Chamomile Tea Valerian Root

One day as shelter, per l'Arantxa Hernandez

sounds the alarm. 7:10.


I open one eye, I turn and see Petri lying beside me looking as he begins to move his tail. Stretches. I turn to the other side, and Bella head cover both legs, trying not to give light. Buff ... Ten minutes. I love these moments. The alarm sounds again. 7:20. I make another attempt to get up, but no one answers. Another ten minutes. 7:30. Now I must get up. Come on girls! And the two hit jumped out of bed to the floor as if they had a spring in the legs. Berta Hello!

We left the room. Bella, so much emotion, it stops spinning. Petri is beginning to imitate ... We have to hurry before the release at home Bella! Still learning. Also, I have to walk with slow movements not to increase the excitement ... Berta, meanwhile, has moved or the couch, and watch the rest faced little desire ... But it is obligatory to go out at this hour??

I leave the bathroom, still has not peed. Berta Come move! I dress quickly and head to the door. Berta is on the couch. Petri and Bella appear to be in a rock concert, jumping and pushing sticking to each other, and both against the walls ... We're on the door. And Berta still on the couch. Beginning to call it from there, half whispering so as not to disturb the neighbors ... Berta! Neither case. I wear the shoes, jacket, lame, poop bags, glasses ... Berta goes! I still unanswered. The other two are increasing its edginess ... Damn, I'm not going to take time out! Lame straps. This moment is crucial. Berta finally gets up, but of course ... you have to stretch.

Bella turns around, and goes to meet Bertha. He crouches like Berta out their prey and would jump on it. Berta knows. It's the game all day. And the quiet signal that sends Bella Berta is walking more slowly ... They look at Berta delicately approaching, Bella jump on it and begins to bite the ears, collar ... Oh how much patience when you want Aunt!.

Petri caress the head of (his weakness) while we contemplate this ritual at the door.

I must admit that sometimes when I have a hurry, I simply approached the couch with Berta belt and put it directly without further contemplation.

Vale are already three. We must put straps. Following the pattern. Berta first, then Petri and finally Bella. Come is that we still have time to get off before you come forward to Bella!
I open the door ... Petri stampede out the door is still a hot spot. On his way, dragging her Bella. Like all puppies, Bella still loses his balance and falls to the ground ... Berta endure the onslaught of Perti and looks as if to say ... What a disaster of gauges!!

We arrived at the elevator. Shit, is not here, you have to call it. I press the call button ... Under the eyes of my girls ... and I see Bella in a position to piss Bella total ... no! ...

Too late. Here we have the pond in front of the elevator. Ale. Back to home, opened the door, comes to the gauges, closed the door, unhook straps, look for the bucket and mop, clean salt, and again the same.

When I go to leave the cube, Bella has prepared me another gift ... So I have yet to make one last cleaning before leaving again.

Now. And we can finally take the elevator. There is no hurry. It is 7: 50.

The park is a short distance but do not lost opportunity. Petri and Bella playing ... 'to see who pulls over. " Berta as always with me. We arrived, Berta release straps and Petri. Poor Bella can only die of anger at not being able to run with them. Nothing else drop them off at full speed until the end of the park. And Bella pulls are brutal. I hooked the flex, which although not recommended for dogs, in this case for Bella is vital. 5 meters more flexible than I was running with her. Still, it is not clear enough.

have to be careful ... Petri has screwed up here, and Berta has screwed up there. Remove the bags, Bella still jerking, contains the first poop. Walk until Berta, bend over and pick them up as Bella roll again. At that time Petri flies with us in mockery plan Bella ... 'ale and ale, you can not catch us. " As I can, I take the ball from his pocket and threw it away for Petri go get it, it gives me a few seconds, but few ... I have it back, Bella also wants the ball, but Petri just gives me to me to re-throw it ... Anyway ...

Where's Bert? Oh yeah, where ever ... the only corner of the park where the sun shines. There is lying. She has already finished and thinks it is necessary stay longer ... I turn to her and Shagged. Berta is great! After several releases and several collections Petri ball, we can return. Are obedient while, so I can not deny it. I start to walk toward the door after they were called, and immediately put them next to me waiting for the attachment of the belt. Greyhounds are that great. Now the long way to walk a little to stop them. I left several hours until the next ride.

entered at home. 8:30. Uncoupled to the gauges, change of shoes, leave the jacket off his glasses ... Bella is spinning, you know that it is almost time for the food and impatient. Berta and Petri already know, there wait, so they go to each site. On the way to the dining room I turn the heater in the bathroom. I go into my room, clothes and prepare to step into the shower. We in the rush. In the bathroom there is only one plug. You have to unplug the heater to plug the dryer. Then I hear in the room, especially Bella and Petri, jumping ... We played, and we have to!.

I'm ready. 8:50. I open the door and the two bitches like crazy. Berta is back on the couch, and until they see that you really, not moving.

food operation started. First the medicines. For Berta pill Bella Leishmania and their two doses of syrup. Petri reward also takes a bit of cheese. Now we can prepare the bowls. As I filled, Bella still does not stop spinning with excitement. Occasionally stop and stare at you ... but soon, it starts.

We return to the dining room. Cast bowls. Berta first, then Petri and finally Bella. I have to stay around to make sure that Bella, the fastest to complete, not eat food from dishes. Well, you have done ... 9:15.

I finished arranging and now all sleep. Walk out the door directly to the cafeteria where breakfast. Some quickie and the subway. 9:30.

In fifteen minutes I am in the office. 9:45. Workday begins. Mid morning I called Mary. I go out to the halls book in hand. Certain documentation must be sent by mail to prospective adopters. I sent him. We must also take a few necklaces to the store. Great, I can go underground. Have returned to a dog ... BASTARDS! And check back because adopter ... $ 200 seems a lot for doing a favor for a gauge ... Tap your BALLS!.
I return to the job. Let's see if I can not forget anything. Where was I? I remain connected to the servers of the client, buff, thankfully, have not lost the connection.

At noon
home. You have to feed Bella and remove to keep learning. I get home around 15:00.

The first thing to do upon entering, ignoring the recreation of a rock concert and Bella Petri jostling, is to clean the pee that Bella could not endure. Looking back the cube, change the water. Clean all ...

When everything is collected, the routine began to hit the street. 15:15. Belts, ball, shoes, jacket. Elevator. From this moment, no longer makes Bella home. The only critical point is during the morning.

Now it's sunny all the park. The scene is repeated poop collection, Bella shooting, and passing on plan Petri fun .... Berta again in the sunny Why play may be lying in the sun? There are more dogs and Bella is changed more because he wants to play with them.

With departures stay extra for Bella, Petri is extremely happy, but Berta ... She walks on two, but hey, if there is no choice and I get annoying, the end comes.
Well girls, you have to go home I still have some hours of work! 16:00

When I got home, Bella knows you time to eat. Petri Berta and the couch. We entered the kitchen, I put the plate with his ration Bella, yp'adentro! While eating, I connect the computer and prepare the papers to continue working. Luckily my job allows me to work from home, even with the change of department next month ... I think I end this gravy train ...

Bella finished eating and return to the dining room. Then I heat my food, throw me on the couch playing a little with my girls, and eat! 16:15.

still going a little bit until Bella is quiet in his bed, and yes, before getting in a few turns give the dining room. It costs a lot to go straight. I sit on the floor and play with it on the computer front. Is biting time and must be taught that the arm is not a toy, but that you move forward, yes. And so we are a while. Then a kind of massage, and relax.

I have to work until 19:00 at least, but at 18:00 the bottom to continue with the routine of Bella. Until then, all asleep. Or so it seems it is getting up to get a glass of water, and Bella and Petri are thrown behind me.

At 18:00 ride. Correas, poop bag, shoes, jacket, ball. We went outside. In the park at this time there are more friends. More races, more jerk ... If Berta has fallen to us, at 10 minutes and is showing signs of returning home ... Anda is you do not pretty! The launch of Petri ball is endless. You could spend hours! And Bella lurking if you miss a ball. In these cases, takes the fly, and begins to spin all triumphantly with the ball in his mouth. What a card!

At 18:30
home. I still work for an hour.

At 19:30 disconnect from work. Finally !!!!!! I feel a little on the couch, to the gauges echo if not, do not fit, and rest 10 minutes walk at 20:00 play again, and the long. All tours are important. Bella must reinforce in daily conduct, and no small feat! Besides, I have to lose and views to mine either.

We return to the routines. Changing shoes, jacket, bag of poop, necklaces, belts, sunglasses, lift. This time we'll be a while in the park, and then we will leave to go. We walked to another colleague who has just welcomed a gauge. During the tour you have to concentrate to avoid an accident. Beautiful with so much enthusiasm for everything is pulling and folding. Petri afraid if something changes direction without realizing that is attached to me, with the resulting. Berta where always with me. And they say do not do sport ... JA! Move your arms constantly rolling no straps, bend down to pick up the poop, lift your legs to keep the balance if the belt crosses ... who wants to go to the gym?

We're back. 21:30. We went home. Bella do not know how you still have the strength to stick around the house jumping. Berta Petri and stay with me at the door. Changing shoes, remove coat, loose straps. Time to relax before dinner.

Bella and Petri and are desperate ... but if they are only ten minutes! I try to play with them to distract them, but no way. Any excuse to walk down the aisle and stand in front of the door .... We want to eat!! 21:40, food operation. Prepare the bowls, give medicines, shared bowls. Watch for all goes well. 22:00. Berta and Petri are already sleeping. Bella still thinks he is going to drop something. Make recommendations to eat before them, but occasionally alternate, depending on mood.

I cook dinner and sit back on the couch. 22:20. What exhaustion! I have to prepare food for tomorrow, make a call, answer some email ...

To which I neglect, until 23:30 ... And I want to sleep, tomorrow is another day.

And then there are people telling me ... but what do all day? Why do not you take me the phone? Well, you see, will not want to answer, hahaha. And I do not know what 'on time' people have to call the critical hours of meals and outings.

I can not forget family and friends. You have to find time to see them!! That always. You have to take lunch, dinner and hours of walking. And above all, the weekend. Weekend for a tour if you can, drink coffee, visit the family ...

Many people reading this will identify @. Great! This is the hard work of shelters, it is not only to have them at home. This is to educate, train, socialize, give them love ...
And yes, this is a work tired, tiring, sometimes frustrating. But at the same time make a host is fun, there are times when you can not only descojonarte, see them discover basic situations, meet a dog that is not a greyhound and a spaniel (for them an alien), a ball to play afraid to get on the couch, the elevator door that slides, hahaha. In short, make a reception is very very very rewarding. View progress of these stupid, it's awesome! And they are so grateful!

Everyone can be a foster home, but few want, which is very different.
So please, all those that you may be wondering whether it or not, if you will be able to or not ... please try! Only I ask you to try once. Surely you will not regret.
