[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 176022, member: 1991"] Volunteering in a vet-related area is how difficult child 1 met girlfriend. Both were volunteers at the local zoo. Just working at the zoo helped difficult child 1 learn a lot of appropriate skills etc. When he first started there, they expected he wouldn't last more than six months. They have a long waiting list of volunteers and turn them over faster if they're useless. But after a shaky start, difficult child 1 turned out to be NOT useless; in fact they liked him so much they kept him on for a lot longer than they usually keep volunteers. They wanted him to stay, but difficult child 1 left in order to get a paying job somewhere. I also was so determined to keep difficult child 1 working at the zoo for as long as he wanted, that I was prepared to drive him there and back even though it was an hour's round trip, twice a day. Worth it. Marg [/QUOTE]
