Hey Folks!!

The visit from Humane Strategies went very well this morning. Rick Collard visited the shelter and met with Julie and me, talked with most of the AC folks and Judith, too. He toured the shetler and after goign through a very extensive questionaire about the shelter as a whole, noted lots that we are doing right, with suggestions for some improvements as well. Rick's job is to evaluate shetlers that participate int he Rescue Waggin and make recommendations to make our lives easier and fortunately he has funds available to assist with making those things happen. I'll be putting in a grant for a new office computer, for one thing.

Julie and I talked with Orange County AC about Rikki's Refuge as well this afternooon and all sounds good. We hope to make a visit there next week and put to rest concerns that have been brought forward.

Anita worked hard in the office this afternoon and we had several people looking at dogs. Joanne was doing meds and getting things ready for the spay clinic next week. Thanks particularly to Nicole being willing to bail me out of double scheduling, walking dogs and who helped me finally get some of the things in the Ed Room displayed for sale. Shay brought back one of the leash racks that he painted and decorated for us to display our new leashes for sale. Thanks to Keely for getting all of those, the pet clothing and of course the doggie boots donated. If you need best dressed clothing for your pet, you'll be sure to find it now, right in our own Ed Room. Remember to get your pet toy and treats there. The price is right and it benefits the animals.

Sandy stopped by the memorial garden and brought a beautiful new bench, today. The garden looks really pretty!!

Behind the scenes, Deanna was running safer testing forms for us to start testing for the Waggin tomorrow. Jen and I will be testing tomorrow afternoon. That's all folks!!!!
