Today is Yom Kippur so I decided to do as little work as possible but I did go to the motel in order to check on the pets that received 'the works' yesterday. Only three of them were there. The companion of one of the dog's shared a room with a friend, because she didn't have an ID. I have know that person for many years and have been providing services for him since he was a puppy. He is a senior now. After visiting each of the dog's, and providing supplies, I drove to our PO Box. I was happy to find a letter with donations for us and for 'Tink'. I went home from there...Bottled Waters, large collar, large leash, 8-pound bag of senior dog food, wet dog food, wet puppy food, Inaba tuna fillets, Inaba chicken fillets, chicken jerky treats, kabob chew sticks, chicken chew sticks, bully stick and plush squeaky Halloween toys were shared.

We had six dogs schedule for 'the works' today. Five females and one male. Three of those females have had multiple litters. One of them was in heat today. First thing this morning, I received a text telling me someone who was driving another person's dog in was going to be late. Thankfully, it was still early enough to get the dog checked in. She was one of the three that has had multiple litters. Everyone confirmed, including a Veteran who stays on March Air Force Base. He turned out to be a no show and did not call or text with a reason. The other no show's phone went straight to voicemail. Not the way I wanted to start a new month but grateful that three dogs will not be having anymore litters in the future and the other female will never have one. I left at 8am, right before the last dog was checked in. "One by one we get them done, because the only way to combat pet overpopulation and euthanasia in our shelters is to spay and neuter." Bottled Waters, homemade cookies, ARCO fuel cards, 2 small leashes, small Max and Neo dog collar, medium dog collar, slip lead, 2-3.5 pound bags of Pedigree for small dogs, 2-20 pound bags of dog food from the Star Milling Company and plush squeaky Halloween toys were shared.
