Chuckles and the Humane Society

Chuckles, animal lover that she is, loves visiting the Humane Society.  I don’t like going as I can’t stand seeing those poor animals confined in those tiny cubicles and how deafening it is when they all bark.  Chuckles has to beg me to take her.  Today was one of the days she talked me into it.

You see, she has come up with a research project where she will have to go there every two weeks to collect data…for the whole year.  She wants to persuade everyone to stop buying puppies from pet shops and adopt them instead from a shelter and wants to know everything about how shelters work and the plight of unwanted dogs.

Everything. Every detail.

Today she went in to get an appointment with the manager of the shelter to find out if she could come in for 20 minutes every two weeks to collect information.  This afternoon she is writing a letter stating all the reasons she needs to find out this information and a list of the data she would like to collect an what she intends to do with it. 

I am hoping that this turns into an indepth, long term project for her as it is coming purely out of her deeply held compassion for animals.
