I started today on the Eastside. With it being a holiday, I wasn't sure what I would find when I got to the Path of Life Community Shelter. The kennel area was already locked back up but some people did have their dogs out. I met with one of them in front of the kennel area and then I met with a couple in an alley area around the corner. I also met with others in that same area. I provided a few with supplies and scheduled one dog for 'the works' on Wednesday. From there, I drove over to University and Victoria to meet someone else with his dog. We had a visit and I shared a few supplies before heading home. A short while later, I went out to meet a friend for lunch before returning home to start my afternoon work routine... Bottled waters, Benadryl caplets, finger dental wipes for pets, tear stain wipes for pets, paw rub, collapsible pet dish with leash clip, vienna sausages, Inaba Churu Rolls, handmade pet jacket, chicken jerky treats, 2-20-pound bags of dog food from the Star Milling Company, Inaba Twins. Inaba meal toppers, wet dog food, buffalo tendons, bully slices and bully sticks were shared.

I made arrangements to meet someone at our storage units this morning so she could drop off a donation while I was picking up more pet food. After she left, I headed over to Colton to meet with some people who had spoken to me about needing pet food. Nine dogs met me at that location. A few came with their companions and some followed others there. All of the pets received treats and chew sticks and many received supplies as well. One of the homeless women had been given boxes of eye wipes, dental wipes and paw balm. She asked if I could use any of those. I took packages of each. Anything I don't need or use will get passed along where it is needed. From there, I drove home, did a little housework, ate lunch and then got started on my daily routine at my desk... Bottled waters, large bag of recyclables, handmade pet jackets, large leash, chicken jerky treats, 3.5-pound bag pf Pedigree for small dogs, 4-20-pound bags of dog food from the Star Milling Company, 17-pound bag of cat food from the Star Milling Company, wet cat food, Inaba Twins. Inaba meal toppers, Inaba Churus, Inaba juicy bites, wet dog food, large bag of jerky treats, buffalo tendons, bully slices and bully sticks were shared.

I was expecting a delivery, this morning, so I did not make any plans to do my daily travels. Delivery people seem have a habit of showing up at the end of a scheduled time slot or sometimes not at all. I felt lucky today. Not only did they show up but they were here fifteen minutes before the beginning of their time slot. That gave me time to go out for a bit. I drove through Rubidoux and then to Fairmount Park. I saw where one of the fires had broken out yesterday but I did not find anyone with pets in any areas of the park. I tried calling someone, before driving back through Rubidoux. She did not answer so I took a chance and went to where she stays. She was there and I was able to visit with the dogs and provide supplies. From there, I went to our PO Box to pick up a prescription I was waiting for and then returned home where I answered calls, texts, emails and worked on social media... Bottled waters, chicken jerky treats, 20-pound bag of dog food from the Star Milling Company, large bag of jerky treats, kabob chew sticks, Nubz chews, buffalo tendons and a bully stick were shared.

First, I would like to thank all of the people who donated for the cremation of 'Rocky'. We met our goal and have about $130 left over that will be put towards the next pet needing that service. I am hoping it is not in the near future though... It's Friday, so I drove to the Eastside and parked by the Path of Life Community Shelter on Massachusetts. The kennels all need to be cleaned out on Fridays so everyone is supposed to get their pets, and their pet's belongings, out of the kennel area. It was pretty busy over there. Eighteen pets were at that location. I spent time with nine of them and managed to get photos of eight. When I left that location, I drove back to Jurupa Valley, checked our (empty) PO Box and then went in the house for an 11am zoom meeting. After lunch, I worked on social media, emails, texts, calls and scheduling spay and neuter appointments... Bottled waters, chicken jerky treats, Inaba Twins, Inab Churus, Tiller Tugs leash, kabob chew sticks and bully sticks were shared.

Two of the five pets that received 'the works' yesterday were put in the Motel6 last night. The others had somewhere else to go. At 9am, I went to the motel and checked on both pets. The first was a female dog named 'Bella'. She was still a bit 'out of it' but was recuperating nicely. The other was a male cat named 'Sylvester'. He seemed to be doing fine and even enjoyed some of the chicken jerky I brought for the dog. I did not do anymore of my daily travels, when I left the motel, because I needed to get out to Costco and pick up my glasses. From there, I stopped at home for a bit and then went back out to get my two week fill and check the PO Box which was empty. I returned home after that. I took care of social media, replied to texts, emails, phone calls and scheduled spay/neuter appointments. Not the busiest day but I accomplished what needed done... Bottled waters, chicken jerky treats and a bully stick were shared.
