Victories And Disappointments

Raining again today. The dogs can't catch a break weather-wise. It stinks for them to be damp and for the outdoor pens to be soaked. As per usual, almost all the volunteers showed despite the bad weather. Camillo The Volunteer made friends with Mr. Willie, who needs to learn manners. When I was pulling away today Mr. Willie was sitting nicely and his ears were out flat, like he was listening! Camillo is good with the big dogs.

Well, we had the pleasure of seeing Coco leave today with a nice family and Mitzi being looked at. Sadly, the good comes with the bad, as both Smoke (a new boy who was owner-surrendered and has not cottoned to anyone and is a little too aggressive), and Abbey (long-timer at the shelter but who no one seems interested in) will be put down tomorrow morning. I hesitate writing the bad news but it is the truth. A number of volunteers are upset, but they understand, too. The shelter has been wonderful to Abbey; she's had a good life there and it's just time to make room for the new comers, who keep coming.

Good news from last week, Maybelle was adopted!  She was a long-timer, too, and I hear it's going well with her new family. 


Victories and disappointments.

Meet Mr. Rusty, volunteer Shauna's favorite little guy. He is very calm, walks nicely on a leash, is quiet, friendly, and unpeturbed by much. Check out the video after the pics.

Ears up!
