I walk dogs

...all kinds of dogs! I am a volunteer dog walker for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley and this is a chronicle of my adventures in walking dogs. A friend of mine decided I should start recording my experiences with walking dogs at the shelter so this is my account.

Why do I walk dogs? I love dogs. Always have. I love just to look at dogs - they come in so many shapes and sizes and colors and temperaments. I enjoy trying to guess what breed they might be or how many they might be! I love interacting with them and watching them just be dogs.

I don't see myself as giving to the dogs when I walk them and care for them at the shelter but more like taking from them. THEY give to me. The dogs may even think I'm giving to them but they're the ones who give to me. My friend even commented about how happy I look when I'm with the dogs.
