Today was a different kind of dog day. I went with 4 of the men from the park to the local animal shelter. It's a large facility with three or so acres of fenced area for exercising the dogs. We each took a dog from the kennels for a walk around the facility. The idea is to give the dog a little exercise and some human contact. After about 15 minutes, you put that dog back and get another.
The shelter is a no kill shelter. It was nice to see that they didn't really have a lot of dogs. There were maybe 20 at most. They also have a separate area for cats. They had three black kittens about 10 weeks old. One was exceptionally friendly when I played with it. Wife and I used to have a black cat. It died about 15 years ago. I've always wanted another one. Unfortunately a call to the wife produced a negative response. I'll wait until she comes back and then take her to the shelter.
The dog walking took up the morning (who says retirement isn't exciting?). I spent the afternoon completing some of the projects that I bought supplies for yesterday. I've got one left to finish and another to start. That's probably a good thing since it started raining hard about 8:00 tonight. The rain knocked out the satellite TV. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. I'll need something to do.
