I know a lot of people think I'm just kidding when I say it is such an important thing.. or when I take my foster kittens out to be held by other people.. but darn it.. it is near as important if not more so than taking a dog for a walk..

When I retired, I checked into volunteering at a local rescue - or simply coming in for an hour once a week to pet and play with the kitties in the kitty room. That plan fell thru because it required a half day of training about 2 hours out of town where their main facility was located. Because of my back problems, there was no way I could do that, nor could I clean cages, etc., All I wanted to do was play with the kitties one night a week for an hour or so. Now my health has declined, so I'm not considering doing even that any longer. I was bumbed to say the least.Mariodacathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600880780597061337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-77308408753438631152015-01-19T15:59:21.098-06:002015-01-19T15:59:21.098-06:00Excellent message for the national MLK Day of Serv...Excellent message for the national MLK Day of Service!!
