I am not really a big dog person. I prefer cats and I have two cats Raphael and Iris. However, I am enjoying walking dogs at the animal shelter. There is a large great dane named Logan. He is a little thin but loves to be petted. I took my son and daughter out to walk him today. He has happy tail because he keeps banging his tail on the wall which makes it bleed. My daughter ran with him for awhile. He liked that. Then we walked Goldie. Goldie is a little plump but very well mannered. She is a cow herding dog and was very nice to walk. She doesn't pull on the leash and I can tell she so much wants to be taken to somebody's home. I am thinking of fostering her for the weekend. I am not really set up to have a dog full time but I am thinking it might work for the weekend. My favorite dog is Ghost. She is about 14 months old and is a white shepard. She doesn't listen very well and kind of goes all over the place on a leash. Last week when I walked on her she had jumped all over me and I had muddy paw prints on my jacked and on my jeans. We have a very nice animal shelter in Sandpoint. It was funded by a grant from Cold Water. It is hard to see the animals in small cages but it is a nice facility and it is a no kill facility. Last year there was a cat, Davy Jones, who knew how to open doors and so when staff came in the morning they would find the cats running all over the place. Davy Jones was adopted by a couple that had a dog who knew how to open doors as well.
Two of our animal we've bought came from the animal shelter one white and black cat whose turned out to be a very good indoor / outdoor cat. She is very gentle and has a great personality. Her black and white colored features fit her personality.
ReplyDeleteThats awesome that you guys go walk the dogs together. I am worried if I did that I would take one home. We got our older dog from the shelter and he is awesome. I liked the story about Davy Jones, that could be a children's book!
ReplyDeleteThis was a hard post not to comment on. We have a 'pound puppy' that turned our to be 13 and I thought he was only 4 years old. We love him just the same. It's hard for me to go and walk the dogs at the pound, because I just want to take them all home. Since we already have two dogs and two cats, I have to limit my time there. :)
