Today I picked up these lucky five and off we went to the low cost spay-neuter clinic to get fixed. Not much was said on the way and even less on the way back as they were still in recovery mode. If more people would make sure that their pets were fixed, it would mean far fewer deaths at the shelters; the animal shelters are the ones who have to deal with the surplus in dogs and cats. Maybe one day, but not in my life time, sad to say.

When you are a foster for these little guys, it’s sometimes very hard to let go of the kids when it’s their time to move on. Today I went to Devore (again) and pulled the little pregnant Doxie girl and the black/tan Chi mix. They were happy to leave the shelter and go to the boarding facility. We also brought three that had been in a foster home to the boarding facility where all five will meet up with the transport taking them up north. For the three that had been in a foster home it was a sad parting after being together for so long, but we all know it’s for the best. This foster will be getting another dog in a few days and helping them also have a chance at a new life. It’s so hard for the departing ones, but the new arrivals are just as happy to have a place to go, if only temporarily.
