[posted Thursday afternoon]I went to the animal shelter this morning.
They have so many adorable puppies I want them all!!! They had fluffy puppies with big eyes and big fluffy paws, and scrawny little things with big floppy ears and little button noses, and some that looked like goldies and they were so cuddly and adorable and they have kittens! Oh the kittens! Fuzzy balls of fluff with little tails and ears poking out of them, and then some more grown silver tabbies and a couple that looked like siamese. And they had a couple of gerbils and a guinea pig and a lizard, too. I want to adopt them all but I don't want to wind up the sort of person who spends their entire life taking care of a zoo of animals. :(
They have some lovely dogs, and I almost left with one, but decided I wasn't quite prepared yet. But the people there were really helpful! I got some book recomendations and some pamphlets and we talked about kibble and health care. I'm going back tomorrow to discuss animal spotlight posters for the cafe. :D Then I'll be going out to hit up the shops for supplies. If all goes well I may wind up with a dog this weekend. I'm so excited. :DDD
To make this not entirely off-topic, don't forget the Zen meet this Saturday, starting at 1pm! We'll be showcasing some new items for the week starting Saturday to see how well they do, including baklava, nan khatai, and stroopwafels.
Oh! And I picked up a book to make my own dog biscuits. :D If they do well I might try selling them.
