    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.

    Congrats on your engagement! I know Courtney Thorne-Smith had her B and her other dog in the wedding. I think B's look great in tuxedos;-)

    my dogs also do that. I think Gromit can find out which cream you are using by the taste of it. Regards, Esther

    We had a lovely day with family and friends. Cory got a new coat and enjoyed a big bone in her crate while we all opened gifts. The crate was by the fireplace and she had a good vantage point without being tempted to assist in the unwrapping of gifts. She hadn't ever seen a fire in the fireplace before and wasn't too sure about it at first. (We don't get too many chances in coastal Georgia to justify building a fire.) We hope everyone's Christmas was as good. Pat
