It is a very rainy morning here in Knoxville, TN, this morning.
On another note, earlier this year I became an ARV (animal rescue volunteer) with the Humane Society of the United States. It is very rewarding to be able to help animals that come out of puppy mill, hoarding or fighting situations. My first bit of work helping a group of dogs that came out of a puppy mill in Arkansas. There were 45 dogs, 8 chickens, and 3 cats that came off of the person's property. I was able to help be a part of the rehabilitation process for these animals (not so much the chickens), and I even took part in grooming them as well.
Since I was only two hours away from Memphis, I managed to help out three different times, and enjoyed being in a glorious Hampton Inn every evening. Most importantly, I met some wonderful people, and thanks to social media we are able to keep in touch. I look forward to my next volunteer mission with the HSUS; whether it be this year or next year.
The first picture was from the first trip to Central Arkansas, while the second was from the following trip.
