Today marked another amazing vol day. They just keep getting better, each and every time. This time, we had both an amazing group of Emory volunteers out, along with members of our regular Team Russell, to get the job done. The weather was perfect. The chili was amazing. The camaraderie, exercise and TLC for the dogs? Beyond fabulous!
Thank you to everyone on this team, newbies and veterans, who made this happen. In tumultuous times, we can always count on these days to bond everyone together for these Terriers of all sizes. We could not ask of more …
The Emory law students with Mama Donna and Nor (Eleanor) after a hard day of work!!
There were so many great "players" in yesterday's "game," but we have to give former GA JRT's Comet's and Abby's dad Alan MVP on his first vol day. He wasn't only hard-working, he was downright fun.
The sexy men of rescue, getting the not-so-sexy stuff of wrapping kennels done. Alan, Robert, Lindsey, Madelyn, Diane and Co. made that happen.
Baby Girl had an absolutely fabulous day! She received SO much love and attention from all of the vols, including Tim. She was in heaven. She is such a wonderful girl, looking for a human of her own.
Fritz was in heaven yesterday. Actually, all of the dogs were with Demetrius. He gave as many dogs as he could tons of love and exercise.
The greatest thing about vol day? Giving ALL of the dogs time to go for walks/runs and play in the field? Neither of these boys are pure Jacks, but ... don't they look like father and son? 🙂
A couple of our former rescues always come back to visit us on vol days. This time it was Jake (once known as Barkley). We have yet to to reunite him with his baby, Pinky, because their fabulous parents visit on different occasions, but ... it will happen ...
There's nothing we love more than a long-time, online follower finally getting to visit rescue and meet all of the dogs she/he has seen posted. Chris did today and all of the dogs benefited, especially Nick. Thanks for making the trek out to see us, Chris.
Spike reunited with my foster mom, Bonnie. He's still here, still ready to roll.
Stefania giving Merrill lots of love. A big puppy, looking for love
Snoopy just arrived ... We don't expect him to last long ...
"All hail the queen!" Miss Eleanor doesn't demand respect; she just "gets" it when she shows up. Tim and Demarius (and everyone else) are among all of us who tip our hat to her and her rescue royalty.
Snoopy decided he needed to help John mow the lawn. Again, we don't expect Snoopy to last long. Just need to get him posted ...
The boys and girls are blending into the background on these beautiful fall days! Turner came back from the "satellite center" to visit us for the weekend. He and Skeety were checking one another out ...
Lindsey and Alan, working their butts off ... This is not easy work ...
The hardest part of yesterday? Putting up the wraps and the front tarps. We try to let the dogs out as much as possible during the fall/winter months and use the tarps to ward off any chilly winds. They spend the extra-chilly nights in the indoor heated kennel.
