It's getting down to the wire, only one more day left as an intern at GDB. I am really sad that it's coming to an end, but so thankful for all the memories I've mad, the experiences I've had, and all the dogs I've come to love.
Today was a pretty usual day at GDB. I arrived bright and early and K3 was just finishing morning feeding so I jumped right on in and collected bowls and started washing/acceling them. Like every morning, I locked a quad of dogs in and headed out to scoop/accel/spray out runs. Once I was done with morning cleaning I headed down to the 9:30 daily CWT meeting and listened in. All the CWT's meet every morning to discuss how all the cleaning is going, if anyone needs help, etc. After the meeting me and my mentor headed back down to K3 to do community run. I love doing community run, most of the dogs are generally well behaved but occasionally you get a "problem child." We filled up the pool for the dogs, and most of the dogs loved running through it, and then proceeded to run up to us and get us all wet! The quad we ran today, had Mojito's brother in it, so it was really neat to see how much he looked like Mo and how he acted. Their sister came in with the weekend recall and is being evaluated for a breeder, so I hope she passes! She is a really sweet and loving girl, nothing like Mojito and his brother who are high energy and act like goofy goldens most of the time! We did community run for a good 45 min and then put all the dogs away, cleaned up the toys, and drained the pool. Once all the dogs were in, enrichment was handed out and we locked them all in, and now it was lunch time!
My smart self forget my lunch on the counter this morning, so I headed over to the mall to grab something and make it back in 30 min! I was successful! I barely had enough time to sit and eat my food before I had to get back to work!
I headed back to K3 to find my mentor and we collected enrichment, and I cleaned all the Kongs and refilled them again for tomorrow! Since there was really nothing to do, me and 3 other people each grabbed dogs and we went for another cemetery walk! The dogs love getting out, especially for long walks. The rest of the afternoon was pretty relaxed I helped write vet checks/meds in each dogs file in the binder and made sure all the other dogs were up to date. There were several career changes today so I made career change tags, and went and brought the dog over to K3 so they could go home with their raisers or get adopted!
It was now food prep time, so I did a food count and scooped all the food, and of course the dogs heard me so they were going crazy! 3:00 came and the dogs knew it! I started feeding the dogs, and then I went on break. I got back and helped lock in dogs so I could scoop/spray the runs. I finished in K3 so I headed over to K2 & K1 and helped them clean. That was pretty much my day! I have really enjoyed this experience!
