2/28: Girl Scouts Help At Weslayan
February was a fun month at the PetCo on Weslayan. We had girl scout troop number 2381 volunteering at our site for 3 weeks. Our foster cats got more love and attention than they ever have before at an adoption site. The dogs walked so much they were all tuckered out. Much thanks to Hannah, Emma, Abby, Rory, Colleen, Mallory, Alyssa, Natasha, Sarah and their moms and dads for their great help. While on site the girls decorated some cat and dog ornaments that Tammy made. We plan to sell the cat ornaments at the WCC Cat Show. Marcy Martin gave a great talk with question and answer on spay/neuter. She also discussed the criteria for an evaluation and was able to demonstrate thanks to 2 of Carole Brunstings new intakes. Cindi Tharpe, their leader has asked if they can do a few more hours of volunteer with HOPE. It was decided that we do an educational class, and Marcy and Tammy have volunteered to head that up. Besides the onsite stuff they did, the Girl Scouts also did a blanket drive for the dogs, made dog biscuits and catnip toys. From The Field graciously donated 2 pounds of catnip for the project. As an unexpected bonus, two kittens--Palmer and Daphne were adopted by girl scout families.Posted by phaedra at 06:59 AM
