The transport trailer is pretty amazing - they pull up with a big trailer filled with dogs. There were 20 or so families waiting for their dogs. One by one they handled the paper work and then gave the dogs out. The dogs were everything from chocolate labs to terrier mixes to Boston terriers, to our schnoodle, Stormy.
We immediately took Stormy for a "pack walk" so that she would be tired out for the ride home. We have since observed that she loves to ride in the car and doesn't fuss about jumping into her kennel and sitting quietly while we drive along.
Here are some more pictures.
 | This little guy got away from his new owners and caused quite a stir as people tried to catch him |
 | Here's Stormy sitting in my lap. She is very well behaved and doesn't get on furniture unless asked. |
 | Because she has a poodle type coat, she's hypo-allergenic, but it also means that she needs regular grooming. I'm drying her off after giving her a bath at the self-service dog wash. One of her favorite places is the driveway where she lays on her back and rubs back and forth in the dirt. When I bring her in, she shakes a cloud of sand all over unless I dust her down first. |
 | Starting at around 3 in the afternoon, she expresses her desire to go for her evening walk by hanging out at the back door waiting patiently for me to finish whatever I'm doing. |
I actually started this post somewhere during the first couple of weeks in March, but I'm just finishing it up on May 30th. My other posts will explain why there has been such a delay.
