After lunch, it was time to head back to Best Friends for my afternoon assigment. I had already spoken to the caregiver about taking one of the dogs, Esme, for a car ride. In order to take this trip, I needed to stop at the Dog Town HQ to make arrangements for an "outing". They gave me water & water bowl, treats, poop bags and an assessment form. Well prepared, I went to get Esme. I had met her in the morning but she doesn't really like to take walks. She's a ten year old female pit bull who was used for breeding before rescued by Best Friends. Esme may not like walking but she loves car rides so with her in the passenger seat and me behind the wheel, it was "outing" time. I had to have her back by 4pm so I could basically drive north for about an hour and then turn around and drive back which is exactly what we did. Unlike many other dogs, Esme has no interest in sticking her head out the window or trying to "escape", she just likes to lay in her seat and chill. Or, she likes to push up against me which made driving interesting but she's so loving and sweet, that was actually my favorite part!
That wrapped up my day at Dog Town and tomorrow I'm volunteering at Cat World for both morning and afternoon sessions.
