Volunteering at HSSV

Crystal and I recently started volunteering at the local Humane Society of Silicon Valley. There’s an incredible amount of training you have to do just to become a “Cuddler”, and that’s the level we’re at. Once we’ve put in 10 hours of cuddling, and passed the test (yes, a written test) we can become a “Dog Walker” and we’re allowed to take the dogs outside on leash! Anyway, the road is long to get fully trained, but here’s a picture of the dog we got to play with at our training on Tuesday. I already forget her name. She was so gentle with her mouth when taking treats from our hands. Perfect behavior for a pitbul.

I’ll put up more photos and talk about the training and volunteering experience in later posts.
