Day 231 - Walked a Stranger's Dog

Last week there was a request on our neighborhood's facebook page for dog walkers.  An elderly women not far from our neighborhood had broken her ankle and her only companion was her dog, which she isn't currently able to walk.  A local pet walker had offered to walk the dog for a very reduced amount but the time and attention the woman needed was a bit more than she could fit into her schedule.

She asked neighbors to step forward if they would be able to take a night or 2 each week while the woman recovered from her injury.  The girls and I jumped at the opportunity.  First and foremost to help someone in need but secondly because Kailey has been begging us for a dog for the last few months.  This will be a wonderful opportunity for them to help and begin to realize some of the responsibilities involved.

So for today's random act of kindness we volunteered to walk sweet "Honey" twice a week for the next few weeks and help his owner with small errands.  We're excited to get to know him and his owner Nancy and we're so glad we can help.
