(That's okay. Real Life get in the way some times.)<br/><br/>Zach smiled as Dr. Tucker picked out a border collie named Sam and an old beagle named Winston. Zach was kind of surprised he chose the latter. Winston was fine once he got going, but he was never very fast. Most of the volunteers wanted the younger more excited dogs. Zach had always liked Winston. He was calm and he liked to cuddle. He was also very smart though most people tended to underestimate him do to his age. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks never met Winston. Sam was new and Zach had no doubt he'd be adopted soon. He loved people and he had the whole puppy dog eyes down pat. His new owners better be careful or they were going to end up with a very fat dog.<br/><br/>Zach nodded when Dr. Tucker asked if they would work. "Yeah they should, Just keep a firm hold of Sam. He's worse than a greyhound at times. If he sees something he'll try to go after it and heard it. Winston will be fine as long as were not out too long. He's older so he tires more easily and long walks aren't good for his joints. We'll be heading to the park not far from here. In fact let me get a few tennis balls. We were able to get a petition passed to have a dog park added. Other people like to bring their dogs there as well, but it's a good way for us to get some of the more energetic dogs to calm down. Sam and Casey love to play fetch." Zach grabbed some balls, a few treats, and some plastic bags.<br/><br/>Once he had everything he lead Dr. Tucker outside and headed to the park. It only took a few minutes and Zach headed to the fenced in section for the dogs. A few people where there, but not many. It was a really nice day and Zach was sure he'd see more people come as they got out of work. Zach loved it here and it felt like a safe place. He'd had to change so many of his habits after he left his ex. He was too scared that he would be found and dragged away. He shuddered at the though, because he knew if he was found he wouldn't ever get the chance to run again.
