The Month of October

This month was stressful and exciting all at the same time. There was sometimes trouble in the house and other times we were just all hanging out and having fun. More focused on C.A.R.E. though, I have been to facility and volunteered a few times. It is always fun I play with the cats on a Sunday mornings.Each cat wants more and more attention. They are always trying to escape from the crates just to be with you. I love it! I sometimes wish we could have animals in campus housing. This time I get to spend with the cats is a time when I feel relaxed. I come home after that time and feel like I really was doing some good for the day.

Earlier this month Anna and I went to an animal blessing. We went to a Methodist church and took one of the puppies that was currently at the shelter. We let the puppy run around with the other animals there, that were waiting in the parking lot to be blessed. We also had a booth set up to collect money for C.A.R.E. We collected only around $25, but any money counts when you are helping to save innocent lives. The Associate pastor then blessed the puppy and gave us a certificate to show that people care about animals and god does too.

We also finally got the C.A.R.E. calendars. IF ANYONE WANTS ONE LET US KNOW!!!!!! The first time that all four of us ever went to C.A.R.E. there was a cat named Midnight. The cat looked just like one of my cats that I have at home named Brutuss. All of the pictures that were featured in our Summit Park presentation I am with Midnight. It so happens that over the summer Anna adopted Midnight and now he has a loving home. However, I was surprised and excited to see that Midnight was featured in the calendar for one of the months. He looked so cute and healthy. The calendar shows animals that the shelter has saved, and those that have been adopted.

This year so far has been exciting and stressful, but hanging out with the cats at C.A.R.E. no matter how terrible my day is always makes me happy!
