Otis a rescued lab Chesapeake bay retriever mix enjoying some rare snow in long Beach WA.

I cleaned an old suitcase out, so I could take it to Goodwill.  I left it open and before I got back to putting things in it, my little adopted girl, Boo, decided it was a good place for a nap.  My son happened to come in with this smart phone and took the picture.   

I sent this to my friend who volunteers at the Shelter.  She said it is like the little dog is saying, ” Adopt me!!! Adopt me!!!…….I am packed and ready to go!!!”.

Of course this little doggie is not up for adoption as we love her too much.  Thanks again, Diana, for making it possible for us to get Boo, as she is just the sweetest little girl.

We went to the beachpets breakfast this morning and it was really nice.  What a wonderful idea!

Fondly,

Shirley

Thanks to Robbie Richeson for taking these photos and to EVERYONE who helped produce our first ever Beachpets Breakfast!  A special shout out to Ilwaco HIgh Senior Francisco Galvan, who made this event his senior project.  He did a great job!

Just one of the many characters who come through the shelter.

Kitty is a very adventurous cat.  She is the beloved pet of American travelers, Peter and Marcia Simmons, who are hiking from Miami , Florida to Ushuaia in Argentina .  They are currently in Colombia . Kitty is often seen resting in Peters backpack as they travel.  They have set up a little umbrella on the backpack to shade Kitty from the sun.

Kitty is enjoying the trip as much as her owners. She often climbs on Peters shoulder to get a better view of the new scenery.  She is not at all shy about meeting new people.  If there was an award for the most adventurous cat, Kitty would be the purr-fect candidate.

To the world you are just one more rescue person.

To a rescued pet, you are the world.

I can’t find my Mom … so, would it be okay if I hung around with you guys for a while???

NOT SCARED OF THE “BIG GUYS” AT ALL … VERY INQUISITIVE.

AND THE HORSES  DON’T SEEM TO MIND.

THE FAWN LOOKS SO SMALL.

After the horses moved on, the doe came for her fawn.

[So, all is well, in case you were wondering.]
