Although very important, and I do it just about every Thursday, I pickup/dropoff dogs that are to be fixed that day at the Simi Valley low cost spay-neuter clinic. The guests for today have to be there at 8:00 a.m with a schedule pickup in the afternoon between 12:00-2:00 p.m. The staff there is the greatest and all my dogs have been fixed there. If more people would get their animals fixed, I wouldn’t be moving them all over the place, scrambling to find homes for them. Boy would I love to be put out of this business by the lack of need. I don’t see it in the cards for the near future, but maybe one day. All we can do is hope.

(Is This The Face Of T- Rex?)

I only had one dog to transport to Baldwin Park to meet up with Glen. It was 105 degrees there so I drove around and found a shady spot under some trees in a church parking lot. Nice and quiet and peaceful. For a while. Two of Baldwin Park’s police cruisers pulled up and said the owner of the property objected to us being there as she didn’t want any pit bulls on her property. I explained that we were just sitting in the shade, trying to beat the heat and the dogs would not be let out to walk around and wouldn’t bother anyone. After I explained that I rescue and transport the dogs to find homes out of state, she calmed down a bit and the police handled it very well. And they were very nice and polite. I will say that she was terrified of poor shadow and there was no way I was going to talk her into giving him a chance. But all ended well with me sitting in the shade and T-Rex in the back wondering what it was all about. Best he never knows.
