Friday Volunteers


We had a large group from VT come in today and helped walk dogs and 3 volunteers were in the condo grooming the cats. They filled the water bowls and exercised the puppies. I hope they all enjoyed themselves. I know the dogs really enjoyed getting out to explore among other things. Justin was loving it and did not want to go back in his cage. Even some of the puppies were happy as larks with their ears flopping in the wind running to their hearts content. It was good exercise for all. And of course the cats always love getting attention.
Rebecca, Jen and another volunteer were safer testing the dogs. Hope they all passed. I was so busy I did not get a chance to find out.
Nicole came in and helped me out. She was also giving tours to potential adopters. And showed some of Sadies puppies. I believe we have applications on all Sadies pups but one. The little one with nuerological problems even has a person who wants to adopt him.
Popeye the big pit got adopted today Hurrah! He found a good home. Sapphire from our cat condo was actually adopted the other day. Bye Sapphire.
Pinky did not get his bath today as I promised Judith so if any body gets a chance to please give him a medicated bath please do. He has been moved to the kennel that Popeye was in.
In cage 12 in back cat holding area we have some tiny little kittens. I noticed they were chewing on the dry kitten chow maybe some one can make sure to add warm water to it making it easier to eat. They are darling just so young. I gave the inmate a couple of the very last cans of canned cat food we had for these small babies.
We have finished off all the dog biscuits now.
On a much more sober note. Lady aka Ladybug the sher-pei that was adopted out by AC was found to have ovarian cancer. I am sad to report that lady was humanely euthanzied today. There was no way to tell just how advanced the cancer was or how much it had spread. The owner concerned about Lady's quality of life did not want to see her suffer. Please know that Lady was a gentle and sweet spirited dog.
Let us all be thankful for the good health our pets are enjoying.
Till later,
Sadly Anita
