Laurel Durham:  

step at 3 in the morning. She is a grey tabby and keeps us on our toes. We love them both dearly and could never imagine being without them. Gidget had lifelong kidney and liver problems that eventually took her from us. Sasha apparantly died from a broken heart a month later. Just before my 1st grandson was born I gave my husband a puppy for his birthday. We adopted a boxer/pit mix puppy from a boxer rescue. She is a lot of fun and a lot of work. Since all of our animals have been rescued we have spent a great deal of time attending to their needs. I also have a rottweiler that I rescued from sure death. She was severely malnourished, flea infested and had a strong case of parvo. With a wonderful vet and much love and attention she pulled through it. Now you would never know. They pay it back daily, ten times fold...... I couldn't imagine my life without my pets. I have now rescued a kitten that I had to bottle feed along with 2 siblings (that I adopted out) and adopted another kitten from a kitten rescue group here locally. They keep me busy now. My Job I am a Plant Office Administrator for a rock quarry in the Upstate of South Carolina. Which means I do a lot of paperwork, scale, weigh and issue tickets to truck drivers. I do all administrative work for the plant including but not limited to, payroll, purchase orders, credit card reconcilliations, HR, surrogate mothering, best friend, etc. There is continuous learning, and never ending paperwork. But never before have I had a job that I loved so much. I could not imagine working for a better company or with a better group of guys. I am the only female at our quarry. But they treat me with great respect.
