Psalms 68:6 "God makes homes for those who are abandoned; He makes free those who are bound with chains." Wednesday, 8:28 AM - “Bud” the Beagle was picked up by Walton County Animal Control officer running around and just having a good time! When his initial intake photo was posted on the lost/found website for the animal shelter, the social media volunteer recognized him. Turns out “Bud” was a repeat offender! Just about a month earlier he came through the shelter and was claimed by his owner. The shelter staff left several messages for Bud’s owner. After 8 days without a response, it looked like he wouldn’t be claimed. It was time for some shelter photography! “Bud” was a willing accomplice to the photo session. He struck a few good poses and just overall loved being outside of the kennel. He was a real happy, social and friendly Beagle, did great on the leash and interacted well with other dogs in the kennel. The poor boy was being eaten up by fleas and was missing a bit of hair on his rump from chewing. The shelter gave him some flea meds to hopefully ease the irritating little bugs! He tested heartworm negative and was vaccinated and dewormed. “Bud” was photographed for the Walton County Animal Control shelter in Monroe, Georgia, USA on May 2, 2018 and placed on the shelter’s website, www.waltonpets.net. He was rescued by Atlanta Beagle Rescue on May 5, 2018. His rescue was sponsored by donation pledges to the rescue from Lane and Anne. Thanks!

Tuesday, 7:45 AM - My morning walk around the retention ponds before starting the day. All the usual birds were on the main pond: Grackles, Blackbirds, Kingbirds, Robins, etc. A pair of Eastern Bluebirds were bringing food into one of the old duck boxes. In addition to the Canada Goose pair with their 6 goslings on the main pond, there were 7 adult visitors on the more secluded upper pond. Back near the beaver bog by the firing range I spied a White-eyed Vireo; my first for 2018. I also heard a Kingfisher rattling off, but didn’t get a photograph. Walton County, Georgia |
