Quick Update

(Sorry the pictures are all over the post.  My computer skills are letting me down this morning LOL)


The dogs ...

Transport pup - Beanie.

Friday we transported 3 dogs to their foster homes after taking Noelle (now Ellie) to the vet for the day.  4 hours on the road.  Lots of dogs happy to spend the weekend in a warm bed instead of at the vet.  Big smelly pup had to ride in the crate (he wasn't playing nicely).  I didn't get a picture of him (but he's happy and bathed now!!).

Transport pup - Maggie 12 week puppy!

Then an emergency owner surrender.  Dog fight that lead to a bite from her dog.  The home was 15 minutes from her so we picked up the rescue and are fostering him.  Straight to the bath as he stunk of smoke - yuck!!

Hubby is INSISTING we keep him.  LOVES him to pieces.

DUKE!

Ellie is real deal sick.  Like the kind that shortens her life.  New medication and fingers crossed.  She'll be with us for at least 2 months and forever if we can't find the perfect, loving home to care for her.  Heartbreaking for real.

Jen Hatmaker:

Awesome evening.  Better than my biggest expectation of the night.  It was a sermon of sorts.  But inclusive, FUNNY, thoughtful ... couldn't say enough about her group.  Beautiful music, beautiful stories.  Uplifting in every way.  And we're now sponsoring a little girl in Bolivia - the mission part of her book tour.  We sponsor a child in the US but like this organization a lot too.  Little Jimena from Bolivia.  ChildFund is the international organization and Children, Inc. is US based.


In other news we had dinner at eldest and girlfriend's last night.  Fun night, great food.  We wanted them to adopt Duke but they didn't.  I thought he was a great match for them.  But I need to butt out of their business.   Plus they graduated from JMU with the DUKE DOG mascot.  I thought it was meant to be ... bummer!!

Time to walk the gang of dogs.  Dogs make me HAPPY :-)
