Rehoming procedures part 2

I've already said how brilliant the local retired greyhound kennel's rehoming procedures are. What I didn't mention was they are not necessarily so good for a volunteer walker with favourite dogs. The first three dogs I asked for this morning were either out for a daytrip (Nicky and his kennelmate Becky were living it up at the park), and Pretty was being pampered on a sleepover.

Poor old Shawn was feeling very sorry for himself, because he was without his kennelmate, so we went for an extra long walk. When we got back to the kennels we found, to his delight, that one of the other volunteers had cooked up some sausages.

Sausages are the only treat that Shawn will eat and he wolfed them down with gusto. He then had plenty of cuddles, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for him as he was led back to his kennel by himself. Hopefully Pretty will be back to keep him company some time later today.
