I have not had time to hardly lurk on PT and I'm having severe withdrawels!:eek:
I worked the shelter yesterday and I'm going back again today. Goodness that place was a mess. I had no idea how short they were on people these days. There are basically about three people trying to take care of the whole thing. It was really sad.
I cleaned 97 cages yesterday, changed paper in bottom of cages, scooped litter boxes, cleaned and refilled food and water bowls. I then swept and mopped almost the whole place then went back and put fresh bedding in every cage. I have to tell you that it wore me out!!
My back is shredded where one kitty launched himself out of the cage while I was bent over and he used me as a landing zone. Another kitty with a bad attitude bit and scratched the whole time I was in his cage and then when I was cleaning the cage in front of his he reached out with both paws and planted claws in my back. He tore my back up the whole time I was trying to clean the other cage.
I then came to a special cage. I think it was a kitty that belongs to Jan and somehow managed to get to Kentucky!;) He had a sign on the front of his cage warning that he "may bite". I opened the cage door and found a kitty that has part of his tongue missing and only three legs. They think he was hit by a car. His ears went flat and every tooth in his mouth was showing when he hissed. He was ready to take my head off!:eek: I decided right then and there that I wanted him!:D
No I'm not going to get him but I sure would love to work with him and help him feel better. I think I'm a glutten for punishment.:rolleyes:
I will take my camera today and see if I can get a few shelter pictures. I left bloody and exhausted but feeling very good.:D
This thread is pointless other than to let you guys know that I am lurking and trying to keep up and apologizing for not posting on the threads.
Yes, yes I know don't post again until you have pictures! I'll take care of that today.:D
Miss you guys!
