In hopes of finding a new brother or sister for Maggie, we headed out to two animal shelters in the Salem area. I loved this little doggie! So cute.



This lil guy is JERRY. I want him. Look at his face.



A bird, no doubt angry we didn't take any dogs home, left a present for us on the car windshield.



On to the 2nd shelter! This cat's name is Richard... (Hehehe)



Yet another dog I wanted...

*MOM - when you read this - get Dad and show him. He will let me take one home!!!*

Today was insane at work. Gorgeous day in Toronto but I barely stepped outside because the phones were ringing and the emails wouldn't stop coming.

I did manage to 30 minute break near the end of my shift. I enjoyed a yum Starbucks no foam latte while sitting in the park people watching. It was hot as balls so I'm not sure why I ordered a hot coffee... and why I sat in direct sunlight while I drank it.... but it was the nicest, most relaxing part of my day.... UNTIL....

This freaky pigeon came around me hunting for food. There are a lot of pigeons in the park, but this one was "off." He was staring at me. He'd come really close to my feet. He wouldn't move for minutes at a time. Eventually his presence is what brought me back to work - there wasn't something right, like Esther the Orphan, something wasn't right with this pigeon. I actually had a nervous laugh while watching him. He was so still, and SO close to me, I was just waiting for him to fly up in my face and poke my eyes out. Either that pigeon is from hell or I'm paranoid.
