Old Pup is on the mend!

     Dr. Morton called this morning a little after seven o'clock, and I told him that Ol' Pup was looking a lot better and that he had had a fairly normal bowl movement (dark colored but no blood) and that he had eaten about a third of a meal of Gerber turkey and vegetable baby food. I asked Dr. Morton if we should bring Pup in tomorrow morning, and he said, "'We'll talk first. See how Ol' Pup's doing. Just stay the course."

Working on the mailer

     I've spend most of the day working on the mailer instead of this website, so now we're even further behind here, especially with photos. I've logged 51 photos this week (mostly this weekend) that I haven't had time to process, drop into a page and upload onto any of them onto our website. Tomorrow's going to be another "mailer" day. We cannot not put everyone we can spare on this project. Only about 200 regulars hit this website every day. There are more than 2,500 people on our mailing list. Therefore 2,300 of our faithful contributors have not yet seen our plea for help.

Kerry meets and moves in with Boomer

     This move allowed us to put Sasha in with Colby, whom Sasha had kenneled with before her adoption. Everything's working out fine so far.

Kerry and Boomer met in the park this past Sunday and they got along fine.

Back in Boomer's kennel they had a grand time chasing each other around the shelter.

When Boomer gets tired of playing, he jumps up on his shelter roof, leaving his kennel mate below.
