Tammy
and I have spent the last couple of weeks alternating between
transports
and helping Elizabeth. There are adoptable dogs left in
Tylertown, albiet
most of them have at least one issue. For the
biggest part, the main issue
seems to be "does not get along well with
other dogs." It's a sad
situation, but that DOES NOT make them
UNADOPTABLE, it just makes them
harder to place which is the reason
they are still there. They haven't been
forgotton or pushed aside. We
simply need to put our collective minds and
resources together to make
a perfect match for these guys.
Elizabeth
has done a phenominal job with the place. The kenneling may
look a little
odd to some, I know it did to me when I first saw it 
Upon further
investigation of it, I found the runs to be some of the
most amazingingly
well thought out bunch of mazes I have ever seen in
my life! The most
inexperienced and/or lazy person in the world
could take care of these dogs
with ease and without worry of any
"biting fears."
Elizabeth has
worked her tail off in Tylertown for the last 10 months
while most of us
have returned to life as we know it pre-Katrina. Just
over the last couple
of months Elizabeth has transformed CK into a
haven for those dogs still
there so that her successor will be able to
put forth a minimal effort into
the actual care of the animals and
have plenty of time to PLAY with and
ENJOY time with the few animals left.
All I can really say is that the
best gift each of us could give
Elizabeth for her tireless dedication to
the animals of Katrina would
be to find homes for the few that are left so
that she can enjoy piece
of mind and some much needed R&R with her
wonderful husband. I'm sure
the hard work of the well thought out kennels
would be dust in the
wind and an answered prayer for Elizabeth if they were
all empty by
the end of August!
Can we make this happen????? Can we
all revert back to the early
post-Katrina days when egos and differences
did not exist? Can we come
together one more time for the few animals left?
Does anyone else
think that this would be the ultimate closure to the whole
Katrina
fiasco??
Lets all jump off of our soapboxes and "Git 'er
done!!!"
