Last night was one of those tough nights that ends up working out. Usually, there are four or five of us regulars that come in on Thursday nights to do the potty list. This time around, we were down to two. Also not in our favor, was how few dogs had actually gotten out earlier that day and how long the potty list was that week. So we got ourselves ready for a long night and the possibility we wouldn't be able to give all the dogs at least something.
But then the cavalry arrived. Three other volunteers showed up and we actually managed to fill up the board for Thursday. Every dog had gotten something by the time we were done. It was a great feeling going from a low to a high. But more often than not, we can ask other volunteers to show up and they do. We're independent most of the time, but we know how to work together with as many as three other people and how to network. There have been times in the past where I've been called in to fill in for someone else in their usual time slot because they're sick or out of town. It's really nice to be able to rely on other people who care as much as you do about the work we're all doing.
I did four dogs this week, which will be listed below along with a link to the adoptable dog page and the other half of their bonded pair. Seriously though, check them out.
