Beatin' the Heat! The Walk Goes On....

I missed walking the dogs on Tuesday, as I had some personal business to attend to and I realized that I really missed my babies!! It has been blistering hot and super duper muggy, but the walks must go on!

   Cinnamon really, really missed me...I could tell (wink~wink)....She went right into the yard without her "puppy" and never really wanted to hold it. She was very interested in walking "with" me and we had loose leash most of the walk. She has come SO FAR! I know that she is in the Head Start program at HSHV, where she gets special training and attention from the volunteers on a daily basis. Cinnamon is also the featured adoptable Dog of the Month!

Precious Emma

The Lovely Dog of the Month....Cinnamon!!

Emma is the sweet older Beagle lady that has been staying at the front desk. She also enjoys choosing her route on her walks....Basically it's Emma's way or the Highway! But, today it was so miserable outside that she took care of her doggy business and turned right back to the front door...took a quick break to allow the children waiting in the lobby to pet her and then went back behind the desk.

    I met a couple of new fellas today The first newbie is named Bubba! What a joyful fella he is! He is a Coonhound and has a mournful bay! He was fine when I first took him out and then he spotted a buddy of his and WOOOOOO...out it flowed. He was such a cutie though and walked so nice on his leash! He is a lovely fellow and I'm betting that he gets adopted quickly.

The Bub~ster!! Bubba rules!

Now, you that know me and for you that don't German Shepard's have a very very special place in my heart!! We have a handsome lad looking for a forever home, named "Elroy"....One of the other volunteers, Karen and I were discussing names that were little more GS approved...   (smile)...like perhaps Sarge or Major...we shall see. Unfortunately, there is no photo quite yet, but I will post one as soon as our wonderful photographer gets his mug shot! Anyhow, he is an absolute DOLL! So, attentive to EVERYTHING...every sight, sound, smell, texture and some "tastes" (I was sweating  so hard today that the kisses had to have been extremely salty tasting)!! He is a dream dog!

Bridgette sees you....

Then, I had time for one short one and Bridgette fit the bill. After last weeks leash grabbing episode, I was a little cautious getting her leashed up. She sensed my apprehension and it took me a few minutes and some help from one of the staff members to get her out and about, but it is because she is so darn excited to get her exercise...she was wiggling and play bowing and giving happy jumps and jig jags, but as long as we were moving she was fine. Poor baby, she still has a week or so of easy walks, as she is still on Heart worm meds. Bridgette is such a sweetie pie and very loving and smart!           

Here is the pretty Bridgette!

My buddy Yogi is now in foster, so he is getting lots of love from his new foster family. (I kinda miss his goofy lil self)!!
      So, until Saturday, please remember to keep your pets cool as possible in this heat wave! They will appreciate your efforts! Until next time, Tanya
