I've been taking the kids weekly out to the HS to donate some things...The first time we brought lots of old towels, a large container of peanut butter and a huge thing of bleach....Then another time we brought more peanut butter and some money to donate to a special dog named Champ...Kohen woke up on Monday morning and brought me his piggy bank..He started dumping out all his money and said he needed to give it to the doggies...I said well we have somewhere to go but we can talk about it later...Then I saw a picture of this sweet guy on the HS facebook page saying his leg was injured and needed $500 for a surgery...I showed Kohen his sweet face and told him the story...He immediately said "get my piggy bank"...What a sweet boy--melts my heart...So we headed out there the next day to give Champ $10 from Kohen's piggy bank and I added some to it...Champ did get his surgery and unfortunately had to have the leg amputated...Kohen was pretty sad about it...But then I showed him a video of Champ running around on 3 legs just one day after his surgery...What a sweet puppy that will still have a wonderful life.....
But today just he and I went back...I promised him that we could just go and leave Kresee at school one time so that we could really spend some time out there and play with the dogs...It was seriously 103 and super hot....We hydrated all morning!!...and got there about 1pm and stayed for 2 hours...We got all the small dogs out and let them run around the play area...We loved on each of them and gave them treats....
Sissy is a sweet girl...Looks like a beagle/basset hound mix...Her owners just came and gave her up...Broke my heart to hear how often people do this...She is sooooo good and sooooo well behaved...I wish I could have taken her home:)
After playing with the small dogs, we had to go get Daisy...Everytime we go out there, Daisy is the kid's favorite...She is so sweet and will just lean against the cage and they just love and pet her...So Kohen was super excited to get her out of the cage to play with her...She wasn't too great on a leash--haha...I just think she was so excited to be out of that cage as well...
Don't know why this one is sideways...But she has the sweetest face....She is actually going through the PAWS for Greatness Training right now and will be eligible for adoption on July 21st...So we are hoping she finds a great home...
Kohen and her played with this chew toy...He would throw it and she would bring it right back....
Before we left, he wanted to get the little tiny pit pup back out to play with...He was so tired and hot though...
He finally just went in the shade and laid down...I know he will find a great home b/c he is so stinking cute....
These experiences have been so great...I'm loving that he is developing such a loving heart for animals like Kerry and I both have....He still gets a little apprehensive with the bigger dogs, but I'm really hoping this helps his fear of dogs...He's made big steps of petting and wanting to be around them...I know he will continue to love going out there and volunteering and doing what we can...AND I do know eventually one day we will end up coming home with 2 or 3 of them!!!...But we keep telling Kohen that Hunter is 14 1/2 and Parker is 11 1/2...2 olders dogs probably wouldn't be too happy if we added another dog righ now:)....
