Welcome to Covered in (DOG!) Hair!

Wow!

...lots of things have been going on here in Covered in Cat Hair Land. Adoptions, rescues, transports, bathing (cat baths, not people though we DO tend to shower here, daily, usually)

I'm going to catch everyone up. Bear with me it will take a few days, but here's a start.

First up. Wanna help rescue animals but don't have any way to foster in your home?

GOT A CAR?

GOT AN HOUR OR TWO?

GREAT!

Sign up to be part of On The Road Again "a volunteer animal transport group dedicated to aiding rescue animals in moving to their forever/foster homes. We combine over-the-road truck drivers, pilot cars and personal vehicle transporters for quicker and more efficient transport of our furkids."

This past weekend, Sam and I picked up SIX Brittany Spaniel puppies that were being transported from Tennessee to Connecticut! LOTS of folks volunteered to care for these dogs, each one driving between 50 and 100 miles, where they would meet the next driver and hand off the pups.

Look at these guys!

I didn't even KNOW what a Brittany looked like. These guys were all adorable, sweet natured and, thankfully, quiet! Even though Sam and I are both allergic to dogs, their transport route went by our home, so we had to jump in and help. It was made more exciting because we were also the last leg of the trip—which was ON TIME! Imagine that long of a drive being so perfectly timed? I can't, but it worked great, everyone was really nice and the trip perfectly co-ordinated.

In the hour we had together, I fell completely in love with these dogs. What was so strange to me is that I've been around cats so much, that being with dogs was a big shock. If we had been in a car with six cats it would have been insane! These guys just napped and softly nibbled my fingers. They also responded to me talking to them and we all know that cats will take a message and get back to you, instead of pay any attention!

No, I'm not going to give up on cats, but, um, now I want a GOGGIE!

So get off your butt. Sign up with On the Road Again and make a difference in animals lives!
