Today was certainly tiring. I went to
volunteer with a local animal rescue group like I always do. Every Wednesday afternoon the group brings down the dogs they’re fostering and tries to
adopt them out at our local PetSmart. I go down there and do whatever I
can- direct the customers, walk the dogs, clean up, give them food and
water, and anything else that needs to be done. Here are some of the
volunteers (I changed their names just in case).
Dee: She runs the whole thing, and is a real
sweetie.
Noela: Noela is amazing too. She fosters a big majority
of the dogs.
Jane: Another one of the main adult volunteers. I
absolutely LOVE her.
Jessie: Noela’s daughter. She’s 17 years old, washes
dogs at PetSmart, and sometimes comes to volunteer with her mom. She
very occasionally comes off as a bit controlling, but most of the time
she’s pretty sweet.
Abby: She’s thirteen, nearly fourteen. I
gained newfound respect for her after she let me draw really random
stuff ALL OVER her arms (in Sharpie, no less) in red and black. Only a
very courageous person would wear my drawings on their arms.
Jayna: One of my best friends! She’s another teen
volunteer, although she doesn’t come as much as she used to.
Grr.
Warren: This guy really bugs me sometimes. He’s always
contradicting himself, and it’s kind of evident he has a crush on me. I
figured that out when he timed how long it took for me to walk a dog.
Now, of course there are a ton more volunteers, but I don’t feel like listing
them.
Anyways, today somebody brought in a new little puppy. She’s a German
shepard-beagle mix (we think she’s about 12 weeks old), and I named her
Lucy. But the thing is, the woman said that she found Lucy in
her yard all alone with an embedded collar. Now, most of the fur on her
neck where the collar was is gone. Her wounds look INCREDIBLY painful.
It really makes me sick, knowing somebody would allow poor Lucy’s collar
to become embedded into her neck. Honestly, it’s times like this that I
wish I could shout a couple of colorful words at whoever did this to a helpless little puppy. Grrr. However, Lucy was in good spirits- the woman who found Lucy in her
yard was taking great care of her (but she can’t keep her, due to health
reasons). That dog’s a real sweetie, and so friendly! I just
hope she makes a speedy recovery, and that whoever did this to her gets caught or does
some serious thinking about proper animal care.
We're having chicken swiss for dinner tonight. It's my favorite.
