Dear Davis,
I went in for my completion meeting with Marnie (yes Davis, she is as much fun as her name would suggest-- which is a lot). I know I really haven't talked about my trainer but she's super nice, love being around her. I think one of my favorite things about her is her voice.
Anyways, I have my keys. I'm missing one, but she's making a copy for me. Other than that, I have a master key to all of the kennels/condos in the Small Animal room. It's a big job... or rather a busy job. I have favorites (Candy- she's a rabbit). Binx, another rabbit was adopted the day before I came in. Binx was an owner surrender because the mom wouldn't let the kids keep it. I'm happy she's gone to a forever home. Lela has also been adopted (Basset Hound). I know I'm not in the dog section, but I do pass by their kennels so I get to know them.
I'm not used to Guinea Pigs or *shudder* Rats.
My goal is to hold Tommy (the Rat). I can handle everything but his tail... his tail seriously just freaks me out. Maybe next time...
Time In: 4:30pm Time Out: 6:00pm
T-minus 3,487.5 hours til Davis.

Dear Davis,
I completed orientation with the 'Sacramento Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals'. I was able to tour the facility a bit as well. What an eye opener. It's so much more different than the Animal Samaritans Shelter.
First: It's a lot bigger.
Second: It's definitely not "home-y"
It's a large scale operation. On a positive note, all the dogs have air conditioning (at the Animal Samaritans Shelter the dogs that were outside had a misting system and were only brought in when they deemed it to hot to keep them outside.
There's a lot more different types. Big dogs, Bunnies, Guinea Pigs, and Rats. I asked to begin small animal socialization training (for bunnies, guinea pigs, and rats). Another difference is that they have an outside area for the cats that is completely screened in. They will also not ask me to disinfect or clean kennels out (I have mixed feelings... the dish washing tub and I got along ok).
I didn't count my two hours of orientation towards you. I hope you appreciate that.
