A Day in the Life with Lettie
Hi everyone, it’s Lettie here! It’s so nice to meet you. As the current longest resident dog at AWS, I wanted to share what my typical day is like here! You may not know all of the fun we get to have here with AWS staff and volunteers while we wait to find our new families. So, my friends and I thought it would be wonderful to share my day at AWS for this week’s Pet of the Week!
Taking in Some Fresh Air
First thing in the morning when all of the incredible Adoption Center staff come in for the day is a nice walk! There’s no better way I like to start my day than by getting some fresh air. Getting moving and enjoying nature gets me ready for a great day ahead of me each morning!
The Most Important Meal of the Day
One of my absolute favorite parts of the day is breakfast (I mean, who doesn’t love food!!)! My lovely friends at AWS serve up a nice breakfast for me every morning, which I absolutely love. In return for bringing me the most important meal of the day, I often roll around in excitement for some belly rubs! Everyone tends to oblige!
Getting Some Exercise
After a tasty breakfast, I get to go back outside for a walk with either an AWS staff member or volunteer! I’m a pretty active gal so I often get to hit the trails on the AWS property when the weather is nice. Either with a staff member or volunteer, they tend to make my walk more exciting and fun with treats and trying out some fun tricks!
Hitting the Road
As the afternoon rolls around, every animal at AWS gets to enjoy a quiet hour with enrichment from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. Sometimes during that hour, I will accompany an AWS staff member on their lunch break for a fun adventure! I love a good car ride, especially when some fun treats and exploring comes at the end of it.
Time for a Play Day
Once I get back from my fun excursion, it’s time to play! Weather depending, I either get to have fun with a ball in a pen outside or in the Canine Training room! The AWS staff comes up with all sorts of fun for us to have each day to make our days exciting. I’ve been known to love playing with a tennis ball so that’s usually my toy of choice!
It’s Dinner Time
Once I’m worn out from all of the fun I’ve had today, it’s time for dinner! Just like breakfast, my wonderful friends take great care in serving up a tasty dinner for myself and all of the animals they care for. Our routine feeding schedule keeps us all happy and well fed every day!
Finishing Up the Day with a Walk
Before the Adoption Center closes for the day, I get to burn off some dinner calories with a walk! I may be worn out from how much fun I’ve had, but I will never turn down a nice walk outside. I love to explore and sniff as much as I can and maybe ask for some more belly rubs while I’m at it!
Let’s Rewrite my Day in the Life Together!
Now that you know what a day through my eyes is like at AWS, how about we rewrite it together? What will my days be like with my new family? I hope my new day in the life has a few things:
- Walks, walks and more walks! I love taking in nature and getting exercise.
- Plenty of belly rubs and treats!
- No cats or small animals, they don’t fit my vibe!
- Lots of love and adventures with my people!
I’m a fun and playful dog who hopes you enjoy spending time outside as much as I do. So, if you or someone you know is interested in adopting, then come by the Adoption Center or give my friends a call at (207) 985-3244.
