“Where will you begin?” she asked. “At the beginning, I guess.” This sign was posted over our shed door. The weeds are indeed laughing. Two hours after the last puppy of Irish’s litter was adopted, in rolled the van with six more! I can’t show them to you due to a promise we made to the kind human who brought them to us.

After the rain… and before the deluge… moments of beauty – the company of dogs, filthy, muddy play, and a banner weekend for getting dogs home. There were absolutely no appointments on the board when I arrived early Saturday morning, and then they came, one by one.
