Petting puppies on the job!

I had a story a few weeks ago when I was on a weekend shift about the Paws in the Park Expo at Stephens Lake Park. It was my first event I covered. I was nervous at first because I didn’t know what to expect, but it ended up being just fine. I talked to some of the owners of dogs who were going to do the Mutt Strutt Fun Run and I talked to the volunteers of the event and of Columbia Second Chance. I learned a lot of things about dogs and cats and I learned some interesting stories from some of the owners. Since I haven’t seen my own dog in two months it was nice to be able to pet some of the dogs up for adoption in the tents. I also saw some cats in another tent; the kittens were so cute! I had a fun time writing this story because I picked something I knew would be interesting and I learned a lot.
