I have to confess, even though this has been a wonderful experience, I am so ready to go home. I miss my babies terribly. Two weeks is a long time to be without them. Part of me wishes I had brought them but I know they're probably happier at home. Caitlin says Whitman pines for me. I know Gerani is far to proud and independent to let it show but I like to believe she's pining a little for me too.
Anyway, I haven't posted a whole lot about the experience I've had because I wanted to let it sink in. I have a lot to think about and didn't want to broadcast it yet. I will say...
- The dogs here are so special and blessed to be here. A lot of them need a lot of work and really understanding potential homes but it is a great thing that Best Friends does here. I have especially loved working with the Michael Vick dogs (may he rot in hell for what he did to them).
- The people who work here have incredible hearts and are my kind of people. Animal people recognize something beautiful in each other's souls.
- I greatly respect the mission of Best Friends. No more homeless pets is a wonderful goal.
- Although I fit in really well with a lot of the animal people, I am not quite as "crazy" about it. For example, I smash spiders. Sorry, I just do and I admit it. I don't think that makes me any less of an animal lover but I definitely did not feel like I should admit that out loud.
- As much as I love Best Friends and this beautiful area, I still have a question mark over whether or not I can live in Kanab.
- I really enjoyed meeting the people of Best Friends but... there were some things I was not overly impressed with.
I have a lot to think about, not everything I am going to post on here yet. For now, it is time to head home. I'm going to make the drive tomorrow all in one go. Hopefully I can do it because I want to see my doggies!
I am so blessed to have had this experience. Thank you all for telling me I should go for this.
