still Summer

Autumn has started but it still feels Summer here. The early mornings are nice and chilly but by 10am it is pretty hot already. So I have been using lots of sunscreen to prevent myself from getting a sunburn. And the dogs have been enjoying lots of siestas in the afternoon.

I am not working in quarantine every day anymore. I have been working in the Back to be precise. I like it a lot more, the kennels are bigger, you don´t have to desinfect yourself everytime and I like the fact that I am getting to know different dogs here. A large variety of different breeds, small and big dogs. No puppies here.

Yesterday we tried to introduce Rosie, the cute Staffy, into a group here. Outside she was all submissive and sweet but once inside the kennel she turned into a completely different dog. She started attacking 2 of the other dogs, so we had to put her back into quarantine unfortunately, :(

The shelter is kind of full, so there are some dogs in quarantine that can come out but we have no kennel left for them. It takes some time to figure out which dogs can share kennels with each other.  On top of that another dog came in the day before yesterday. One of our volunteers almost ran him over on her way back home. I named him Teddy. And yesterday someone brought a small dog named Lolly. She used to live with an old lady who lost everything in the flood, :(
So there is no stopping it, dogs keep on coming. Fortunately there is a transport to The Netherlands and Germany next week, which means about 30 dogs will leave.
