"...was it true? The flowers we saw that day?" [DAY 2]

Second Day Volunteering at Rocket Dog

November 1st, 2015

It took a little bit of getting used too, but my partner and I finally got the hang of how to take care of the dogs, and how to act in an event of aggressive behavior by them. By then I was still 17, so the bigger more notorious/aggressive dogs were left to the senior volunteers.

 My partner always got lucky and got to sit and take care of the cute puppies. I was stuck with the troublesome corgis and chihuahuas, which is not necessarily a bad thing. They were still awfully cute. It was a surprisingly hot day, and many people came out and adored the dogs. I learned more about how the fostering system worked, and foster parents. I compared it to leasing a car at the time. 

Since the weather was very hot, we walked the dogs plenty of times and fed treats and gave water. As the day rolled to an end, I went to the back to do some heavy lifting. I still need to learn the names of the volunteers and managers as well as who is fostering who.
