In rescue, sick dogs are more the norm than the unusual, it’s just the way things are. Today I pulled Buster from the Camarillo shelter and I took him to Westlake Village Animal Hospital, checked him in and waited for Gracie to be checked out. I brought her in 5-6 days ago and, as you can see, she is so much better. You will also notice it was a teary eyed departure for Gracie with some of the staff members. We all said our goodbyes and they all knew that on Monday Gracie would be on her way to a very good rescue in Tucson. That helps a little, but sometimes it’s just not enough. It hurts when you are a foster or other caregiver and you see your favorite leave, again its part of rescue. But it is so hard sometimes.

Today Gizmo’s foster dad sent me an update on how Gizmo is adjusting to his new life. As you can see he is highly stressed and is coping. Just kidding. Gizmo always takes things as they come and this is no different. I wonder how many balls he has gone through, must be a lot. Thank you Ted for the glance into Gizmo’s hectic everyday schedule.
