You've seen the videos of people holding up signs for FREE
HUGS and people receiving them very well. After a hike up Steiner from Lombard
Street to see the Mrs. Doubtfire house, we ended up on Fillmore Street to
explore that neighborhood. What did we find?
After some catching our breath, we had our breath taken away
as we gasped at a sign saying there were free cuddle sessions at the
SPCA SanFrancisco. As
animal lovers, my roommate, Kim, and I went in!
Above the veterinary hospital is the area that has animals
available for adoption. There were quite a few cats available in their mini
office-like areas with glass doors. I didn't see too many dogs but the pups
were offering the free cuddles on Saturdays. Free cuddles by cats are on
Sundays.
We stepped up to the desk and signed up to redeem our cuddle
session. We were asked to wash our hands at the sinks behind us, a good step to
keep the animals healthy for potential adoptions. Through another glass door
and in the two gated areas were adorable puppies! In one pen were fluff balls
of different colors. We gained access to a pen with 3-month terriers after blue
paper booties were added to our shoes.
Ohmigoodness!

| Bonney |
The tan and bigger one was named Freddie and the little
black and brown brindle pup was named Bonny. Freddie was a little barker and
loved played with Bonny. Bonny was a bit more chill. Toys were used as a
distraction to save Bonny some irritation from the puppy nips on her ear. Eventually
Freddie cuddled up to me. It was soo sweet and so tempting. I just love dogs
but I have a pup at home that is enough for me! Hopefully you or someone else
can give these cuties a good home. Though I bought my Boston Terrier with my ex
because he wanted a pure bred puppy, I would encourage adopting! There are so
many dogs out there that need love and breeders shouldn't make a profit on
lives.
Besides Freddie and Bonny, we currently have Bean, a
Miniature Pincher with one eye. She needs a home as well. Unfortunately, I
cannot take care of two dogs right now and Kim is headed off to Europe. We both
work and though my work time is sort of flexible, I have a business to grow.
But I do hope these pups find a good home that can devote the time and love they
deserve.
I am still a Dog Walker with Wag (use my code: Bernadette9307). It has helped me get
exercise and supplement some income. But Wag also partners with Rescue Bank
with donations in feeding rescue dogs with every completed Wag walk. I have 65
ratings and averaging 5 stars but know I've done more than 65 walks in the East
Bay and San Francisco. When I was in San Diego, my phone was receiving notices
of walk requests nearby too. I look forward to walking more pups on my travels.
Wag offers walks, dog sitting and boarding. It's the least I can do to help
these pups. This One Busy Bee is all about killing two birds with one stone.
