I went back to Lebanon today to help with the Pit Bulls….
Good news! They are down to 31 dogs and a transport was supposed to come today
from a Pit rescue in Arizona to pick up 4 more. Operation Broken Chain has gone on longer than most, only because
of the breed. Today is Day 26 but with each day, the dogs are becoming more
socialized and are really starting to develop personalities.
I got to help feed them this morning. Sheila distracted them while I put the food
in and filled their water dishes. If there was poop by the door, which there
always was, I cleaned it up until they could take the time to pull each dog out
separately and really clean the pens out.
Gagger that I am, I almost threw up with every pen. And so after 11, she was kind enough to
offer me a new job. I changed gloves
and became the transporter for the rest of the day. We would pick the crates up, load them on a flat dolly and roll them
to the change-out stations. Pick them up again and carry them in. And back to the floor after clean-out. It
took a lot longer today because they were really playing with the dogs and
getting them to do minor obedience training.
So during the down time, we unfolded potty pads again and I did some
sweeping and mopping under the crates after they were moved.
