Sorry its been awhile

but things have been busy.
First of all, about our loving Louie. He is a bone head. LOL
Louie is your typical busy puppy. Yes he is almost 10 months old but I doubt if he has had any training before coming here. He can't be trusted long alone out of his crate. Paper is one of his favorite toys and he will destroy it if he gets the chance. Perhaps I should start a recycling depot here as he can shred magazines and newspapers in no time at all. And mail, well, it just doesn't stand a chance. Too bad he can't tell the difference between junk mail and that donation check.
He got to play on the weekend with other big dogs and its just what he needs. He has great manners with strange dogs and plays very well. It would be my hope that whomever adopts him gives him the chance to do this on a regular basis. Poor little Sashka just does not allow that kind of fun behaviour in her home.
I spoke to the vet about having Mr. Louie neutered and we both agree that within the next month we are going to take care of that. The mange will most likely have a breakout but because he is doing so well without any meds we will go forward. So Mr. Louie will be available soon for adoption. We will have him fixed, have those floppy rear dew claws taken care of and get him all up to date with shots and a spiffy new tattoo. All of this on top of the expensive medication and vets bills will put us in the hole financially but thats just what happens in rescue.
Donations for the garage sale are flowing in and we should have some great stuff available. This sale will hopefully help with the vet bills.
I had an interesting weekend in Victoria training for Noah's Wish. This is for preparation for any kind of disaster. I loved meeting all those new people, seeing old friends and making new ones. And what I got to learn was amazing. Being prepared for a disaster is everyones' responsibility. Having things in place for both yourself and your animals for at least 72 hours will make it possible for you to wait for help to arrive. Please please please make sure you have a disaster kit ready. If you need help finding out how to do this, then just let me know and I will be happy to help.
