Valentine's Day

On valentine's day, I went to an animal shelter with my hostfamily to walk with dogs there.
This shelter offers that possibility so that the dogs stay used to meet different people, and can get out of the area (cages or small fenced area) in which they live.
Firstly, we all got an instruction on how to get along with the dogs, and safety instructions (on latvian, but I understood most of it).
Then, we all got a card, which we can bring the next time, so that they see we already heard the instructions, and don't need to listen to them again.
After that, we all got a dog and went for a walk with them in the forest. My dog was big, but really nice and friendly. Some other people got dogs which were pulling all the time and barking a lot. My hostsisters dog was quite small, but always wanted to be first and he pulled a lot. Still, he was very cute and funny.

At all, there live around 300 dogs and 150 cats in that animalshelter.
There are working many volunteers, and I really appreciate their work, because I'm sure it's very hard work.
Also, it was great to see, how many people went there to take a dog for a walk.

When we got home, my hostdad got all women in the family (my hostmom, hostsister and me) nice flowers, tulips in different colours, and we ate cake.

After that, we (the women) watched romantic movies.
The first movie was with Aston Kutcher and I forgot the title (I think it was titled "Something like love"), and then we watched Titanic.
We all are very emotional, so we sat on the couch and cried for almost the whole movie.

That was a very nice Valentine's day.

I hope you have a wonderful day! ♡
