Volunteering at the Forsyth County Humane Society

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to give an update to those of you who knew about our volunteer orientation at the Humane Society today. It was great! We had a lot of fun, saw some great animals, and met some really wonderful people.

Update: Sadie

We took Sadie to the park yesterday and her knee popped out again. It's getting worse and is really starting to bother her now. We were hoping to push the surgery off to next year or so, but it looks like we're going to have to schedule it for this summer. We'll keep everyone updated as soon as we know more.

March 2008 Roswell Shiba Inu Meetup

What a wonderful day today! After the stress of last week and yesterday's terrible tornados and weather, today was a very pleasant surprise. Not only was it a beautiful sunny day, but most of the mud and muck was dried up by noon.

Sadie awoke bright and early and was ready to go by 10:30 this morning... she knew that today was the day for the Shiba Inu meetup group. She didn't fight me at all while I put on her harness, collar, St. Patrick's Day t-shirt, and her bright green bandanna. She also got quite impatient while I tried to get Colby ready to go, as well. Finally, it was 12:15 and we were in the car and headed down to Norcross to join all of the other Shibas at Pinckneyville Park.

As soon as we got to the park, Sadie was ready to go off-leash and play with all of the other Shibas! It was also exciting that she got to see her older brother, Sasuke, again AND she met her little sister, Beowulf! We managed to get a picture of the three of them together and it was so cute!! So, for your viewing enjoyment, here are Sadie (11 months), Beowulf (4.5 months), and Sasuke (2 years):



The whole time at the park was amazingly fun: Sadie had a blast with her Shiba-kin and Colby had a ball chasing around Rottweilers and Weimaraners. Another great meetup; way to go, Ana!

Anyways, after the park we headed straight home and Sadie and Colby both couldn't wait to get in the car and sleep. After a short rest at home, they took another walk around the neighborhood and went to play on the slides at the neighborhood park. As I type this, they are both passed out in the floor looking like little angels. :)

Beauregard - RIP

Sad day today... we lost our 12 year old male Himalayan, Beauregard. He had a blood clot that paralyzed him and we found him laying in the hallway and screaming in pain. We rushed him to an emergency clinic, but too much time had already passed and his chances of recovering were poor. We opted to let him go instead of putting him through more pain and treatments.

He will be greatly missed by all of us, that's for sure. My beautiful, sweet little boy.
