Visited with Liz, Debbie and Ginger today of Madison County's group to get dogs off chains. They are very organized and have a 501-c-3! Very impressive. I gave them some tidbits of information so I hope that helps them. . there is always the tendency, though, to talk about one dog. . . one dog. . one dog. We need to take these conversation to a higher level, but lobbying does not tug at the heart like the one dog down on Reems Creek Rd. or the poor soul on Main Street, etc. , etc. Anyway, I will meet with them again and help them build their first fence this summer, I hope!
Amazingly, a friend, Anne, adopted a golden retriever mix last week and her current dog hid under the bed for 3 days so alas, they had to take the new dog back. Within a few hours, another friend of mine, Marlisa, came and adopted him, not knowing Anne! Small world. Anne wants to meet up with Marlisa now so she can visit Spirit!
We're in the stretch for Bele Chere and also trying to build an enormous fence on Sunday. I have very few volunteers and I have learned a lesson -- don't try to ask for volunteers for fencing and for a booth in the same email! Dwaine and Patrick put in 14 posts today!!!!. We need at least 6 workers and I am determined to find them.
Casey, the 5 year old who had a stroke, is now speaking a bit. Hurray! She is off to Dallas today to get even more specialized treatments.
Reese was groomed today and it went ok, but took a long time! He is just full of it (fur that is!)
Feeling ok, but Mr. Fatigue is back. . it is like he visits every 3rd day. Especially when I have several thigns lined up to do. . Whap. . no you don't. . it forces me to relax. I have not walked on the treadmill in 3 days but will tomorrow. a mile and 1/2 is the goal. We'll see.
All for now. Hope you are having a good week. Chow.

Phoenix is due for another home haircut tomorrow and she will be so happy when all of this fur is gone!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your post! Reese and Allie do not like this heat. . . nor do any dogs so I feel for the chained dogs esp. now. Hope you guys are enjoying your new house and Natalie's new job! What are you doing these days?
