Just Another Day or Two or Three at the Sanctuary...

We have heard from those at the animal sanctuary in Utah often. We have since given them access to write their own posts, however this should catch you all up on their first week there.

Yesterday (3/9) we worked with dogs and bunnies. We cleaned a dog house and took the dogs to the park. For bunnies, we worked on cleaning their runs while also socializing the wild bunnies by trying to feed them lettuce. Here are some pictures. One is of Annie Davies playing ball with 2 dogs in the park (above). Another is Sarah Casey, Ali Pouliot, and Jenny Weil giving “Mika” some loving in the park (below bottom). The third is Colby Galliher and Becca Gilbert cleaning in bunnies (below top).

Hello Everyone!
Today we played and cleaned up after the kitty cats of best friends. Hannah met a new friend named Honey who she was overly obsessed with. She would like to know, Dale can i bring her home?! Other than Hannah's obsession, Colby discovered Hutch (Kelsey) is a werewolf because she wasn't used to human touch". Other than that, we learned about puppy mills and what they are and why best friends doesn't support them. After we learned about the puppy mills we went on a hike to an under ground cave and we got lost... woohoo. We have a dog with us tonight, his name is Jay-Z. He is a black lab, very playful. We will keep everyone updated!
Peace. Love. Kitties.

PS. Annie breaks hearts.

Today (3/12) we headed down to the Horse cemetery and for the morning, we tore up tumble weeds and put them in a huge pile to be burned. The workers and the vets were very thankful of our work. The horse graves looked great after we cleared out the tumble weeds. Heather, our guide, drove us to some rocks right off the road. She showed us petroglyphs on the side of the rock carved by the Anasazi tribe. Then we went to lunch and lounged in the sun until most of us got pretty red.

After lunch we went to puppy daycare. We split up into groups and took the puppies for walks and took them off leash to play with them. We had plenty of one on one time with the puppies and we wanted to adopt plenty of them. Colby made a friend, Aero, who followed him around wherever he went. After Ms. Simon and Ms. Ruby pulled us away from the dogs, we drove into town and had a delicious dinner at Nedra’s, a Mexican and American restaurant. We are all looking forward to Zion tomorrow (3/13).

We are sure you will "hear" from them again. They have consistent internet access and now have access to post their own articles on this blog!

P.S. The Poulin Family just adopted a rescued dog on Saturday! Welcome Riley to the LA Community!
