post-placement post (picture edition)

Crying so hard because uni tomorrow at the ripe old time of 9am meaning back to the old 6:30 wake up sigh. Anyway, visiting the shelter on Friday was just what I needed, when I'm there I feel like I really understand what inner peace is. I'm glad H. was there! Everyone was asking me how uni was but I hadn't started yet www. Also I got trolled the whole journey on my way there because the usual place I get into the left lane was not right because there were parked cars up ahead in that lane but I couldn't see because a big truck was in front of me and blocked my view == During placement, I went to the shelter so early, and left so late that usually the clearway hours applied so no one could park in those lanes but I went at midday so when I tried to get into the left lane three times, it had parked cars so I became that kind of P plater which constantly had to change lanes OTL Anyway picture spam time! These pictures are all from my time at placement: 
This guy really hates pats! He really dashes to the other side of the cage
when you try (forgot how timid rabbits are because ours were so friendly). Hehe
his albino-ness, floppy ears, super small flat face and dislike of pats
really reminds me of our Johnson (yes we gave him a funny name,
but nothing else really "fit").
 
Pretty and friendly bunny ^^ All three of our rabbits were solid coloured
so if I ever got to have a rabbit like this I'd be super happy (because
of the novelty of it?)
Omg the greyness and the friendliness of this
bunny honestly reminded me of Lucy (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣
ू)
   
Lucky last, the super pretty boy who arrived literally on the last hour of my last day T_T He looks tri-coloured, and has the cutest black "mask" on his face, black ears and black socks. So on my last day there were six rabbits and they have all well and truly been adopted since then!
Funny story. I'm allergic to cat and dog fur and yet I didn't have any problems during placement (a couple of mosquito bite-like lumps at most). We've had rabbits before and I was mostly okay with them. However during placement the one time I had to clean out the rabbit cages I was literally honestly suffocating omg. Honestly almost couldn't breathe and I was coughing like crazy (was probably a little sick with my cold by that time). I think my asthma kicked in too x_x It must just be because it's a small-ish room and H. also thought it was weird I was fine with other animals and not rabbits and then hypothesised that I might be allergic to the hay there? Which totally makes sense since I do have an allergy to grass and also got the infamous "hay rash" when we went to the alpaca and llama farm earlier this year.
Polar bear, one of the fluffiest puppies ever (so much
fluffier in real life). His owners eventually came
and found him again!
Maggie, such a cute sweet girl. One of the only dogs that didn't tug like crazy
on their leash while walking. She was my favourite, and got adopted over the
weekends of my first week (I only do Mon-Fri) and when I came on Monday
she was gone :( I played with her a lot and looked after her quite a bit, one of
the volunteers J, says she probably still remembers me even if she's with new
owners. Not sure if it's true but omg would be so touched if it was.
Not sure who this is but as soon as I came through the door
on Wednesday/Thursday morning he was just sitting on the
front desk greeting visitors! I wonder why he has a green patch
on his fur? (No, it's not a reflection of anything)
Hehe Elle, who is quite head shy and will go into this pose
if you raise your hand and try to pat her. My favourite
cat after my first got adopted.
Elle is quite the needy baby, once you sit next to her she
climbs into your lap and once you stop patting her (literally one
second) she will nudge your hand until you start up again. She
got adopted the day after my last!
  Little nightmare Lily who usually resides at reception during day time, hypnotising people with her cuteness but don't be fooled! Literally two seconds after toilet walks and putting her into her overnight kennel, there will be poo everywhere (the devious thing). She's since been adopted, good luck to her new owners!  Me with Salt, or affectionately called "Salty." She's just
a small super skinny thing, and when she first arrived I thought
we'd have a big job on our hands because she was super scared,
stayed huddled in the corner of the kennel and barked at anything
that seemed slightly threatening. But after about two days she
really opened up and I could walk her like a normal dog! She likes to
get on her back and waits for a belly rub.
During one of my walks with Salt, a random Golden Retriever
started following us! He wasn't on a leash, and no person was with him.
Having seen Salt's previously super frightened form, I got worried for her
since she wasn't walking fast enough and eventually had to pick her up and
carry her away but the dog kept following T^T Eventually I put my palm out
and said "STAY" and it worked? Anyway Salt has since been reunited
with her owners!
Lastly, the whole of my last week I never saw the newest cat that was brought in
since he was very scared and never came out of his box (you wait for him
to get used to the new environment and come out on his own). Sometimes,
I really wondered if there was anything in there. Previously the paper on his
door read "I'm Obi, I'm still getting used to my new home so please
don't disturb!" or something like that.
However on my last day he finally came out and he's so preeeeetty
and I got to pat him before I left ヽ(≧ω≦)ﾉ
(Click to make bigger). Honestly, whoever wrote this
was a genius. I don't think many people really think about
these things.
