Rudozem Street Dog Rescue

Yesterday was even more hectic than each day normally is. The vet came to do vaccinations in the morning and then it started raining. That meant that 3 foot of snow started melting. The outside pens are flooded so we had to put dogs in pens with other dogs which we wouldn't normally do and they are quite crowded. We were struggling to keep our footing where in parts there was about a foot of water on top of compacted ice. ........... Apart from all that we had a phone call from a man sayng he had lost a dog and it fitted Max's description. The guy came to see him and we were quite ready to refuse to give him back and threaten him with cruelty charges. As it turned out the man was really nice. Max was pleased to see him and the man was upset to see how much weight he had lost. He picked him up and was making a fuss of him. Max had run off after a fox and the man had been looking for him every day. I did tell him that his collar was too tight and we had taken it off him and to make sure that it didn't happen again and he assured us it wouldn't. He had even had Max vaccinated and was asking us about getting him microchipped. Anyway even though I was prepared for a battle, I felt quite happy about handing him back.

Later yesterday, the rain turned to snow again. Once again we are snowed in and can't get in or out. The boys can't get from Rudozem to the shelter to come and help with the dogs and it would be too dangerous to try. Our electricity went off last night but is on again for now. Kerry and Kosta have no electricity in their apartment in Rudozem so it is more than likely that ours will go off and we will also lose mobile phone signal.
