Week 5: Observation 2

Date: 09/25/2011

Context: with my friend Kate

Activity: Dropping off a kitten to the Town Lake Animal Shelter

Observation: After we took the kitten to the Shelter, we stuck around to play with the cats and dogs. The Shelter did a fantastic job of personalizing each message that was found with each animal. For example, one dog would have a sticker on its write-up that said "Knows basic commands like 'Sit' and 'Stay'!" and "Plays well with other animals!" or "Wants to be your only pet!". I thought this was a great way to determine if this pet would work well with your lifestyle with as much information as possible.
