Last week I was able to help in making toys for dogs and cats at the animal shelter. I had no idea we could make toys with t-shirts. it was a very creative idea and I had a lot of fun. Designating certain parts of the t-shirt for certain types of toys was efficient and very smart. I was very happy to know that they would go to wonderful animals that need them. I never had a pet and my family decided to get one for my little sister after I came to Cornell; however, I more have grown attached to our dog so much and having her made me appreciate pets so much more. I see the impact they can have on someone’s life and am so thankful for having the opportunity to have a pet. I was glad to be able to do this and help a bit in keeping the animals at the shelter happy. Hopefully soon they can find a home and get more toys to play with!
