love the weather!

    I'm excited, but boy am I SICK of moving! I'm like Where's Waldo. My parents have lived in the same house for the last 32 years and I have moved 4 times in the last 2 years. Soon to be 5. I confuse them. Too bad I will have to leave my cushy CR job... I quite like it.

    So I will soon (hopefully) join the ranks of the NorCal B-owners! As things get closer I'll be putting feelers out there for good vet and pet sitter recommendations!

    If any Bforum members out there know of Mechanical Engineering positions or Medical Device positions in the Sacramento area - PM me!

  • Awww…lucky you!! I am so jealous! you will love it :)

    A lot of the lure course events take place near Sacramento too.

  • My husband works for UCD and we both graduated from UCD. I live in Woodland, which is an easy 10 minute commute to Davis and about 20 minutes to Sacramento. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about the area.

  • Thanks Ivoss! Ondrej is renting a room in the Stonegate community right now in Davis, but when I get out there we'll look for a place of our own! He was looking in Woodland also, but this place in Stonegate let him sign a 3 month lease so that seemed to be better for the situation…

    One thing that surprised me is he said that there are bikers everywhere but no one wears helmets! Yikes! I don't ride 10 feet w/o my helmet!

  • Most of the professors wear helmets but most of the students don't. Stonegate is nice, have had friends that rented there.

  • Yea!!! Another California transplant!!! I hope that you will consider joining BCONC when you get here… lots of coursing around here .....

  • Very cool! :) My ex-vet (now retired) graduated from UC Davis and she took very good care of my first B…

    Even though we're not close to the UC Davis area, hopefully we'll get a chance to meet - maybe some B meetup a little south of there at some future time... (Perhaps Tayda and Lenny can get Cosmo to yodel :p)

    On another note, it's Dungeness Crab season here so if Ondrej likes seafood, he should get some at the grocery store (it's a very sweet crab)... :D

  • I've made a lot of trips around Sacramento. There are a lot of nice areas there. The climate is a lot more temperate than CT. Good luck in The Golden State!

    They are adorable :) Watson always gets identified as some sort of terrier. He has been a rat terrier and a toy fox terrier…

    It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.

    @JazzysMom: …but God and Rielly showed her who is really in control -- he was born almost exactly 24 hours before the scheduled C-section! hee hee I told her, 'Welcome to parenthood. Now you know exactly how much control you have over your life. " hee Now that is funny!;)
