If I had a daughter...

If I had a daughter I'd teach her to love herself the way she is. I wouldn't push makeup, fake nails, fake tans, dyed hair, fancy clothes, and earrings from the moment she is born. I would want her to grow up happy - NOT believing that she - as she is - is never enough.

SHELTER VOLUNTEERS & ADVOCATES:

SHELTER VOLUNTEERS & ADVOCATES: Would you like to get together and plan some stuff? We don't need permission to help - let's just do it! When would be a good time / place to meet up? I'm free in the evenings and flexible on the weekends!

I am going to work kind of early...

I am going to work kind of early... all of this "waking up on time for school" stuff is whipping me into shape!  Shadow had a good day yesterday... he gets to change classes for the first time today, though!  I hope he likes it!  😃

Well... he's on the bus.

Well... he's on the bus.  He was excited about it.  He couldn't stop talking this morning (as if he ever can.  LOL)

My shelter cat Snaga...

My shelter cat Snaga (a.k.a. Mox) has a thing for Sharpies... she's carrying my black one around and meowing all crazy.  I gave her the green one, and she put it with the black one.  Weirdo!

I just buried 20-something little dead animals...

I just buried 20-something little dead animals in my back yard, and now I'm getting ready for Shadow's first day at Middle School - 5th grade!  It's been a LOOONG day and tomorrow starts EARLY.  @_@

[For Context:

Over the last 4 years I've had quite a few pets. Especially when I worked at PetSmart because people would come in and dump ANYTHING. Many were old, and most small animals like that only live to be a few years old, anyway. If you look at my R.I.P. photo album, that's most of them there... there's a few more I need to upload, though. I figured it was time to bury them instead of hoard them in my freezer like a weirdo. My original plan was to cremate all of them and have a bunch of cute little urns atop my fireplace, but all of that costs money, and I just thought that they should go the natural route in the end. From the Earth they came, and to the Earth they shall return. 🙂]

I'm back with all the dogs I left with.

I'm back with all the dogs I left with.  No adoptions today, unfortunately.  But that's ok - we'll just keep on keeping on!  🙂
