Metaphor

As i walked through the front of the shelter, a mixture of strange smells hit my nostrils , as if the smells were a huge bat and my nose was a small ball. I smelled so many different smells, a few were...

• Fishy cat food
• Smelly dog
• Strong shampoo
• Kitty fur
• Dogie poop
• Coffee

As I walked throughout the shelter, I touched many different things. A few were...

• Heavy, wet towels
  
• Sticky, dirty dogs
• Fresh, soft kitty fur
• Clean, thick shampoo

I felt so many different thoughts and feelings throughout the day, some including...

• How hungry I felt
• How cold I was from my wet clothes
• How much I was sneezing from being around the cats
• When the shift was going to be over

Blocking out a lot of the noises throughout the shelter is impossible. I heard...

• Cat whines and purrs
• Loud, barking dogs
• Fingers pecking at computer keyboards
• Laughing and screaming kids

I was so hungry that I could taste practically anything, even if I was not eating. I could taste...

• My old, tasteless gum
• The aroma of wet, damp dogs
• Nasty poop
• Pet shampoo, as I was touching my lip

I saw what I usually see everyday...

• Tired, old lady workers
• Dogs, Cats, and your occasional hamsters and rabbits
• Dirty tubs and floors
• Children
• The clock
• Kennels and animal cages

Overall the day was okay, just the usual.
