I feel like experience/work ethic don’t matter much in corrections

There’s c/o I work with that have 10-20 years of experience and if they didn’t tell you, you would probably think they’re brand new. And then there’s some teenagers that you’d think been working here for years. I also feel like the hard workers are often shafted while the lazier people are assigned to easier post. It’s like they just don’t care for their best workers and just keeping the incompetent lazy officers happy and for them to stick around, while the hard workers get burnt out and replaced/fired.

Twix doesn’t like blankets

Twix doesn’t like to burrow under the blanket like his older brother Sonny. He just wants to play tug-of-war whenever I try to cover him.

Sonny the minpin

Sonny is my red miniature pincher and is my second dog. He is turning 14 years old at the end of November. He has pancreatitis, it got really bad in September that the Petsmarts vet wanted him to be put down. But I took him back to see his old vet 1 hour away and she was able to treat him. He is doing good now but is very sensitive to food so no more unhealthy dog treats and no more table scraps. My first dog is Manny (Pomeranian) he passed away last year. His picture is in the last slide.

Took Twix out for his first long walk

Perfect weather to go out for a long walk with the minpins. It’s difficult to get good pictures since he’s all over the place.

Corruption

I like being a c/o but the rumors, corruption and “favoritism” turns me off. They basically allow captains to prey on female c/o. They tend to favorite only females. The fact that I have to snitch just for them to do something about dirty staff. The fact that it’s so corrupted that they tried to pin some bs on me and try to get me in trouble. I’ve never reported supervisors in my life until I work corrections and I had shitty supervisors in my life. I do like the job itself but the culture and the way it’s ran is worst than my first job at the grocery store. At least at the grocery store people didn’t spread rumors and try to sleep with the female staff.

Sonny is feeling better now

Sonny is 13 years old and has pancreatitis. After over a week of diarrhea and throwing up what little he ate. He is feeling better and nearly back to 100%. The Petsmart vet wanted him put to sleep but I took him back to his old vet an hour away and she was able to treat him. I am looking forward to his 14th birthday at the end of November. I guess it isn’t his time to go! We have to appreciate the little things!

Euthanasia aborted for now

So Sonny (13 years old) has pancreatitis. It got bad last Saturday he wouldn’t lay down in his bed. Then he had explosive diarrhea, then he started throwing up and barely ate. The petsmart vet asked me if I wanted him to be put down. So I went back to my old vet. Had a 2nd opinion and they said they want to try some treatment before they put him to sleep. The reason why I went to the Petsmart vet because I moved out to the middle of nowhere to be closer to my workplace. And my old vet is in Phoenix.

Sonny is getting put down today

Sonny is a red male purebred minpin. He was born November 2012. I got him on impulse browsing Craigslist for $45. He loves looking for squirrels when we lived in the Midwest. He hates bath. Sonny has a large skin tag on his neck that he keeps scratching so it bleeds. But then he developed pancreatitis and it got really bad to the point were he doesn’t want to eat and if he does he throws up and he has explosive diarrhea. I was hoping that he got to celebrate his 14th birthday and be around for his new brother. I was planning on putting him to sleep this Saturday but since his health is declining I wanted to give him one last human meal before he no longer has the energy or appetite.

Sonny doesn’t have much time left

He turns 14 in November but he developed pancreatitis so I have made the decision to end his suffering this Saturday 😭 I had him since he was 8 weeks so I’m going to be very sad. The 1st picture is him today. While the 2nd was a few years ago and the 3rd pic was when he was a puppy.
