    Arrival day 👀🐾

    27 Mayıs 2023, Portekiz ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Arrived! Lots of info 🤪 and a tour around the shelter, that is all the dogs, cats and even bunnies! 😍 (about a 100 in total!)

    📷
    🧢 anxious on the plane, but was prepared for the adventure with the cap obviously - can't wait to get a own hoodie or T-shirt here!
    🥾 hike to the grocery store, could get used to this view
    🐈 spend the evening in one of the cat places - Mendes felt like posing
    🍋 three cats and a lemon from the yard
    🥭🍌 first breakfast, fruit, honestly because I didn't fully know yet how this kitchen works, we'll see tonight 🤩🍝
    🐶 Our house dog Kenia, a sweet old lady who likes her space - oh, and food so everything has to be locked in the kitchen 🔒    Okumaya devam et

    🧽 after first morning walks we clean the kennels

    🍦grabbed some more sugar before the extra shift
    🐕‍🦺 walked Disney on my second shift - aka running a few meters and then stopping for a few minutes to enoy the view (her call)
    🐕 after putting the dogs from the parks in their kennel, and cleaning the parks, we socialized with young Mr Tovo, he's very playful!
    🍝 Made my first dinner, or should I say dinner for tomorrow too? and, of course it's pasta
    🌇 Went into Loulé in the evening where we roamed the streets during sunset,
    🪽 and saw storks!!
    🍹There once was a German, an American, two Dutch girls and a Belgian at a café, but I won't tell you how the joke ends 🤭    Okumaya devam et

    29 Mayıs 2023, Portekiz ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    📷

    🐕‍🦺 walked our 14 yr old (!) housedog, Kenia. She will only walk with treats
    🐶 Met our look-a-like Pickels (dog we rescued from Spain), Ravena. She's looks just like him and also always want to sit on my lap. I'm sorry Ravena, but I got to clean your bed
    🍫 Don't need to explain, (chocolate) cakes are the BEST on vacation!!
    🐕‍🦺 With enough sugar, I had a run with sweet Merida. She doesn't like walking too much and rather runs 🏃‍♀️
    🥎 Threw a ball while cleaning the big park
    🗣️ Time to socialize! My first dog: Jude, who lives with the sweet, playful Napoleon (on the first picture)
    🍬 Was able to give her a treat out of my hand! And by the end pet her real carefully, she's lovely and defenitely needs a lot more love 💕
    🐕 Second socializing of the day: 12 year old Smoke & she decided to give me some love too 👅    Okumaya devam et

    First adoption event 🎪

    1 Haziran 2023, Portekiz ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    📷

    🐕‍🦺🧽 In the morning I walked Kenia (yes, she was already asking for a treat, she got her breakfast right after) and said hi to the bébés, Carlitos and Caleb, and sweet Loki while cleaning their cages.
    🐇 They asked pictures of the little (and big) bunnies who are for adoption
    😻 And while I was there I said hi to the little kittens (they're for adoption too 🤭)
    🎪 After that I went to my first adoption event, apparently it was Children's Day in Portugal and they play and party the whole day. We brought the bébés, old Dandi (white), best friends Spike (brown) and Oscar (black) and Albano (little brown). For this I got my volunteering T-shirt so it's official now! We raised some money and I helped a boy get over his fears of big dogs. Oh and I also ate a shrimp kroketta 🤣🤭    Okumaya devam et
