it started pretty shittily.
i went into work and they were like "oh sorry, don't need you today~ forgot to tell you~ see you tomorrow~"
and i was like "oh, oaky -leaves-" then i went and told Grandma and went out to the kennel.
it was so much work today, i have never thought of it as work though. it is enjoyable. a construction worker, who is upgrading the dogs outdoor pen, said to me "you have the best job." and i smiled and went, "i really do." i played with doggies and kitties all day. we attempted to tame a wild kitten, she laid in Ken's arms and snuggled into him. we think she even purred.
Ken is so funny! his hair is pure white from age, he has a big bead like Santa and hillbilly teeth. he rides his bike to and from the kennel and loves animals. he is such a good guy.
he peed in front of Steff and i, Steff said "what are you doing?" Ken said "making my territory" we laughed.
then we were checking if these two cats to see if they were okay in a kennel together. they're in the back room so they don't get seen[so they're not adopted] so i decided they should be friends. then i had to check if they were both male or both female, since they aren't fixed. and i couldn't tell because the orange one's fur was too long so i just grabbed his balls. and Steff was like "how can you do that?" and i said "i've had boy kittens with long fur." and she was like "that's so weird!" i was like "Dx thx Steff"
Steff is cool, she has like 12 kids! not really, only 8. but i like her a lot. she asks how a pretty girl like me got into loving animals so much. so sweet of her.
later that day i was helping in the cat room, and Denise asked me to get a bag of litter, but not really. she said "how much can you lift?" and i said "forty pounds" which was such a lie. i have never lifted anything over 20. and she said "great, go get me a 40 pound bag of litter" and i went ".... k"
...
I DID IT
i carried it all the way from the outside shed to the back of the cat room.
i'm pretty much amazing, i know.
once we finished with the cats we worked with the special rescue animals, the finches, the gunni-pig[sp?], the pidgin, some bird that i can't think of the breed and the....
squirrel.
she feeds it banana and milk, by hand.
it's so cute when it sleeps.
it isn't vicious at all. i want one!
she has a permit, i am getting a permit.
the end of the day was the best part, i am OFFICIALLY getting a dog.
tomorrow.
after work/kennel.
i bought her so many things!
over 90$
oml i'm insane.
that stuff was all about 30$,
what cost a lot was the exercise pen i bought her.
which was 60$
i'll take pix of it all set up tomorrow.
i have to barrow a bed/leash for a few days until the one my mom mails me gets here.
because i wouldn't want any other than the ones i bought back in michigan.
in the pix;
from right to left back row then front.
dog food, collar, treats, bowl[there are two of the same], shampoo, freshener, and leave in detangler.
bottom row - pink guy toy, doggie poop bags, cupcake plastic toy, rope toy, brush.
she is a Pom she needs a good brush~
oh i am so excited~
my mom said.
"welcome to the real world, where money is not easy to come by and each choice to spend means another option isn't an option anymore. "
because i asked her to send the bed/leash next day delivery. and she said only if i paid the extra shipping costs. and i was like "hell no, i have no money!" and so she said that!
what a mean woman.
not really, this is why i wanted to come here, this is what i want to learn.
i wish i had my pay check though, then i'd have enough for next day delivery.
