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.
Went to the Sacramento zoo on a whim on Monday.... had fun.
