Animal Shelter 5k run & adoption day

Wow. I haven't posted in like... too long ago! Sorry! And a LOT has happened since the last time I posted. I'll post one post for each thing, soo... I'll get started!!


I guess I'll start with the animal shelter's (I'll say 'AS' for short) 5k run. August 2nd, the AS had a 5k run at a big park. A LOT of people showed up, and there were quite a few dogs as well. I wasn't really needed, so for a little while, I took Crayon (one of the AS puppies that I was going to foster) out for a walk. She is so cute. Her sister Polo was there too, but she had gotten adopted, and was going to her new home that day. The PetSmart table had four kittens they were giving away for free, and they were so cute! There were two black ones and two black and white ones I think. The AS made over $5000 that day!! That will help them a lot.

At that park, they have a field with Buffalo in it! The fence is crappy -- I mean bad (I pick up things from my older bro). :D It's just uh.. well.. I'll just show you a picture in my next post. I might do a slideshow. But not with slide.com, cause for some reason there isn't a 'save' button. Anywhoo.. I took pictures of the buffalo which I'll put in a slideshow later.

When we left the park, my mom and I went to an adoption day that the Animal Shelter was holding at PetSmart. Gina (lady that works at the Animal Shelter) had Polo and Crayon, but she wouldn't be there for a while, cause she took Polo to her new home. But she finally came with Crayon. There were quite a few other dogs there. One of the dogs was Jessica. A 1 year old, female, brindle pit bull mix. She is soooooo sweet. I had played with her the last time I had gone to the shelter. I told mom that if Crayon got adopted that day, then I would like to foster Jessica if we could. My mom said we probably could!

I looked around the store a while, and watched the dogs in the 'doggy day-care' and 'doggy hotel'. I think that that stuff is so stupid. They have this place in the pet store that's a 'doggy hotel'. The front desk, and what you'd call a 'lobby' was just like a real hotel, and they charge a lot of money for like nothing! The 'suites' is this tiny room, with a what-they-call-nice-bed-which-really-isn't bed, and a tv! WHAT DOG NEEDS A TV!? The tv is what makes it a suite, and they charge you extra for it! There was a little fluffy dog in there (I'll show picture later) that was jumping up on the window looking at me and whining and barking.

And the 'doggy day-care' is this room, with a LOT of dogs in there of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, and like 1 or 2 people in there, and the dogs play. Luckily they don't really fight much. One dog sat by the door the WHOLE time, and didn't move. LOL. She/he looked soooooo miserable!! The poor thing. And as you may or may not know, I'm a pet-sitter, and people bring their dogs to my house for MUCH better treatment, for WAAAAY less! I was soooo tempted to go up to those people who were taking their dogs into the 'hotel', "COME TO MY HOUSE!! WAAY cheaper prices, and WAAY better treatment! :D :D". I think the people would have kicked me out of the store though....

I'll make a slideshow of this whole day later, and put it on this post. So come back later and check this post for it.

Also, I have sooooo much more to write about, so I'm going to make one post for each thing, so it won't be a super long post, and so I'll have posts to post.

Again, sorry I haven't posted in so long.
