Depressing

So I'm on this yahoo list (ok, I'm on a lot of yahoo lists, but) that's for a doggie rescue railroad. The basic idea is to get dogs transported from high kill shelters to rescues or no-kill shelters elsewhere in the country. But because it's mostly a list of rescues, there are also a lot of postings when shelters are overcrowded and begin euthanizing. And THAT'S depressing. DE.PRESS.ING. Especially this time of year. Apparently everyone drops their dogs off on their way out of town for vacation because it seems the number of shelters putting down dogs is way up. And alas, other than driving the occasional leg of doggie rescue, there's not much we can do. We're all full up.

If anyone needs me, I'll be sniffling over dying puppies in some weird self-flagellating burst of energy.
