Yea, money is always an issue... I wish it wasn't but, can't help it.
(I tell my Cragar that "I have to keep working to keep him in the style to which he's become accustomed" LOL)
I guess I thought I was rambling because sometimes I just seem to go on and on without making a clear point!!

And when I get really emotional about something... like this poor beautiful dog upstairs here, I just can't control sometimes what comes out of my mouth (or fingers, in this case)...
I don't know - I think maybe I'll just start by contacting the humane society in my area - I just went to their website and they had a volunteer form I could download. I'm thinking of maybe starting by trying to volunteer as a dog walker or help with fundraisers. I tend to be good at that PR type stuff, so maybe that will be of some use. And it may be a double benefit, if I could get my Cragar around other dogs - he doesn't get around other dogs often and he tends to have a bit of a napoleon complex.
I just want to feel
useful - I mean, I come in to my job now, make money for the company (sure, they're paying me for it, but I'd like to see a little of the money the company earned off of me!!!) and go home. Sure, there's satisfaction that I do my job well, but I'm starting to think animals just may have been my calling!!! Maybe it's just the overload of having two dogs that need homes affect me strongly in the same week!!! And of course, it may be PMS - so a bit emotional!!
