Day 2
First workday & a lovely evening ✨
May 28, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
📷

🧽 after first morning walks we clean the kennels
🤗 cuddles during cleaning of course
☕ landed in a South-American coffee bar during shifts, where we had cake with coffee on top (look closely) - delicious! and only €1,80
🍦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 🤭Read more

📷

🐕‍🦺 Walked Merida (without cone!) and Chaplin
🐕‍🦺 Walked silly, energitic Tovo
🌴 Went to the park
☕🍰 Had THE nicest vegan chocolate cake, oh my god
🌺 Came back for the second shift and admired the pretty flowers that are all over the shelter
🐕‍🦺 Walked silly Tovo again on my second shift
🐶 Got Chaplin to walk, but didn't want to walk any further so we waited on his housemate Puca. He came sitting on my leg, and chilled against my back.
😺 Cleaning the cattery
🩹 Don't worry, not from a dog, just an encounter between clumsy me and a sharp edge 💁🏽‍♀️
🗨️ Socialize time! I went with Zagnis first, she's alone (for) now because her housemate Tomé got adopted. Of course I brought some treats!
🐾 Then went to sit with Azul and Yeshua, they are both so sweet!
🍦 We went back in town for ice cream - straciatella and cookies hmmm
🧁 And brought some pastries back home too, to have a snack for my day off with Loki tomorrow
👯‍♀️ Quickly took a picture together during the last seconds of golden hour - ARA friendships 💛
🌄 Sun was down, end of the day, went home to have some rice for dinner!Read more

😻 She was posing
🥟 Went to a South-American inspired bar and ate a bean and cheese empanada with garlic sauce - yay could speak un poco espanol
🐕 Second shift started by getting the dogs out of the parks to their kennels - for this pack we build a wall and let them run free - wait for old Castro at the end! I think he made an effort to run for the camera, because normally he walks slowly 🥹

🧼 Gave Pascoal a wash wash
🧽 And Lokibear too
📸 Went to do a little photoshoot of some dogs, meet: Loki, Tovo, Gnocchi, Simone, Zimbabue, Smoke, Aslan and Mayra
