Today I adopted this tiny little brown chi for a rescue; she was so lovable and cuddly, and it being so cold out that day she just wanted to be where it was warm. Yes, under my shirt. I think everyone who held her had the same feeling. She was kept nice and warm for the ride to the vets, where she was scheduled for a 2 hour layover before being picked up for her trip north. I know the driver will put her in a nice warm spot and when she finally arrives at her forever home, where I know it gets even colder, she will have her sweater waiting just for her.

When I picked up these three at a boarding facility they looked very confused and were really wondering what was going on. They were all friendly but just didn’t quite make the connection as to what was happening. I believe they had been in boarding for a while, so it was like leaving some place they knew and starting all over again. People don’t realize how hard it is on the dogs to move from place to place. As these guys were all going north with the afternoon transport, we had to get them where they needed to be. You still can’t help but feel for them. I know that good homes await them so it makes all this worthwhile. But the feelings are still there.
