Who: Scarlett and Rey What: Dog walking Where: park near the shelter Warnings: probably not When: afternoon Status: in progress, closed
Scarlett wasn't sure she was ready to adopt a dog yet but she missed having animals around. Her mom had been a veterinarian and back home she'd been able to borrow Jesse's folks dog once in a while to get her fix. Here she just felt bad about having a dog in an apartment because she liked big dogs and they needed more room. Maybe it was time to think about finding a house.
In the meantime she volunteered with the shelter to exercise the dogs there and teach some of the wilder ones some manners. Today she was walking a pretty dalmatian mix whose only issue was he jumped on everyone ALL the time. She was teaching him better and when he was better he'd get snapped right up with his spotted bib and big canine grin.
"Remember the rules doofus. No attention unless all four feet are on the ground." She backed up a step when he jumped so he didn't connect and as soon as all four feet were down Scarlett petted him and made over him. The idea that he only got attention when he was standing there was starting to click in his little brain.
