I went to the interview...

I went early, because I am not a good judge of time as far as how long it will take to get where, but when I got to the shopping center across town I realized it was a good thing because I had to find the place.
I started walking through the shopping center--the man I spoke to said they were across from or to the side of a BevMo--and after a few minutes I heard dogs barking--so I followed that.
I found the place--and I was a half hour early--but they took me anyway. From what I understood, the dogs there (it was a place to board dogs too) just played outside all day and slept where they wanted. I was also told that they bathe the dogs and sometimes whoever's working there will stay there overnight. That didn't bother me at all.
I told them about Angel, and that I'd owned three other dogs in the past besides her (when they asked me if I had worked with dogs before).
I friend of mine told me to be enthusiastic, and I wonder if I might have been overly so...? But it is what it is.
I was told that they had a few more interviews to do, and then people would be called on Thursday.
I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I think it went well.

The fact you're willing to stay overnight if the job requires it is promising for sure. Employeers look for employees who will do what no one wants to do. Being a previous dog owner, four times, and able to make the hard decisions (as you did with Angel), I also think should give you an edge.
