Update

Thought I would update everyone on what I have been doing. I have started to volunteer at our local pet adoption center. I have been there the past 2 days for a few hours. I met a nice woman and her daughter there they were volunteering to. The first day I was there, I took a black lab puppy out, he or she, I did not get to play with it long enough to know what it was, when a couple ask me was it adoptable. I told them yes. They took the puppy. That made me feel pretty good. After that I took a small dog and walked it some, I think it was mixed with terrier and Jack Russell. It had fun smelling all around. When I went there today, I took a medium size dog out. But it was pulling me, I was afraid it would get away from me, so I took it in a penned in area where it could run around. All she wanted to do was smell everywhere, I could not get her to play. I let her smell around a little bit then I took her back in and got the same one I got yesterday, the terrier mix. All he was interested in was the people that worked there, he wanted to follow one of the men taking out trash. I told him he needed to take him home. He said it was just the uniform he was interested in. I took him back in and saw another lab puppy they had gotten today. It had a white streak down it’s head, but it was almost all black like the other one. I was talking to the kitties that were there, then a sad thought hit me, all they could do was stay in there little cage, they could not run around like my cats do and play. I had to leave after that thought hit me. It’s kind of sad seeing them like that. I could have taken a kitty out, they said they have a special play room for them. But I have not ask how I could take them out, don’t know if I would just carry them or what. One kitty was laying in it’s litter box. And that made me think how my cats have laid in boxes, I had a cat one time, that loved laying  in a shoe box. I think the next time I go I will get a kitty. Most all of them want attention. I could pet one and another one would be sticking his paws out trying to get my attention. I thought that was so cute. Hope everyone is having a good week, and hope you had a great Christmas.
