Seems there is a lot to tell. We have new pictures of Pizazz and Skipper which should be on the web site soon. Saturday brought new dogs from Oklahoma. 6 new beauties to find homes for in Montana. The picture above is taken at the meeting spot just before we loaded them up to take them to the bath house. Note that the fawn and brindle that Paulette has her hand on is Juan who is actually WHITE and brindle. Here he is with his flea shampoo soaking....he has had 3 shampoo lathers at this point. The pretty brindle in the picture is Jack. Click on the picture for a larger view so youu can see his handsome face.

We didn't have a lot of helpers on this bath day but the people who came worked hard scrubbing dogs and walking them after their baths. Here is Paulette and Carol scrubbing Oliver (brother to Tripps handsome boy Robbie.) Judy and Trish were doing a last minute transport of Junebug who is now settling in with greyhound sisters Lilly, Tessa and Betty.

Bold Speed turned out to be a big BABY. He isn't sure he should have to walk on a lead. So when Jeff took him out to dry in the sun and to potty. Bold Speed decided he couldn't walk back so rather than risk him pulling out of his collar Jeff packed him for about half a block. I bet Jeff wish he stayed closer to the truck.
Not pictured are Sweet Shannon a 9 year old tiny brindle retired brood mama. She is recovering tonight from a spay, dental which revealed few healthy teeth and a eye infection. She sure would love some TLC from a loving foster or forever home. Debbie quickly was falling under the spell of Shannon while she walked her and rubbed her dry. Her sweet personality is exactly the reason she came to Montana. When Tripps met her Carol reports that Shannon hopped right in the truck with them and laid her head on Dan's shoulder. He was smitten!! Now some lucky home is going to have the fortune of adopting her. Also not pictured is Teddy Bear, a handsome red boy with the sweetest chocolate drop eyes.

Sunday afternoon Darrin and I loaded up a couple of dogs and went on a over night camp trip to a remote lake in the high country. When we passed through a heavily flowered alpine meadow I insisted Darrin stop the car. I took the pups on a nice walk and then we sat in the grass together. If this is what Heaven is like I won't be disappointed!!
