"Something amorphous and consummate existed before Heaven and Earth.." [DAY 3]

Volunteering at Rocket Dog Rescue

November 15th, 2015

The day was beautiful then, the wind was present but distant and the sun did not glare, but gleam. While my partner was inside with the extra baby kittens, I was managing the more troublesome dogs such as a pup named Alvin. He loved to jump from his cage onto my seat and tried often to make his daring escape.

Foolish Alvin, not under my watch. you are under my merciful eye and -
Ah, I realized I couldn't be too harsh with the dogs. They all just wanted to be adopted and even if they're huge troublemakers, an iron fist isn't the right way to go about it. Today, I tried to be a little more forgiving and much nicer to the dogs I was tasked to watch. Things went well and I did my best to convince on-lookers to adopt this adorable, but oh so noisy dog.

I got to learn more names of the senior volunteers and even met an old classmate, Rawley, there who went to my middle school. We caught up on a little break, when the Sunday hours dwindled down to the eventual cleaning up time. Again, I was on heavy lifting duty and made sure cages and fences were where they belonged.

It was nice, seeing how kind the people are to do all this preparation and scheduling for an honest cause.

Volunteering is a pretty special thing, isn't it?
