Bad day to be fluffy.

In other news, I've talked people at work onto volunteering at an animal rescue! We get a set amount of paid volunteering hours so why not make the most of it and help some critters along the way.

GIBSON! aw poor gibsby. It is indeed a rough day for fluff. We used to give ours cool showers on hot days like this. Probably a bit traumatic, and sticking them straight into a shower isn't the way to go about it, but with sufficient treats they usually don't mind when it's really hot

I'm strongly considering animal fostering once I turn 18. I was reading an article on a foster org and apparently they're very in demand around this time of the year. I'm actually even considering emailing one and explaining my situation and even though I can't adopt one, seeing if they'd be willing to give me a shot anyway
