Down the Rabbit Hole

I find myself in Wonderland. Down the rabbit hole we go,

where crazy people undertake a kennel remodel with dogs still in residence.

Shuffling dogs from one place to another to accomplish in one week what would take mere mortals at least four.

Simultaneously making good on a โ€œPicnic in the Gardenโ€ auction item โ€“

for five human guests and their five canine companionsโ€ฆand expecting everyone to get along?

Alice: โ€œThis is impossible.โ€
The Mad Hatter: โ€œOnly if you believe it is.โ€

Then, just for good measure โ€“ add in a Volunteer Appreciation Picnic for 100 and their dogs.

The Mad Hatter: โ€œHave I gone mad?โ€
Alice: โ€œI believe so. Youโ€™re entirely bonkers. But Iโ€™ll tell you a secret. The best people are.โ€

We all go a little mad sometimes.
The good news: one week of chaos, and it will all be done!

Wish us luck!

I am a nascent gardener, rescuer, and photographer, chronicling the journey of the dogs at Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary near Sacramento, CA - and the Memorial Garden we have devoted to them.

  1. Best of luck. That sort of chaos is exhausting. I can’t wait to see the finished construction. Meanwhile, I love your Alice in Wonderland quotes. They work beautifully with this post, alongside all those adorable pooches and their loving companions.

    Happy to be in the Homeward Bound flock! Great post, ๐Ÿ˜€

  3. A wonderful project! I hope your one week of chaos goes smoothly and passes quickly and then you have many more years of bringing such happiness! ๐Ÿ™‚
