excerpts from my notes when i walked dogs at the local pound

Someone had Charlie out when I got in, so I did kennel enrichment with other dogs until he got back. We spent some time hanging out in the couchless break room until he realized we weren't going out again and laid down. Then I took him back to his kennel and met other dogs for a little more time.

Once most of the dogs on the floor were asleep, I took Charlie out on a long loop around one of the side streets, not allowing him to be more than one dog-length away from me at any time. He got distracted and tried to wander off many times, but never worried at his leash. Once we got back inside, we went and sat in the couch room to let him wind down before I put him back in the kennel.
