Where did you guys go shopping yesterday I forgot to ask you that? Did you guys get anything good?

I went shopping yesterday online on tractor supply ask my husband all about it because there was no room left in the car when he got home from there I got tons of goods.

Greensboro, NC. Yes, I got hardware at the restore. Got a nice glass cutting board at Goodwill and a stainless steel dog bowl, as well as a pair of work pants. I got 5 bunches of plants, and 3 new fish. Baked goods and a background for my fish tank, a small net, and a hut for the fish. I bought $50 worth of fabric and stuff at Joann fabrics. My friend filled up the trunk with stuff.

Giant Skittles will be very weird.

I’m sure they probably make them sign something and only hire older teenagers and usually most boarding places make the owners sign something too saying the kennel is not liable for anything that happens

Yeah we have that form.....people sign.....it really isn't much protection for the facility.

I'm sure those were wonderful experiences for you and it sounds like you were able to contribute in positive ways. I would have loved that too when I was in high school. But looking at it from a boarding facility's point of view.....the liability is a heavy consideration. What if a dog had bitten you? What if you had caused injury (accidentally, of course) to a dog? These are the things law suits are made of! A young, inexperienced person coming in from high school...interacting with dogs under our care without direct supervision.....it's just not worth the chance to us. Sorry your dream was sidetracked....it happens to most of us. B You love animals and I'm sure you will find a way to express that and contribute to their welfare! My best to you.

Actually the kennel had me sign a waiver and I also was put on their staff so that I was under their insurance. I also had to have my parents come in and sign a waiver as well and give my insurance information to them.

I was not allowed to interact with the dogs until I had a month of training from the owner. She actually ran training classes, grooming classes, and kennel classes as her job. She was a very smart person and very educated. She was trained by some of the best in the United States.

I'm glad I had those experiences as early as I did because if I had waited I would have never had a chance to experience it. I'm just glad that this woman took me under her wings and really gave me a good head start.

My grooming training is now used on my puppy that I have at least I get to use that knowledge for something!

It was a silly misunderstanding.

Sounds like it was a very fun day for you guys!

I'm having a day out on Monday with the husband. We are going to go to Red Robin so I can get my vegan birthday burger I've been getting my vegan birthday burger for about 5 or 6 years now from the same waitress. I'm probably going to end up dragging him to a bunch of different places just to walk around.

Wow....the fact that they made you go to classes and reserved permission for contact with the dogs is very unusual and admirable.
