Lovely weekend yet sad - few updates!

It's been a busy weekend with clients and volunteers walking dogs, our groomer working to get them all prettied up, volunteers running around bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning and more cleaning Ha! Ha! We educate some of our clients on how to train or teach not only our dogs but their own dogs new tricks; our pooches get more one on one with families visiting, get tons of cuddles and loving so who can complain when they are all exhausted and snoring by 6pm!? I can't - they all seem so happy and content! We've had many appointments booked this weekend to meet with our pooches, some have been adopted, others are awaiting adoption or leaving this week or next weekend once the references are done - quite exciting!

Jaki is our bee buster, few bumble bees have made their way into the house and the moment she sees me come in with my zapping racket - she's there way before me chomping on the bumble bee and killing it instantly. At first, I freaked thinking she was going to get stung but she's an expert and grabs them so quickly that she doesn't get hurt! Quite the character, very quiet for a JRT yet such a sweetie and wants to please by getting mom's bumble bee out of the house - she will be exceptional with a family that gives her a job such as fetching the morning paper or your slippers - she really wants to please!

We've lost Tappie to what we thought was parvo but they tested negative and we aren't sure if her brother Tonka will make it - he is very week and his temperature is really low. Although it's summer, we have to keep him warm with blankets and hot water bottles! Send your prayers so he makes it! This is the part I don't enjoy from NARC, when you spend the whole week recovering a dog and he/she doesn't make it - it's really tough and saddens me that we can't save them all!!!
