Volunteering: Rain, Rain, and more Rain

What a weekend! Have you ever felt like you just need another weekend from your weekend? Hah! Saturday was full of house cleaning and organizing. Paul got some new (to him) furniture from his Grandfather's old apartment on Friday while I was at work. It might be a little over sized for his bedroom, but it works.

I went into the shelter to volunteer for a few hours Sunday morning. Its getting harder and harder to make time to take pictures of the dogs I walk when I go to volunteer. I'm so focused on getting as many as I can out for a walk, there just really isn't time. So I think instead of trying to take pictures of everyone, I may just choose one each week. As sort of an 'Adoptable Dog of the Week' segment. We'll see how that one goes, haha! 

By the time I got back home the little drizzle that started a bit towards the end of my shift had turned into a torrential down pour. (I feel like Tennessee winters are nothing but rain...) I thought that if I waited an hour or two the rain would stop, but no such luck... the rain only stopped when the sun started to go down. So there was no way we could have made a trip out. But there will be other chances to go to the dog park. I always feel a little guilty when the dogs don't get to go to the park on the weekends. 

They get walked during the week, and they play with each other in the house and out on the patio... but its just not the same as getting to see them sprint at full speed around the park with all the other dogs. I wish we were able to go more often...but once the days start getting longer and it warms back up, we will be able to reinstate our wednesday trips to the smaller/closer park after I get off work.
