Monday, 3:15 PM - When days here at the shelter get this stressful (21 dogs impounded in the last 3 days) I can get to the point where I want to snap, or at least get snappy with everybody. It is not easy to balance out a shelter, avoid euthanasia, coordinate adoptions and rescues, and still take Facebook flack for the dogs that don't make it out alive because nobody was interested. I survive, relieve my stress, and relax by taking walk breaks up to the ponds and woods behind the shelter.
How many photos can I take of plain old ordinary Canada Geese? Well, this bunch that came in for the afternoon on Monday looked so calm and relaxed (as compared to my upset disposition) as they preened and rested that it warranted a photo.

I think you know how much I appreciate what you do. You also know I will not let anyone talk about you or your shelter or comments will be removed. I often thought about putting in application to work there but thought better of it. I know I could not do what you guys do. All I can do to help is daily post the dogs you have on your page and try to get the word out about the ones in there. I update daily so people will know the status of each of your dogs. Thank you so much Bill for all you do. You do make a difference. I have seen that.

Those of us who cherish our furry family members weep with you for the horrible things people do to animals. You do an incredible job trying to get pets into homes that will love them and care for them. You did not dump them, relinquish them, neglect to microchip or keep it up to date. The ones who make it out wouldn't but for you and that is better than any of them would have but for you.
