For the past six months on Monday evenings the girls have been volunteering at the local humane society. The job is hard and dirty. They spray poop out of kennels and feed, water, and give medication to dogs. They do this in rain or shine and they do it willingly. The shelter doesn't normally let young kids volunteer, but they are going with a friend of mine (co-worker from last year) and she has vouched for their maturity and is responsible for them while they are there. The girls love it and say it is the best part of their week.
Recently, we signed on to foster dogs through the shelter. We are not able to adopt or take on a dog forever because of our long-term plans, but we are able to help out while we are here. The kids were all thrilled! We brought home a three year old dog this past Saturday. Coco will need hernia surgery on the 17th and she will go to her forever home once she has healed. Our kitties aren't too sure of the new member of our family, but they are slowly warming up to her.
