Hi-dee, y'all

  • Yeah, I know we don't usually share a lot of personal stuff on here. I've been largely absent and have missed you, but other things are taking up a large part of my life….

    Who knew a Norwegian guy could be so sweet....and hot? Hmmm...

    Guess handsome Mr. Nobarkus can stop looking over his shoulder...:D

    I'll check in now and then...just enough to stir it up a bit....

    Cheers!

  • Well we miss you, but, ….have fun!

    It seems to me there are a couple of issues here. I don't think a shelter wants just any JoeBloe walking in one day to say "hey I'd like to help by walking your dogs". The shelter needs to know something about its volunteers though a criminal check might be a bit much. If someone has been volunteering at a shelter for some time so the staff knows them and now new policies are being put into effect, then the shelter should have some sort of informational meeting/handout for all its volunteers so they know what and why. And even when volunteers have been accepted, some mini-training should be included for handling dogs. Many shelter dogs have been abused so I wouldn't want a volunteer who grew up under the "old" system of training with spanking and collar yerking now handling a special needs dog. Actual certification for dog walkers - no - the government intrudes enough.

    I love Chicago…most truckers think I'm a kook for having that opinion, but I've been known to go 75 miles out of my way just to sit in Chicago traffic. :D There's a certain energy in Chicago I can't find anywhere else in the world. And yes, that says a lot...I've been in major cities from Tokyo to Prague (Praha) to Munich to Seoul as well as amost every major city in the US. There's just something about Chicago.
