OMG - last night was SO hectic with 14 dogs!
So thankful Joe & Shannon were here overnight to help;
we needed all the hands we could get.
These dogs are all very sweet; typical mill kids,
dirty & stinky with way too much hair.
Had to keep them outside until bedtime, and then they
were too noisy, so into the family room, crated, they came.
Bark?! I thought they would never stop.
Joe finally ended up trying to work with BUDDY to quiet him down.
He was lonely; once placed with his crate facing another, he was fine.
Jim Shurts, Peoria foster home for FANCY,
[whose story can be read HERE]
loaded up at Kiesow's and heading to Hammond, Indiana
with KARI, HEIDI & BUDDY.
This morning, up bright & early to feed, clean and
get crates ready for Jim Shurts of Peoria to pick up the Michigan 3.
Joe & Shannon headed out about three hours later
with three pups & one adult.
I am going to take a nap!
Joe & Shannon ready to head north with the three pups
& HILDA for Paige in Oak Park, Illinois, with a stop in
Wisconsin to pick up crates from Andréa, and then home.
