Doggies

Not great photos. Sixteen of the 22 we picked up. Maybe I'll be able to get more but I didn't want to disturb them too much. They were much more vocal yesterday when I took this. On the way down in the van they were all quiet and obviously terrified. Not so much now. They are beginning to get better. And noisier. Like dogs.



I went over to the shelter yesterday and did about four hours of intake assistance. Not exciting work since what they really need is to be sure the paperwork, all the computer entry, is done so they can get the dogs ready to be adversised and closer to adoption. But it is work I don't mind doing and it really makes such a difference for the staff who can focus on what they do working with the dogs. And I don't mind doing that kind of work. And I get to see the dogs all I want. I can always just go back and grab a dog and take them for a walk.

I thought that I'd be working on the Chihuahua intake forms but they had not even gotten to them yet. They had a different set of 9 puppies and a couple of adults that had come in the previous day. Entirely different but needed the processing documentation entered so I was doing that. It is an endless job. The staff is actually pretty amazing. They never seem to be overwhelmed.
