All quiet on the dog sitting front…

Had another AWESOME day volunteering with Shultz’s Guest House today.  Rescue manager and I went to a small humane society event today, met great people and dogs and helped spread the word about the rescue.  We went back to the farm and I was involved in the potential adoption of 4 dogs…2 of them are out on an overnight and the other 2 are considering options.  This was my first time being involved in this aspect of volunteering and its pretty amazing to watch how the dogs just strut their stuff for potential adopters.

I’ve been meaning to post about a tripawd that SGH had a few weeks ago.  Roxie is a 5 year old boxer mix.  I never got a chance to meet her and they were hoping that I would because of my special girl.  Roxie’s story is pretty amazing and she has found a wonderful forever home with a woman who works with people with disabilities.  I think any tripawd pawrent will tell you that a tripawd is proof of the ability to overcome any and all odds.  http://shultzsguesthouse.org/?adoptables=roxie

Night one of dog sitting Shilo and Koda is going pretty well.  Koda got sick in her create today so I had the joy of cleaning that up…I had forgotten who stinky vomit was, oh well.  Koda and I played fetch with her kong on a rope, both dogs have been fed and been outside for a while.  Koda did pull a fast one on me though.  I was bringing my stuff inside and when I went back outside I couldn’t find her.  They are both on an electric fence but Koda could probably withstand running through the fence.  I started to walk around the back of my car and out of my open trunk jumps Koda!  She is pretty agile and extremely curious.

Its nice to hear the noise of dogs again…

  1. Boy there is nothing like some doggie medicine to help one feel so much better about life. I’m so hoppy to hear you’re out there helping dogs who need it most. Isn’t it strange how in the end, humans end up needing the dogs more than the dogs need them? Truly a gift for both though.

    I LOVE Roxy’s video. What a story! I’m putting that on our Facebook page, thanks for sharing. It’s great to hear from you again!

  2. I agree with Jerry. There is no better therapy than the company of dogs. They are truely Gods most wonderful creatures. I think it is wonderful that you are volunteering.

    Enjoy the dog sitting. I bet they are being spoiled silly!
