Ups and downs of a new block

Well, we are definitely deep into this third block. Classes seem to be going alright- they are just long and I'm still exhausted when I get home. We had our first anatomy exam this block and I survived. Did quite well on the written part and still waiting for the practical, which hopefully I pulled off a B or C. GI phys has been a breeze since I'm averaging a 99 on the exams, currently. So, no complaints there!! Glad to have one easy thing. Our first nutrition exam is Friday and I need to get my but in gear to study. It is a boring and dull class- I've had a nutrition class before, so at least that should help. Everything seems familiar, at least.

My rescue pup, Bailee, that I got in November doesn't seem to be working out. I have arranged for the rescue to take her back- she will be leaving on Saturday. I feel like I've failed, but she is just not meant to be with me. She does great with Beamer, though, and I feel awful for taking his playmate away. She's been doing well with everything up until week two of this block she tried chewing herself out of her crate, making herself bleed in the process. She got a hold of some papers beside the crate and messed them all up (all thankfully, unchewed). I now leave her out of the crate since I don't want her to hurt herself anymore, but she's now becoming destructive. These past few days I've come home and something has been chewed up. Today, it was something of importance- one of Beamer's ribbons we had won at a show. Nothing up till now has been significant, though. I just can't 'dog proof' more than I already have at this point. Beamer is great when left alone, but I think Bailee just panics due to separation anxiety. So, I've decided that the best home for her is going to be someone who can be home with her most of the day. It is unfortunate, but I definitely felt like once I had made the decision, that it was the right one.
