Trying to Stay Excited

I'm really down the past few days; my room is a mess and it's just too tiny to really clean. I have nowhere to put anything and no way to organize anything because there's NO ROOM TO DO SO!

Today I started tearing it all apart. It's all over my floor and my bed and I don't know what to do with all of it to clean it back up. I just...started taking things apart and throwing things away. And I'm at a loss for what to do now.... it's not even halfway cleaned or done.

Oh well.

I am going to an orientation at the Humane Society next Wednesday night, after which I'll be volunteering 3-4 times a week. I really, really want to get into veterinary, and volunteering with animals will at least get me more experience with them. Lorean and I went to the humane society yesterday just for fun, because I like to pet the animals and give them loves.... and it was heart breaking.

So many pit bulls... so many cats... so many animals!! It's a huge, beautiful facility compared to the last one, but it's still packed full. So many pets have been abandoned during this hard time, and it just kills me inside to see all of their fuzzy faces from inside those cages. They have the saddest eyes... like the only people in the world that loved them suddenly decided they didn't want to love them anymore, and they're just tossed to the side.

I know it's not like that. So many people are forced to give up their pets, and it's horrible, but that's just how I feel when I look at them. So lonely...

Some of the animals don't even bother getting excited when you come near them anymore. So many people have passed them up and just walked by, it's like, why bother? Why bother getting excited, looking cute and wagging my tail - no one takes me home, anyway. Day to day, people pass me by, and I just sit there and look at them.

Guh. Heart breaking. Absolutely heart breaking. I want to adopt them all and give them all love. Poor, poor animals. :-(

At least by volunteering, you make sure there's just ONE more body in that place getting to know them frequently. A familiar face, scent, and voice to comfort them while they wait for their forever-homes.

I hate going there too. I used to do a tv show there and it normally a weekly program where there would be a few animals we would showcase and they would get adopted as soon as it started airing. so I know that they look really lonely but they do get moved out of there pretty quick the sad part is there are more coming in.

yeah. I don't HATE going, it's just super depressing sometimes! I want to help them and adopt them all, and love them all. I have plenty of love for all of them!!! Just not enough money...or space.... :-(

But that's ok! When I start volunteering, I'll totally be able to help them with everything, and give them plenty of love and attention. :-D :-D

:( This just struck a chord with me. Yesterday, as I was thinking about all the stuff about my mom, I realized that Tauri and marshall have no one caring for them....they are probably just sitting out there starving to death. I started to cry. It breaks my heart to think like that. I love animals, especially my animals :/ I hope you get to volunteer bunch there :)

Aaww Fania, do you know for sure if they're not being taken care of? I can try to find other homes for them???
Charismatic Chameleon
I'm like 90% sure, unless Dan takes care of them...apparently my mom only goes home ever couple of days....I honestly don't even know if they are still alive :( Breaks my heart, even though its the least of the problems with my mom, but still.

:-( :-( Wow, what's up with that? What's she doing now?? If you can get in contact with Dan, I'll at least try to see if I can find a home for your kitty and the pup! I really will. Gary and Vanessa might take Tauri, they've wanted a dog for a while, I just dunno if they're into pit bulls.
