Volunteering at the Austin Humane Shelter: Part 9
So having talked fairly generally about what was going on at the Austin Humane Shelter during 2012 (with some comments about my involvement), I want to switch gears into self-indulgent prattling mode and talk about how it was (or wasn’t) affecting me personally. Some of this will detail my time at the shelter, some of it will tie in with stuff about my own dogs ALFIE and NORMAN, who I have written about in their own article series.

Yup, Bastrop again. Because between the drought and the heat and everything else, Austin can become a tinderbox and shit sometimes burst into flames. And there was a really horrible fire out in Bastrop. Like weeks of land burning and people losing their houses kinds of fires.

So last time in Volunteeering at the Austin Humane Shelter: Part 6, I talked about my move up to blue BRATT and the start of the year’s craziness which was that Bastrop Hoarding Event. And while that one event would have been enough to exhaust anyone, it was just the start of the absolute craziness that was 2011. We continue with the next big shelter drama, a rare occurrence but one that caused a lot of problems.

I’ll be mainly focusing on 2011 since, frankly, last year was crazy almost from start to finish. Actually, it wasn’t crazy, it was pretty much a disaster. Things started off quietly enough, the first couple of months were just normal times at the shelter. I was deep into my winter training grind and volunteering regularly. We pick up in Februrary, 2011.
