Dog day

This morning was a day at the Ranch. Here is what the weather looked like. Typical spring weather.

We are in the corner of tornado watch and tornado warning. This area used to be more prone to tornados but we still get the chances. The dogs were not pleased. The larger of the two buildings is built as a shelter and has an interior space full of cages for the small dogs. They moved them all into the cages. I went from one compartment to the next trying to help calm the dogs. One who is particularly crazed in bad weather is Shadow. They gave her some Trazadone and I hung out with her until it took hold. Then she was very chill.



There were a couple of others. I ended up staying an extra hour trying to hit when the rain slacked some. It took a long time but finally one of the other volunteers left going my way in a pickup truck so I followed him and got home OK.

Shawn, the deaf pitbull, was wondering what all the back and forth was about.  He was just sitting in his compartment like he does every day.  No worries.

What an absolutely adorable photo of Shadow! Poor dogs. It can't be any easier that they can hear the other ones panicking.

Yeah, that's always the thing with them. One sets off the next. Once everyone's trazadone started kicking in it got a bit calmer. We have another couple of months of this kind of weather and then a long stretch of quiet.
