Volunteerism

After adopting Basil, Abby sure does like kitties. Here she is the teacher instructing them how to add up their treats. She scored their answers.

Abby and I volunteer at the animal shelter every week. I grew up with my parents volunteering to make our neighborhood better! They restored three homes, gardened like crazy, attended who knows how many meetings and got a lot done! I recall historic lighting, park improvements, signage, zoning, etc. I can't perceive how they got so much accomplished!  Grassroot efforts in Kodiak seem to have slower, lesser results.

The difference I make at the shelter may be minimal, but I feel the impact. I got a huge dread out of little Violet's butt. (I have tried getting Bobo's dreads out, but she is difficult.) I have passed out lots of treats. I have changed lots of litter boxes (they only get one scoop of litter, so boxes have to be changed often).
