Poopy Puppies
So today my advisor visited the APL. It wasn't that interesting because we mainly just walked around and i told him what everything was. He didn't realize how many animals they'd have...it doesn't look like they have a lot of space for them though so its ok. With all of the stray cats and dogs out there, there should be more. But the APL doesn't take strays, they only fix them. Part of their mission is to reduce the amount of strays by fixing animals people catch in their neighborhoods and charging $10 for it. Don't get the idea that you can take your cat there and get it fixed for ten bucks... because you can't. That is only for people that are helping the APL by bringing in cats that aren't their own. You can get your cat fixed at a higher price but its probably still lower than your normal vet's price. So today after i showed my advisor around i cleaned the turf fields in the back that the dogs play in. These fields are great because if you have a really high energy dog, that you just took for a walk and is still not tired and ready to go in, you can play with them in there. The two play areas are turf so it has a drainage system that is perfect for keeping those fields nice after a bunch of dogs use it. So i cleaned those with trifectant, which is a cleaning solution meant for animals' things. After that i gave baths to four little puppies. They were all boys and they were REALLY poopy. It was really gross and really cute at the same time. The puppies were so small and fuzzy, the only bad thing was they smelled terrible. So i had to bath them and move them to the adoption floor. After i gave the first one a bath i put it in its nice clean kennel and went to do the next. When i finished the 2nd puppy i went to put him in the cage with the other one and when i get there the 1st puppy is sitting in its poop! Lets remember these puppies were just in a cage that was filled with their poop, it was even on the walls. I will admit i was mad, only because i had to clean a poopy puppy a second time. So if anyone is looking for a cute puppy that poops a lot go to the APL. And then later on i met a ginger kitten that had two extra toes on his front paws. It legit looked like he had human thumbs. It was so cute. I guess there is a guy that comes to the APL looking for cats specifically with this trait. I thought that was funny. Thats all.
