16, sounds like a lot and it is. Did we put a dent in the shelter’s numbers so they won’t have to kill maybe for a few days, probably not. But it’s worth it to the folks that labor so hard to save each life. And I know it’s important to each and every one of these dogs. And its important to me. We all do what we can, some more than others, but every dog saved is one less put in the barrel and sent to the rendering plants. Just one dog at a time and sometimes it adds up, like today.

Today I picked up these two yellow labs named Daisy and Ruby from a shelter. They look so much alike, but they are quite different once you get to know them. Daisy, photo on the left, worries a lot and just wants to be near you. Ruby, who is 8 years young, just goes with the flow. Both are great dogs and I know will find a lab person who is just waiting for one of these sweethearts. Their time will come very soon.
