Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Hannah has a few issues that need to be worked on (including some house training), but so far she’s turning out to be a pretty nice dog and starting to settle in. I think Simba would still rather not have her around, but he’ll have to learn to get used to another dog besides Nala.
Picked up my first foster dog yesterday from Wild Heir Lab Resue. Her name is Hannah, a yellow lab with a very happy personality. A little timid about some things, but a very nice and sweet dog. Needs some training and a little fattening up, but I think she’ll make someone a good pet.
Started working with her on getting her to recognize her name and respond to it. The initial training is reminding me of how much patience I need for dog training. Two years of reasonably well behaved Nala and Simba have spoiled me I think. Fortunately she’s a lab and very food motivated so training should be pretty easy.
I don’t think Simba’s entirely happy with this new interloper, but I think he’ll get used to her in a few days.
The new hospital building hasn’t even been fully occupied yet and I’m already having to defend my territory from poachers.
We were given a room for storing all the new equipment needed to test the x-ray equipment over there. It would be completely impractical to haul stuff back and forth every time I needed to test the x-ray equipment there. Plus the room provides me space to test the portable x-ray and mobile c-arm units too.
Today I wandered over there to find the room and start moving things over. When I found it, I discovered that someone had pasted a carefully crafted ‘Physician Workstation’ label over the sign that said ‘Physics Workroom’.
Was someone trying to fix what they thought was a room labeling mistake, or was someone trying to claim it for themselves? Personally I think it was the latter. Whatever the label, the key I was given unlocked the door, so it’s mine.
Off came the label and in went my stuff.
Anybody out there between Atlanta and Charleston headed this way this weekend who wants to give a lift to a couple of Labrador Retrievers? They’re coming from a shelter in Alabama and headed to a Lab rescue group based in Georgetown. Looks like their trip up to Atlanta is covered so far, but they still need to get from there to Charleston. If you’re headed this way, have room (they’ll be in crates) and can give them a lift, please think about helping out!
Transports are typically set up in relatively short legs (1-2 hours), so you don’t have to be travelling the entire distance from Atlanta to Charleston (although if you were, that would be really cool too). If you’re somewhere in between and can help out with one of the legs, that would be marvelous.
I may even end up fostering one of the dogs that you transport!
