Doggie Bag Days Season 2: Day 26

I had left on Friday feeling pretty good about the dent put into the clothing waiting to be hung up and tagged. However, there were apparently a lot of "leftovers" from rummage sales on Saturday as there were huge donations then and today.  One of groups that came to donate stuff was a couple who donated some of their stuff to us but apparently saw how full we were getting as they decided to take whatever they had left somewhere else. (According to our current manager, who has worked at the Doggie Bag off and on for quite some time, in the past, the Doggie Bag didn't have as much help as it does now, and some of the staff members would resort to turning donations away, which really bothered her. As far as I knew, that was never an option despite how crowded the back room would get.)

One person donated some outdated dresses that could be sold as costumes, if we're lucky. However, I think the manager is going to see if someone she knows in the theater business (or the theater department of the high school or college) might be interested in them.

There's still no word yet as to who is responsible for the break in/robbery that happened on Thursday night. We may or may not ever know, but maybe the tension of it will die down over time.
