Had a busy day following wagging tails today. Now that I have a blog format, I will try to cover three different areas of my HSHV experience. One will be covering my walks. Two will be introducing new, interesting dogs and three will be about the dogs that were adopted. I will also try to review any of the dogs that we got any updates on!
First, dear Clarabelle is back. She is the very large female Rottweiler. She is such a sweetheart of a girl. I was sad to see her back and don't know the circumstances, but it's better that she is back in our care than not being cared for like a queen!
Clarabelle
The first dog today was Dixie. She is now on the quieter side of the shelter with a much bigger kennel. I had hardly any trouble at all with her, from leashing all the way to return. Dixie has the cutest little wiggly gait. She walks with the same side legs going forward at the same time. (I call this the "toochee~tooch). It always makes me start a song to the beat! Luckily, there is no audio, so I don't feel compelled to share. The words are very simple and only a dog can understand.
Miss Dixie Doodle
She is a reverse brindle. (Almost black with lighter "tiger" stripes)
Next, was Yogi. Yogi is so narrow, after walking the chunkier dogs..he looks so tiny! He has nice long ears. He is a lab mix, but is the color of a black bear. I had trouble harness him, as he is so narrow and squirmy, but we managed. When we walked in the front area, he rolled and scratched his back in the tall weeds. He did the leg kick thing, which is always ridiculous! He made me smile and I think he smiled, too!
Th Yog~ster! (Yogi)
New one...up next...and whatta darlin'!!! His name is Charley and he is a boxer mix. Brindle, bob tail. He is a little powerhouse. He is only 9 months old, but knows sit, wait (kinda) and lay down. He sort of looks like a mini version of my boys!

Anyway, I was very impressed with Charley's big dog attitude. He was very mature, yet, had all kinds of spunk! He probably only weighs about 30-35 lbs, but may get a little bigger.
Emma, the Beagle, is staying with the front desk, keeping them company. She really needed a walk, so a walk she would get. I haven't walked this little miss yet, so we were virtual strangers. She didn't want me to plan the walk....I didn't know that about her! She wanted to be the route selector! When I was "in front" of her, she leaned back and made a sound that sounded like a "yipe/nope/uh~uh", so I returned to her side and waited for her to pick a direction and then merrily, merrily merrily life was , but a dream!!!

Still had time for one more. The only dog that hadn't been out since the earliest walks was another "new" one her name is "Unique" and she is just that! She was kenneled by Dixie (when Dixie was on that side before her move). She looks like her, but she is jet black with similar face markings. Unique is very shy and submissive in her kennel. I was kind of worried about her, but when I went in to get her....she was super excited! jumpy, but (so far) not gettin' into the :goodies in my pocket! Put her harness on and as soon as we crossed the threshold of her kennel, she jumped for joy!! She enjoyed getting up on all the seats and benches on our route. Our walk was very nice and she was very gracious to get back and give out those kisses!
Unique, is just that!
There were STILL small doggies that needed to get out one more time. There were three walkers still there and 5 little ones, so....I walked Pebble and Roscoe! No photo of Roscoe. They are small and walk very quickly!! So different than the "normal"size pooches.

SO, that was my day! Thank you for visiting my DogBlog!! Please leave a comment, so I know that you "like" it!
Bye!
