I stopped watching "Dogtown" in March. I still support Best Friends, which I discovered through "Dogtown", but now find the show far too heartbreaking to watch. It was seeing dogs in Ethiopia get thrown down a pit and left for dead that made me turn off the show for good. I also never...

Boy were we all glad to see her when Momma walked through that door on Sunday night. Weird, but she didn't say anything to us when she came in. We thought she wanted it to be quiet so none of us said a word. Zinnia and Zephyr jumped up on either side of her and gave her kisses, I mushed myself against...

Kudos to Isla Animals! http://network.bestfriends.org/golocal/l atin_america/news.aspx?pID=12883 Enjoy and share the good news of what people...

Animal charities have an undeservedly bad reputation as being fanatics or being rabid or being rabidly fanatical. Animal-hating people gleefully pounce on the slightest stumble any animal charity does. In order to make animal charities look better in the eyes of the general public, they should stop sharing...

Back in Portland late last night. It is not confidence instilling to fly on a plane with a minor fuel leak in the engine, "probably just due to the heat". Dogs, Mollie and Dutchy barked like heck at our taxi cab arrival, but were so glad to see us. I unloaded my dirty clothes (volunteering...

We had a quick breakfast at The Village and then adjourned to the Welcome Center for tour. Here is a photo of the group enjoying...

Up early this morning, though not because of sleepover dog Jackson. He and Emma are still snoozing (he snores). I'm missing out on my usual early morning walks here as there has been a mountain lion seen around the Welcome Center and such. Darn, but I don't feel lilke being eaten this morning...

Up early, we headed to the welcome center to officially check in to the cottage and get our volunteer assignments. There were about 14 people waiting for the welcome center to open. My first clue that this week is a super busy one at Best Friends. Since we've been often and recently, we were able...

Emma and I are at the Portland airport, all checked in and ready to go! I am always so excited for Best Friends trips, I must exude positive energy. And I LOVE it when people ask where I'm going. Come on, come on ask me. We are leaving what looks to be a pretty hot week in Portland; 90's all...

Our flight to Las Vegas leaves early tomorrow morning, so whatever I need to get done before we go, happens today. So far I am on track, or even a little ahead. Though most of the retreat attendees are staying in Kanab, I just couldn't say no to staying in the cottages. I will have to make an extra...

My daughter, Emma, and I fly to Las Vegas on Tuesday (the day after tomorrow!!) on our way to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and the 2009 Team Leader Retreat. We'll get there a few days early for some good old fashioned volunteering with the animals. But I get ahead of myself. Getting out of town...
