I had a blast! I have always worked with animals because of my dog sitting and dog walking and of course stealin the neighbors' dogs if I have a key to their house (they don't mind, heh.)
I did once work for a shelter, but it was a miserable place, a lot nicer now, but that was a few years ago and I no longer live there.
I started volunteering at the local SPCA today and was floored at how serious they are about training. I need to have 6 hours in before I even think about taking dog handling class and that includes cleaning their cages. I was able to clean and play with the cats and I swept the entire lower floor, but it was the puppers I was really keen about.
My goal this week is to finish out my 6 hours so that I can take the class next week. I know a few people who work there and a few of the volunteers are sweethearts.
Just wanted to share something fab that happened today. I knew I would have fun, but I was anxious (I had to drive my moped for the first time since my accident so I was very nervous) I really didn't know what to expect or how hands on I could get. But this really looks like something new and great to add to my week.
Thanks for reading everyone!
