Slobber and Poop

In the spirit of adventure I have gone out and begun volunteering at the BCSPCA.
The people there are fantastic, and the doggies
are very sweet. The first dog I walked was Angel.

Now, I know what you are all thinking, especially those in the un-Pit-friendly Ontario, and I too was rather hesitant about wandering about with a Pitbull I had only just met. But let me say for the record, this dog is the sweetest lady you could hope to meet. Strong as a bloody Ox! But very sweet. She went a bit crazy wanting to "play" with some crows, but who can blame her? If I was in a kennel all day I'd want to run around and chase everything that moved too.

Tonight I walked Odie, who sadly I don't have a picture of, but if you imagine the biggest, dorkiest, STRONGEST, shepherd mix...that's dear Odie. However, here's a picture of my hand after our hour walk. Please note the Loonie sized blister on my palm. The BCSPCA co-ordinator asked me if my arms were any longer. I should measure too be sure!

After Odie, I decided to have a more relaxing go of it with Freddy. If anyone out there in Blogland has a bit of property, or likes to go for a good jog. Freddy is awesome! Very gentle, pretty good on a leash, and super smart. Why people have Border Collies in the city I will never understand. They are bred for herding. It is their raison d'etre. Freddy's greatest joy in life is to organize. Seriously such a Virgo! Sadly, if he can't get his sheep or ducks all in a row, he'll organize the neighbourhood cats, or the tires on moving cars. Silly, sweet little dude.
