Cathy and I went over to a house off E Innes Street where we had to shut off the power. There were a few pictures that needed to be taken of a hole in the kitchen and paint that was left unfinished. As I was taking these pictures for our repair guy I heard what sounded like dogs barking. I peaked through the blinds of the back door that led out to a deck and saw two innocent dogs. As I walked out the backdoor I noticed they were enclosed in the fence of this backyard. Neither of the dogs had food or water and they gave me the innocent little puppy dog look. It was right then that my heart melted for these dogs and knew there was something Cathy and I had to do.
We scrummaged around the vacant house to find a bag of dog food that was left and poured water into bowls that had also been left in the yard. Both dogs consumed the food so fast, it was like they hadn't eaten for days. Before leaving the house we emailed the owner, who is on his way to England, and said, "There are two dogs in your backyard that have not been fed for days. Do you happen to know anything about this?" The man replied and said he had made arrangements for the dogs to be picked up, but for us to continue checking on them and contact his son to see what to do with the dogs.
Today I am going back over to the house to feed and tend to those two precious dogs. I hope to find them both a safe and secure home within the next few days!
Real Estate can always re-route your intended direction for the day, but I wouldn't change my internship for the world. This career will allow be to build relationships with individuals and find their dream home, or get away from a home they don't enjoy.
I'm so glad you are taking care of the dogs. They must be scared being left alone.
