Larry had some areas where some of the dogs were leashed while eating and until all the dogs in the compound had finished their food so that they could not get at the other bowls. T he food preparation and feeding takes eight people about four hours, and is of course, a daily happening 365 days a year. After the feeding some of the dogs get rawhides and treats etc. too, and the dogs in the dental study get certain kinds of chews. A nd then, of course there is the clean up, but we waited until after lunch to do that. Lunch is at Angel Village in a very attractive space, sort of a dining room and lounge area filled with sunlight and plants and overlooking the canyon.
Food is vegetarian, delicious and inexpensive and there is always plenty of it.
Somehow you never feel like a stranger, even though you are sharing a meal with people you don't really know. T he trucks bring back all the bowls and buckets to the food preparation area. There Larry and I spent some two hours getting everything washed up and ready for the next day. By the time we got everything rinsed and stacked the staff was already filling the cans with dry food for the next day. T his was really a great experience and we are already looking forward to going back.
