The kids decided they really wanted to go volunteer at Best Friends. Our friend Jeff works up there and he met us up there and got us situated. We had to watch an orientation video first, which Jarrin was not very patient for. Then Jeff had it set up so the kids could go to "Old Friends". This is where the old dogs are. McKenna really wants to work with dogs, but she is also half afraid of them. We thought this would be a perfect place for them to get their feet wet! We got to go around and meet all the dogs. The girls also helped wash dog dishes since we got there right after feeding time. Then they arranged for the kids to take one of the dogs on an outing. We took Mariette. She wasn't exactly an old dog, but she was super sweet. She ended up in "Old Friends" because she was sick with pnuemonia when she came to Best Friends and now has heart worm. She was great with the kids and they loved her. We brought her home and they walked her around the yard, brushed her, and fed her treats. The kids had a great time and are already begging to go back.
