Well, here we are, we’ve arrived at the end of the line. The dismantling of kennel fences and shelters began days ago, and by this coming weekend we’ll be gone without a trace. Before I tell a little about our crazy Chinese New Year adventure, let me quickly announce our closing-down workparty, and the subsequent workpartyPARTY, this Saturday, March 6th. That’s this Saturday, March 6th! I hope you can all make it—it’s going to an exciting final romp on the hill.
I couldn’t believe that one of the coldest fronts Taiwan has had in the ten years I’ve been here hit the very day my sister Jen and her friend Heather arrived from Washington! And wet and gray as well. Frankly I was a little bit pissed off. They were good sports about it, and though the idea of hitting a spa or at least staying warm and dry at home was hard to resist, we did, and right after dropping off their luggage at my place we were driving back out into the cold rain, for the first visit to the shelter.
Jen and Heather deserve medals of honor for taking time out of their busy lives, Heather as a practicing veterinarian and Jennifer as a veterinary pathologist starting her own path lab, to come here to help finish this shelter off. That had always been our goal, to place all of the dogs in good homes and close down the shelter, and it has been a 2 ½-year saga of ups and downs. What a shot in the arm you were, thank you both!
I don’t want to bog me blog with too much running of the mouth, so I’ll end this first of a few “CNY adventure” entries here, with a few pics from the first days of the visit. Don’t forget this Saturday! Call me for more information—0916 612 697
