it's a dog's life

volunteer orientation at atl humane society this morning --- i wasn't sure about this, but it's not as grim as i had in mind --- actually very clean, bright, and pleasant --- and although technically not a no-kill shelter, it is not the dog pound either --- a lot to do, from cleaning out pens every day, walking muts, socializing kittehs, working front desk, etc etc --- they have some sort of online scheduling system that i'll get access to this afternoon --- a friend said it'll give me good kharma --- i said to hell with that, i'm doing it for the cute puppy and kitten pictures
