Total Volunteer Time: 5 1/2 hours.
Travel Time (Thursday 2/11) - 40 minutes
I spent two hours yesterday evening at PHS getting dogs out for their night bathroom break. Tonight was a surprisingly regular evening. I took out three dogs, all the dogs had gotten out and we just had to focus on the potty list which also looked really good.
Though one of my dogs, Rambo, hadn't had a walk yet that day, which struck me as odd, because while he is a bigger dog, he's very gentle and stays by your side on the walk. He doesn't pull. So I took him for his thirty minute walk and he was piece of cake. He gives little bunny kisses because his lower jaw is a lot shorter than his upper. It's adorable.
My brother and I took out a bonded pair, two dogs that are very close either because they came in together or because they've bonded while at the shelter and must be adopted together, Mamas and JD. Mamas is this tiny blue heeler, so this itty bitty black herding dog. JD is this giant shepherd. But they came in together and need a loving home. They are also a breeze to walk and they also give kisses. JD being a shepherd, his are a little wet and undignified, whereas Mamas, having a tiny mouth, has very soft, little kisses.
The four of us that do doggies on Thursdays ended with one of our favorites, Coco, in the indoor dog park at the Lantos facility on Rollins. It's beautiful. Coco is a long-legged brown Chihuahua who is extremely affectionate once she knows you but it does take her a little while to warm up to new people. She's hilarious, she'll run all over as fast as her legs can carry her and then suddenly jump on someone's lap and sit there as long as they pet her.
