2 pages of boring

Don't bother reading this one if you are hoping for a tug at the heartstrings or some spicy news.
Not happening. That's tomorrow. Today was a list of things to do that was 2 pages..notebook paper kind of 2 pages. I called, faxed left messages and emailed the Secretary of State, IRS, rescue groups and shelters, and more. The phone rang ALOT and many people have "issues" with their dogs...today. There are piles of papers everywhere and I hate clutter.
I did learn quite a bit about dog food, thanks to Michelle at Prism who supplies Four Muddy Paws. She explained the calorie differences in many foods. Too many calories, too soon can cause some dogs to get diarreha. Also, (and I knew this one) so many allergic reactions can be alleviated with a switch to good simple food and eliminating all the processed confusion in cheap treats (not to be confused with cheap trix). Educate yourself about the food you feed your dog and the food you eat too! Okay, off my soap box.
Still fretting over how the dogs will get in and out of Hogan Street and if the staff will help or sabotage. and am truly buried with work. Not really complaining, just feeling a little nervous. Nobody cares or believes how much work there is to do that has nothing directly to do with teaching kids and dogs. I certainly didn't have any idea of the mountain of things to do when I started this.
I am ever amazed about how I would rather be at a maximum security facility with these kids and some super cool teachers and administrators than almost anywhere else.

I will bring a dog with me tomorrow. A BIG dog. Let's see what happens. The boys will find out who is going to get a dog and who isn't..
Much love to anyone who reads this,
Cindy
