 Today I woke up with Flip around 6 am. I took him out to pee and we went back to bed for a few hours. I woke up and took him for a walk before feeding him breakfast. I took him back outside. I loaded him up in the car and drove to the feed store to pick up a bit more dog food. I fed him lunch once we were home and he took a nap. I went to the gym and my mom watched him. Once I was home, we spent awhile working on come and he is getting very responsive to his name. My mom and I took him to the Humane Society to get his leg checked up. They cleared him so now he is available for adoption! It's so exciting. Once we got home, he took another nap and then I fed him dinner. I walked him down my road with my other big dogs. He fell asleep in my bed.

 Puppy day!! Today I ran some errands to get ready for the puppy. I went to the feed store for puppy food as well. I came back home and set up the crate and the outdoor fenced in area. I did about an hour of research about house training and an hour about how to greet other dogs because I have two at my house. Finally, the puppy came at around 6 pm. His name is Scampi and he's about 12 weeks old. He is a rescue from South Carolina and is so sweet. We played with him outside for a bit before bringing my other dogs out. They did really well meeting each other and ended up playing for a long time. We brought him inside and watched him and fed him dinner.   hours: errands: 2h set up: 1h research: 2h puppy time: 4h  total: 9h

 Today I was only home for the morning and afternoon because I’m sleeping at my friends house. I woke up last night to let Flip out to pee. He went back to bed with me until around 8 when I woke him up for breakfast. We went on a long walk with my dogs and then he hung out with my sister and I. I brought him with me to pick up my friend that needed a ride. He has been getting carsick recently so I have to be careful. Once back home, he took a nap with me in my bed. I packed up my stuff for my friends house and said goodbye.  Hours:  night: 30 mins breakfast/walk: 2h play: 1h drive: 1.5h nap: 2h total: 7h

 Today I had an orientation at the Upper Valley Humane Society. I met with Jen, the woman that I will be working with. First, we learned about dog behavior signals and how to understand more about how they are feeling. We talked about fear, aggression, contentment, and more. We discussed proper nutrition on our own dogs as well. I decided to do this orientation in case there wasn't a dog that needed fostering at the time. My backup plan was to volunteer at the UVHS, which I may end up doing regardless. After the orientation, my mom and I went with Jen to look at the dogs and puppies that are at the shelter. We looked at the litter that we will be fostering and found out that the puppy will be coming tomorrow, which I am very excited about. Once finished, I went back home and began researching more about the puppy that will be coming and the things I need to do in advance.  orientation: 2h meeting dogs: 30 mins research: 2h total: 4h 30 mins
