Frustrations about people

Today was quite the day. It seemed like that i was doing a lot of the stuff today, ya know, by myself, as a certain someone was sitting at the front desk doing......NOTHING! It annoyed me, but i kept busy so i didnt really notice it. anyways, there was this lady and her husband died a couple of days ago. The lady determines that she cant take care of all of there farm dogs anymore, so she has 7 of the old ones put to sleep. Ok, yesterday, she brought all 7 of them to the shelter to be cremated. First of all she just wanted them all done together. Then she changed her mind. She wants them all done individually. This wouldn't be a big deal, except for the fact that i am already behind and all of these friggin dogs look the same. She gave descriptions of them, but they all look the same to me. Picture me cutting open garbage bags and then being bombarded with the putrid smell of rotting flesh, blood, and urine. I spent 25 minutes trying to figure out which dog was which. My stomache can handle some pretty nasty smells, but that rotten urine was almost too much. If i hadn't left the garage, i would have thrown up. People shouldnt have pets if they cant give them a good quality of life. The dogs had bald spots in their fur, mud caked on them, and a few of them had matted fur. I guess this lady decided to keep the young dogs, I dont know how many of them there are)

Also, today, someone saw a dog get hit by a car. They picked the dog up, but it wasnt dead yet. The dog had a slow and probably painful death. Ya know what people? Keep your dogs contained. And make sure that the method of choice is secure enough so the dog won't get loose. Ack! Sometimes people make me frustrated. Maybe it's because that i tend to think that my way is the right way. Another frustrating thing about people owning pets is that a large majority of them dont put an ID on thier pet and those that have microchips, dont update their information. It makes me mad cause we want to reunite pets with their owner's but it rarely happens and these animals end up getting euthanized. It sucks. (if you haven't guessed it yet, i work at an animal shelter)
