Our dear adorable, sweet, sweet Ralph (pronounced Rolf) got adopted today. Tears of joy and sadness. He was an Australian Shepherd/Hound mix. So sweet, kind, intelligent, loving and companionable. A very nice lady took him to be a companion while her mean, insensitive children abandon her for their own lives! harumph!
We talked for almost an hour even after I told them we were waiving the adoption fee. She really took her time to make an important decision, and she has our numbers so she can call us if it doesn't work out, but he was really working her with the kisses and rubbing and love. I think they will all be so happy. This dog and many of his friends are already 6 months old or more and can't hold a candle to the adorable puppies who pee all over the place and keep you up all night. so we have resorted to cut throat tactics of yelling... "Free puppies in the back!" Really. There are five more to go.
This week, again, really, I am decreasing the amount of food the dogs get and I am not making the yummy chicken and rice they love so much. I am hoping that a couple of them might get down to the 22 pound level so that we can send them to the mega rescue up north. The trip was supposed to be today, but one of the transport legs couldn't make it. I think the dogs will eventually end up in New York, but I am sketchy on that, and now I am in the throws of Allergy season and want to cut my head off so I don't even care if it is in New York or New Zealand. I will take the dogs up on the 25th just past Nashville and my friend visiting from the Caymans will get to go with me. I wonder what we will visit when we get there? maybe we will stay overnight and sightsee? Emma, tell me what you think, I will check out hotels.
Many of the older puppies can hop onto my lap and help with typing. Isn't that great?
Daily Dog count 38 But Lena goes to hang out with her daddy tomorrow after spending a little over a month in our Open Kennel. It's embarassing to take money from these people, but it all goes towards puppy food!
Also I have been able to sell over $50 worth of books on Amazon. The money goes directly into an account that I use to pay for dog food, so that has been great. I am getting a new donation of books soon.
phone is ringing.
