Dog Shelter update

It has been about two months since I started walking dogs at the shelter.  I have been test driving dogs to find a good fit for me.  If the entire walk consists of me pulling the dog back, that is not much fun for anyone.  So, I have found the perfect dog for me.  His name is Bogar and they told me that he is one of their older, calmer dogs.  He seems to recognize me and doesn't rush out of the gate like a race horse when they put the leash on him.  He responds to his name, seems to like his head petted and knows the meaning of "nem" (no).  So I am thinking about starting an exclusive relationship with him.

The goats and sheep have had babies in the last few weeks.  They also have a new addition; a young deer with one deformed ear.

On Sundays there are lots of families visiting.  They feed the goats and sheep and play with the dogs.  Hopefully, the adoption rate is good, I have no way of knowing.

I have been very impressed with the cleanliness of the place and the devotion of the staff toward the dogs.  When I indicated to this employee that I would like to take a picture of him and Bogart, he picked the dog up and beamed.
