For five days, the kids learn about the SPCA programs, animal care, feeding and cleaning, and even got to watch surgery on a dog. This week, the SPCA was in the local news when they took in more than 100 chihuahuas who were confiscated by police from a local hoarder. Finding room for that many dogs was quite a challenge, but Katie and her friends got to be part of that project.
Of course, there was the inevitable question, "Can we get another cat?" and I must say it was hard to turn down the offer to bring home adorable Davey Jones, a one-eyed kitten. But my resolve was strong and we ended the week with great lessons in animal care....and no new critters at our house.
