#Kennel

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I put a small kennel outside with blankets in it and a tarp over it for stray cats, and a fat skunk started hanging in it a lot and I became friends with him. His name was Howie.

Short session of 5-7 reps this morning with the crate mat in and door on

He was nervous at first with the floor having changed colour but quickly realized it gave him traction and was much more confident!

No worries with the door being attached, minimal wobbling happening from the door when he nudged it and no concern from him about it. He started offering automatic downs!

Might start introducing door closure with his breakfast but we’ll see!

Lotta stuff happened yesterday, didn’t get the chance to post. The cold is taking number on me. The tire pressure on Gloriana (my jeep) dropped quite a bit, and our only air pump is elsewhere. Luckily, her tires are pretty damned rugged and it’s only a very short drive to work, but it’s still a pain. On top of that, the fatigue and aches from work, combined with the multiple effects of the cold, make me feel like I have a fever.

I was once again alone at work, but luckily one of the vet techs decided to help me out throughout the day, so it wasn’t a complete slog. The worst part was bathing some of the dogs. One of them loved shaking, so it was impossible to stay mostly dry like usual. With the cold, that was not a pleasant experience

New sleeping crate!! Fun fact - kennels are open at the top and crates/cages are fully enclosed. But big Puppy Girl grew attached to the term kennel. Wake up Sheep Doggies!

GALTx eNews: Summer Should Be About Sunshine!

Summer arrived like a blast furnace and everything from the temperatures to the cost of dog food is going up like crazy... everything that is except for our bank account balances. Foster homes continue to be one of our tightest resources. To keep doing what we do, we rely on our boarding facility, but it can be expensive. We need your help right now to stay ahead of the summer bills. Here are some of the expenses currently depleting our reserves:

With the rising temperatures, we are consuming more electricity to keep the hounds in boarding comfortable. Texas recently recorded the highest ever daily demand for electricity which is pushing up the rates, both in the short term and long term. We are anticipating a weather related surcharge on our upcoming bills and bracing for it.

Our water bill is also up considerably. We suspect we might have a leak, but have yet to find it. While we understand the water company might work with us on a high bill related to a leak, we cannot count on them to do so indefinitely. We need to find and fix the problem, which will likely require an expensive plumber.

The southwest exercise yard needs to have new sod installed and to have the temporary fencing added to keep the hounds safe.

We have added much needed shade covers to the dog runs and need to repair some of the plexiglass dog doors that have cracked. As with any property, everything needs to be maintained and repaired from time to time, especially with the heavy use of multiple dogs.

The clothes washer used to clean all the bath towels and rags is broken and so old that it likely cannot be repaired. We anticipate that it will cost about $750, with delivery and installation, to replace it.

The hounds' Kuranda dog bed covers get a lot of use and we needed to replace 25 of them at a cost of about $32 each. This expenses alone came out to a staggering $800.

We also need more supplies for the hounds such as the calming tabs, Benebones, and raw food toppers that can be purchased for us directly from our Amazon wish list.

Even the price of sending our weekly emails to keep everyone up to date and let you know of our needs is rising by 16% starting on July 1st. It seems unending and we hate to keep asking, but please consider giving a little or a lot to get us through the summer crunch. You can give on our website, on Facebook, or on Instagram. Thank you!
