Shelter Journal update 11/13/13

I've been skipping doing my journal here, it becomes tedious. But I do want to remember the dogs I interact with and what goes on! After a failed foster attempt (she was later taken to the Humane Society, which is no-kill) I took the next week off. I needed to emotionally rest. It's easy to get burned out at the shelter and I am very aware of how I'm feeling. Most days I look forward to going to the shelter. Some days my jaw is tight and I swallow hard thinking about going in, and on those days I skip. I went the following week on Tuesday and Thursday, then last week one of my best friends came to visit so I didn't go in. Which bring us to this week!

Yesterday I took my camera in, it really is a nice change of pace. I also get to do good training having the dogs sit, stay, and/or make eye contact, and getting action shots of them playing and chasing toys is fun. I emailed in some of the photos for dogs that really needed better pics and they've been updated.
