Lessons Learned --- Daily chatterings

  1. A&A haven’t forgotten how to get out of their pen if we leave in unlocked

  2. Make sure no dogs are in the dog room unknowingly at night

  3. Kristin doesn’t know what’s happening in the handler cabin unless someone tells her – thank you, Ashley!  :) 

  4. Doing Passive Range of Motion (PROM) finds minor injuries in dogs that may otherwise go undetected (Hux, Jesse, etc) 

  5. You never know what might happen when you are looking.  Kristin made the food bucket, put it on top of the food tote while she scooped the yard, so no dogs would help themselves to the food bucket.  When I returned to the bucket, there were messy splash marks ALL OVER the freezer top, box of meat, etc.  A BIRD fell into the bucket, splashed around & drowned in the bucket?!?!?!
