A little catching up.  I volunteered at Pet Expo this weekend for Wildlife Rehabilitation Society for a couple of hours, we were kitty corner to Pitbulls for Life, my other volunteer job.  They had two of the cutest pitty puppies, I wanted to steal one and bring her to our booth for the cute factor.  They were just all wiggles and puppy kisses galore.  After my shift I walked around and apparently snakes like me, a lot!  I stopped at the Reptile table and soon had a corn snake and a ball python crawling up my arm, not at the same time.  It was one of the coolest things, they are so smooth and soft, if that makes any sense.  I did put on my brave face and actually touched a taranchula, and any one who knows me, knows I am deathly afraid of spiders.  It is a wonder I didn't have nightmares after that, she was very soft for the nano second my finger actually touched her.  Snakes are more my speed.

Today I went for an interview to be a "Puppy Cuddlier" for Dogs with Wings.  They train guide and service dogs, cuddliers get to play with the puppies and socialise them before they begin their training.  I start next Tuesday.  Oliver wasn't very impressed when I got home and smelled strangers on me.  And if you hear of a case of missing puppies in Edmonton, just don't look at me:)
