Shift was 11:00pm to 7:00am (October 31st to November 1st)
I was working with Carole again this evening. The two of us get along quite fine and we always keep to the same tasks, the only thing that bothers me is she checks on the animals while I have a better eye on noticing the sick ones. One thing i'll respect though is she'll change every bowl of water, even if there is only 1 hair in it.
Carole had brought her dog Peanutte to work, she's been suffering from an ear infection and when Carole was trying to put the eardrops in, poor little poodle started howling like a beagle! She was adopted at the shelter and she's about four months old. Her original name was Diane and the reason of abandonment was because the previous owner moved to Africa.
Maintenance Night Tasks:
I cleaned first floor and basement
Carole did the ramps and reception
We both did the garbages in our sections
Since I'd be becoming night patroller, Carole took the time to show me the trucks, how the side doors opened along with what materials I should always have on hand before heading out to pick up an animal.
Quick list:
Leashes
Tag number for animals
Pick-up sheet
Pens
Cat carrier
Shovel
Metal leash pole (agressive dogs)
Blankets/towels
Garbage bags
Gloves
Cat/dog food
So its about four in the morning and we're ready to take our breaks till we notice that, thanks to daylight savings....its 3:00am again so we're pulling a 9hour shift. While we took a break anyway, the doorbell rang. Someone came to drop off a black and grey stray cat, it was a little boy and what a boy he was!!
We took a longer break since we were done all our tasks and I kept checking my cellphone, when would the change take place? I though that maybe it had to be manual but i couldnt find anything in the option menu.
We started feeding the dogs, I worked upstairs while Carole took the basement and i heard a buzz at the door. I checked the clock and it was about 5:30am and i had just finished feeding all the dogs. I unlocked it seeing two girls and they brought in a Stray Giant Schauzer with its ears cropped.
I took down all the information but I couldnt help but stare at these two girls dressed as....hookers. We spoke a bit and as I watched them leave, I stiffled a laugh seeing they had bunny tails on their asses. What kind of strippers were these girls?! Oh yeah, it was Halloween night!!
The rest of the shift went well and lets just say, my phone kept being retarded until 7:30 am when it finally caught up to the world and had the right time on the screen.
