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…

I might be in for it this weekend…

I’ve offered to house and dogsit for friends of mine who have 2 dogs…a 9 year old collie mix and a 1 year old pittie.  These are actually the friends that loss their lab mix, Jaxx, last month to a tumor in his chest.  I went over yesterday to go through instructions (walking, feeding, alarm, etc). and this is what I found…

 

Let’s the high jinx begin

Someone figured out the toilet paper is a great toy.  Its easy to figure out who did it.  Shilo is sweet and chill (stinky breath though).  Koda is all puppy…has no concept of her size, strength or where in space her body is.  This should be an interesting weekend…me and 2 big dogs out in the country.  Lupe and Jaxx are going to be looking down at us howling with laughter…

 

Guilty as charged!!!
