It is hard to believe that it is mid August already. We will soon see cooler mornings and that means the start of running the dogs for short runs on the 4 wheeler. It also means getting back into running more shelter dogs too! I have been very busy with working this summer with the main goal once again to work part time in the winter so to spend more time with my dogs.
But even with my busy schedule there have been very few days this summer that we haven't let the dogs loose every day. All the dogs are doing well and it will be interesting to see where all the 10 and 11 year olds are as far as being conditioned. It is nice to let them all loose and see them running around and really getting some hard exercise during the summertime. Today may be one of the few days that we don't let everyone loose. It is raining pretty good and most of the dogs have been pretty lazy today.
All our SCL dogs are doing fine. Misty has become my "poster child" of before and after dogs....I look back at the pictures of when I got her and how terrible she looked with 50% of her hair missing and scabs on her face...and now with her gorgeous thick white coat that feels like velvet.
SCL had a good success story with Cloud. He was turned back into SCL and adopted by people in British Columbia that already had his brother. Several organizations worked together to help this boy get to his new home. SCL is deeply grateful to Linda Cook and Homeward Bound for organizing all the flights for Cloud and for Candace O'Conner that took Cloud in as a temporary foster while arrangements were being made.
