Dogs

God, it’s not even 10AM yet! Gavin and I carpooled home last night, so this forced me to come in to work at a decent hour instead of dragging in at 9 like I usually do. But it also means that there’s more time between arrival and lunch than normal. Since I’m in a “working through code somebody else did” in my project, I’m not enjoying the extra time in my morning.

We went with Sarah last night to the Harris County Animal Shelter to look at dogs. She wants a small dog because she lives in an apartment. She put her name down for a dog that still has some time before he’s up for adoption (picture on her site). This dog was soooo friendly. He really wanted to come out of his cage and play. I hope she gets him, because I will probably end up dog sitting a few times and I like him! He looked pretty well cared-for, though, so there may be a decent chance that his owners are looking for him. We’ll see.

Going to animal shelters is fun (see lots of dogs) and very sad at the same time. There were so many cute, friendly dogs there and many of them won’t ever find homes. There were also several that looked like they had been starving for quite a while, poor things. I will never understand people that don’t take care of their animals, or worse abuse them. By the time we got Roxy into our car at the shelter, I was completely protective of her. And Roxy doesn’t exactly need a lot of protoction…. Unless she’s being attacked by the evil new cell phone which she’s sure will suck out her soul instead of taking her picture. :)
