I'm wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays... and wishing I didn't have to break my streak of having a white Christmas every year. That's the hardest thing to miss today (except family), however, the weather decided it wanted to be winter-esque and is right around freezing with the windchill down here. However, still no snow.
I spent the morning working with the animals. Not many of us got Christmas off. Yesterday I learned how to do the produce run. All of our produce for the hundreds of animals we feed every day is donated from the local HEB grocery stores and Walmarts. They give us all their produce that's not fit for human consumption, but everything I've seen I would totally still eat. Well, most of it! On our run, we rescued 2 dogs who were on the side of the road. Around here, it's dangerous for anything by the road because every property is lined with high barbed wire fences, so the animals have nowhere to escape. So we brought the bloodhound and Australian shepherd back to the rescue center, and then we rescued an opossum with a broken jaw in the middle of San Antonio. Busy Christmas Eve.
Tonight I had an amazing time at a potluck that we had for most of the apprentices. I made my Dad's famous hash brown potato dish, which was a super big hit. I'm so stuffed. It was quite entertaining as well, because the party was held in a trailer that has 3 cats and 4 dogs in it, so you had to eat your food quickly before something else did. Overall, the best holiday away from home that I could think of. Thanks for all the presents from family members, just be patient for the thank you cards. I have to wait for my next day off to go into town to get some cards. Miss and love you all. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
