Started volunteering at this incredible organization this morning. It's bit of a mixed blessing~I do get to have my puppy fix, but it's heart-breaking to see so many abandoned pets. And I want to adopt them ALL. Or, mostly all. I'll skip the 130 lb Mastiff that I met this morning.
But it is heartening, in a world of shrieking politicians and horrors, to feed a baby kitten or walk an antsy dog and know that something small has shifted towards kindness in the dark.

ReplyDeleteKill me with kittens, why don't you...
ReplyDeleteI would not be able to stand a day without tucking them all in my pockets and bringing them home -- only to feel the wrath of three elder kittehs upon my head.
You must have special Volunteer Day outfits that you don't mind getting...kittified. And puppified. I just remember your sister's dog widdling on my foot when we first met... It is nice to get out of one's head and realign the scope of one's troubles with a small pet on one's lap. Or a toddler. Same amount of chaos...
ReplyDeleteAww! Good thing Andrew is practical or I'd have a whole menagerie, animals have such an innocence about them! When the word is over my head, first pace I go is to my dogs.
