Springtime

It has been a longtime since I have written on the blog. It has been a busy winter so much has happened. My spring resolution is to write a blog a month. Even though we are still technically in winter til next week. Spring is in full force here at the valley. The weather has been warm and pleasant the air is full of bird song and pollen from the juniper trees float like clouds of smoke on the spring breeze. Flower and grass are starting to grow. And so has the trust of a lot of the feral here. All of the feral dogs with the exception of Hope our most feral will now trust us enough to be hand fed. Timmy a wonderful and timid Pit bull mix is starting to take walks daily with me and my pack. This is a major achievement for him as when he first came he was totally afraid of other dogs and would spend all of his time in his dog house. Over the last 6 months or so he has started coming out more. 2 weeks ago I started walking with him with Gwena, Wong Chong and my extended house guest Philly. He has taken a shine to them. Once we get far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the dog compound. He relaxes enough with us to sniff and romp like any dog. Philly has come along way also after about 4 months of living with me and the pirate pack she has learned to trust humans again. She walks well on a leash and will sit for her food. In the mornings she wakes me up with excited wags and kisses. She still is a little timid a times but has progressed enough that we can now find her a foster home or a forever home of her own. More wonderful stories are yet to come.
