Here is a pic of the birds gathering to eat the bread I mentioned earlier:
Starlings first, then pigeons and doves came for the crumbs. I did not do any St Francis -style preaching as they didn’t seem very attentive.
On sunday I did a course on animal (dog, primarily) handling at the shelter. Didn’t take any pics of the dogs involved in the practicum because
- I think I’ve shown them before
- I had my hands literally full
At this shelter there are two grades of dog-facing volunteer, “white shirt” (newbie), and “blue shirt” (animal handler). There is also a “red shirt” track for volunteers who work with potential adopters that come in. I’d rather be on the poop-scooping side than the people-talking side. 🙂 Talking to people is stress-inducing for me and being around animals is stress-relieving for me.
a boondocking retirement 
You are so funny!
Also, your shelter’s shirt system shows it really cares about assigning the appropriate jobs with the appropriate sentient beings to the appropriate worketr. This suggests that the shelter engages, as employees and as volunteers, a large number of aniimal lovers. Keep up the good work!
