When I didn't work so much I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I have a buddy that still does, though, so I get to hear about stuff that goes on. I guess yesterday a woman surrendered her cat because it clawed the shit out of her toddler. Chances are the kid deserved it, and she's an idiot who left the two alone together, but whatever the reason the shelter ended up with the cat. Apparently it's a super sweet cat that my friend just might adopt herself after the cat gets its routine health check before being put up for adoption.

I still remember the time we got in this monster sized golden lab named Orion. He absolutely loved people but had anxieties about being left alone and also didn't realize just how big he was. He actually knocked me over and would relentlessly try and lick your face. One day we thought he'd finally found someone to adopt him but he was returned shortly after since, even though we warned the lady he shouldn't be by himself, she left him home and he actually panicked so bad he busted a window. He did eventually find a home but it's so awful when pets get returned since it's so stressful for them to be jerked around like that.
