    Sooo guess what I'm doing next Thur

    I'm going to the seminar to become a animal shelter volunteer!! My sister, mom, and I are all doing it together, plus I need community service and a project for my Ag leadership class at school. We have these things called SAE's(supervised agriculutral experiment) and this is going to be my project, I have to document my hours and all that stuff, but I'm super excited for this!! I've ALWAYS wanted to be a volunteer at the shelter, and my mom is going to totally *cave* and we're going to wind up with a dog. I know it! I'll keep you updated on this.

    Sounds good! All of the shelters around me are full with volunteers so they're not talking any more or I would be too.

    You are going to have so much fun! I love working at the shelter. I call it a shelter, but it's more of a rescue organization. They rescue animals from local shelters that are scheduled to be euthanized. And the animals are in condos, not cages.
    Anyway, can't wait to hear about your experiences. And I'll be hoping mom caves in for a doggie too.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    That's how we got Kaedyn! I was volunteering for school hours and found my grumpy old man!

    Have fun! It's a blast volunteering at a shelter!

    A Pt'er didn't cave? Wow, LOL. That's a shock to me. I thought that's how you got Casey? Well, my mom can't stand seeing animals in cages, she refuses to go to petstores who sell dogs. She caved so fast for Max, but it obviously didn't work out with that, so I know she'll cave for another dog. It'll probably the one that needs the most excersice, sheds the most, etc knowing her. And we were NEVER getting another pet after Sassy, remember that? Ohh, she'll cave at least for fostering and then with that she'll eventually adopt the dog. I KNOW her so well, haha.

    Thanks guys! I'll be sure to tell you of my experiences!

    I did rescue Casey from a shelter but by the time we volunteered we had the two and that was enough. There was a female pitbull that we were really tempted by but her and casey would just have not gotten along I just knew it There was a kitty that my daughter cried for and truth be told if it didn't get adopted real quick I probably would have caved but 2 dogs, a cat and 2 teenagers is all I can handle right now.

    Luckily the shelter we were at was pretty much no kill, I would have been in trouble if it wasn't.
