Adventures in Dogwalking: Izzy

What a wet morning! Even so, I trooped on over to the SPCA for my weekly dog-walking outing. The dog I walked was the smallest dog I've ever walked so far, but was soooooo cute! Look at his face! His name is Izzy.



Unfortunately for poor Izzy, the rain and the mud did not combine well with his white fur. Pretty soon, he looked like he had been dipped in chocolate from the legs up to his tummy. One other volunteer said, "What happened to your dog? He's all wet." Well, of course he is, it's raining! I don't have the power to not be rained on because the dog I'm walking is white!

Anyways, it was a very uneventful walk. Izzy got anxious when the bigger dogs came nearby and barked at them. I think once he got used to me, though, he seemed less anxious and didn't bark so much afterwards. When I took him back into his kennel, I managed to dry some of him off with a towel, an act he was happy to contribute towards by shaking himself all over the place. Sadly, as soon as I left the kennel, he ran right up to the fence and started whining really loudly. It took all my willpower not to run right in there again to cuddle him...because that would've started some really bad habits for him.

Yes, a very uneventful morning. Which is why this is a very uneventful blog.

Woot.
