March Blog Post

This month. . . I have not attended mentorship as much this month, simply because I have completed my hours. However, I still have been going. I've been doing what I have done before, which is walking the dogs, cleaning their kennels, folding/washing laundry and also giving them food and water. Just recently, I was given a new task, and that was washing dogs. At first, I was a bit nervous, but there was someone who was willing to wash a dog with me. (We ended up washing 3 actually.) I realized that you have to wash the entire body except the ears and top part of the head because water can get in the dogs ears and could cause infection. We were able to wash the dogs chest and chin. So, after shampooing and conditioning the dogs, we had to check off saying that they were washed and such. I realized that these dogs had not been in the shelter for very long seeing as they were placed in the back kennels of the shelter. They were fairly new, haha. Overall, mentorship has been going well, my hours are completed, so at this time around I will most likely be working on my senior project.
