I get why people drink or do drugs too much. It's so you can turn your brain off and forget for awhile. I could so easily be an alcoholic (except for the puking part). I'm not, but I can completely get it.
I KNOW that Hogan Street is said to have to worst teenage offenders in the state. I thought it sounded good, added to the dramatic quality of working there. I didn't REALLY think it was accurate. It is. Not for all the boys, but still, it is.
There is one boy there that I, in spite of my best efforts, don't like and I barely know him. He seems evil to me. He also doesn't like dogs at all, so I hold that against him too. As it turns out he is a serious sex offender and he has been brazen beyond all belief at the facility writing nasty letters, graphic, to the staff. I will never let him in the program. I feel unsettled tonight just being alone and feeling unprotected. It may be time to get the Doberman.
Another boy shot someone point blank in the face.
Another kid went after someone with a machete. Another boy...................
You never know which ones will surprise you the most when the dogs come into their lives.
But for now, I am still thinking Doberman.
Gotta go, need to quiet my thoughts.
Peace. Peace upon us all.
Cindy
