Boo-hoos and bow-wows

Went to my first volunteer orientation at the SPCA on Saturday. I still have to go back for an interview and animal handling training, since I want to walk the dogs and hopefully assist with communication (i.e. writing descriptions of the animals for the website), but it was a good overview, complete with a tour of the facility. And I teared up no less than eight times, including during the short video they showed before the orientation even started. Good lord. I'm going to have to invest in some waterproof mascara to get through this volunteering business. And also might end up with like 4 more dogs and possibly a rabbit or ferret. (fingers crossed)
