so, the other day i finally kicked my butt in gear to go to the humane society shelter i sometimes volunteer at (for unfortunately the first time in a couple months), but as i'm sitting in my car about to turn it on i see a little chihuahua scampering along the sidewalk across the street, & he turns into a driveway where a woman is about to back up, EEK so seeing this i got out of my car (forgetting to turn it off but whatever) and run across the street & try to stop her before i can tell her there is a dog now standing next to her driver's side..but she starts backing up anyway because she doesn't see me (or maybe she did & wanted to get away from this crazy person) so the dog & i look at eachother for a second, both quite worried, but then she finally stops & sees, explains she doesn't recognize the dog so she goes & i'm sitting in the driveway with the dog under my arm, leaving messages on the numbers that were on his collar...the dog is a sweetie & obviously scared, let's me put him in my car & then sits in my lap as i'm driving to the near-by park to look for his owner...& then we get a call from the girl who lost him on a hike, YAY, so we waited for her to come out of the trail and i was able to hand the little guy off to her right there...so yeah, i felt that was definitely a sign that i should be going to the doggies that day ..but then when i showed up at the shelter i immediately got guilt tripped into volunteering for registration for their annual fundraiser walk..which means i'll have to be there by 7:15am next sunday..god damn..but i couldn't say no..but getting up at the crack of dawn to work for free to deal with 2000 members of the Pasadena public would suck less if i was getting a real paycheck from somebody at least..oh well..as long as it's for the dogs
