Tuesday update

Tuesday was busy as always at the shelter. I brought in our litter of 9 pups that Rebecca found and Rita picked up and thoughtfully brought to my house for an overnight visit before coming in to the shelter. They all had breakfast and baths and came in to the shelter just before lunch. Julie signed them over to us as Rebecca has arranged for them to go to the Rescue Waggin.

Yes, folks another early morning comin up next week when the Waggin swings into town, on Wednesday, I think. More later. Meanwhile Rebecca was busy as well ordering meds and coordinating our testing schedule among the thousands of other things she does. Anita and Kayla were busy walking dogs and coordinating play dates as well as doing some grooming and whew! I can't keep up. Precious and Exxon had a great date in the yard as well as others. Sheba got brushed some --so far to go-- and got out to the yard as well.

Joanne was cleaning the condo and medicating cats and she and Anita bathed at least four cats who perched very indignantly in the Ed Room for part of the afternoon. Joanne and Rebecca were also doing meds and Anita helping with a major scrub in the cat condo.

Susan stopped by with a Volunteer Sign in book for the office. It's on the desk. Thanks Susan.

She was looking for doner letters in the office???? Has anyone seen them? I'll try and get some more there today.

Nicole was walking dogs and brought us some new kong type toys for the dogs as well. There are stuffing ideas on the fridge in the office. Thank you Nicole. She also noted that Walmart in Pulaski has all their pet things on sale if anyone is by there. Anita brought in peanut butter for stuffing, thanks to you as well Anita.

I was just in the office returning calls and working on adoption applications. We had phone calls about a rooster fighting ad on NRV Today which the editor kindly deleted when I emailed him. When anyone has time, you might email him and thank him for the support that they give us. They run free ads, have a shelter animal needing adoption on their front page for us that changes each time the site is hit. Linda works hard with this keeping it up to date. Thanks for all you do as well, Linda, even though we don't see you often, we know you are there.

I did get applications approved for Boomer and Lad and Boomer will go to his new home tomorrow. When I called they were estatic and the little girl called back and thanked us again. They are coming right after school. Lots of folks were looking for dogs and put in applications yesterday as well.

It was both Donnie and Dean's birthday so Animal Control provided an ice cream cake! Thanks for lunch Guys! Julie and Jane came in for Yappy hour and walked all the dogs again! They walk for us every Tuesday night. Shay is working on a sign to advertise Yappy Hour for us and I'm trying to get it printed. Rebecca will be doing train the trainer for those who are interested in working with our dogs on hot dog or clicker training from 5-6 at Yappy hour for the next several weeks. It's amazing and really fun!

That's all that I can remember foks although I know that I left out a lot. Feel free to add!
