I did not wake up yesterday expecting to foster a dog. But, well, here we are.
This good boy is getting neutered on Wednesday when his stray-hold ends. He’ll be with us until he finds a home. Are you looking for a dog?! I think it’s safe to assume he hasn’t had the easiest go at life, and I don’t think anyone is looking for him. He’s a hungry guy with some scratches and missing fur, but he’s the sweetest soul. They think he’s about 4.5 years old.
I know this isn’t bodywork or massage related. However, amidst all the activity of getting this guy settled, I was thinking about how my first experience in care work was in animal care.
I’ve worked at doggy daycares and spent time as a vet receptionist. At one point, I was considering becoming a vet tech, but obviously took a different path.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a dog, consider this guy when he’s available. We’ve been calling him Philbert, like a hazelnut. Please share!
