At the most recent rummage sale, a man had approached Lynne asking if she wanted a lot of books. Apparently he owned a storage unit company, and a used book dealer had left two entire storage units full of books. There were so many books, that Project Purr could only take half of them for that rummage sale and agreed to take the rest for the next sale. Over the course of the summer, Lynne and Margaret had taken trips to the storage unit to take loads of books to Project Purr’s storage area. On Thursday, Lynne and I took the last two loads.
It was exhausting work, putting heavy boxes of books into the truck, and then taking them off the truck. Luckily at the storage unit, the owner and his friend helped us quite a bit. They both seemed like pretty shady people, but they ended being really nice. It was funny though, because the friend thought I was married, and the owner thought I wasn’t in high school yet! I guess I look younger and older than my age at the same time! The owner had a purebred Rotweiller, who was a little less than a year old, and the sweetest thing ever. He needed some serious training (he didn’t know his own strength) but all he wanted was to play. I played with him for a little bit, and tried to do a little training too. I have to admit, though, he needed to be neutered!
Anyway, I don’t know if there’s much to be said about hauling books, except that you have to raise money if you want to do cat rescue, and it may involve manual labor.
