Mission accomplished: She's worn out.
All it took was playing soccer in the backyard, and an hour-long walk on the town beach.

I was lucky enough to assist a very nice couple adopt this sweet girl today.

I had some good news when I arrived at the shelter this morning. My cattle dog friend, our longest resident, was adopted yesterday.

This big knucklehead is a leash biter. I'm using an extra large tug to encourage polite play and teach him how to "drop it".

I think she's ready to be a goalie.

We've just had a dog arrive at the shelter with a "battle crop", and I recently spent a morning surrounded by corgis, mostly with severely docked tails. It's cosmetic surgery, it's unnecessary, it's cruel, and it should be banned in the US.

Mina's still tired from yesterday's action.

This Pyrenees mix has been with us for a whike and has just been approved for adoption. She's a gentle girl who loves chilling outdoors with her people friends.

New arrival at the shelter. She's very affectionate and playful, and is available for adoption. Her cropped ears are going to be the main impediment to finding her a home.

Overall, Mina handled today's excitement well. She interacted with some other dogs and played a little. She also let us know when she was getting overwhelmed.

So we had a corgi meet up this morning.

Program is crashing randomly.

She was having a particularly good walk.

corgi.exe has experienced an error and stopped working.

Mina and I encountered this guy during our afternoon walk. This explains why the deer have kept a low profile today.

Try their black raspberry sometime.

Cormorants waiting for the tide.

She got all four feet wet, and peed in the water. So it's her's now we're going to have to change the maps from Narragansett Bay to The Bay of Mina.

The deer wasn't impressed by either Mina or me.

At in November, Save the Bay conducts seal-watching tours from Newport Harbor.

I second the recommendation for the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River.

You could take a boat tour of lighthouses on Naragansett Bay. There are also good walking tours of Providence's East Side.

He's the first cattle dog that I've ever met who has absolutely no herding instinct.

This girl is a special case. She's very anxious and refuses to go more than a few feet away from the shelter building. I've recommended that she go to a foster home with a fenced yard, where she can be desensitized to the outdoors.

This guy has been with us for a couple of months. He's excitable, mouthy, and grabby, so I've put together a protocol for harnessing and leashing him with minimal time and drama.

This is another of our longest term residents. A cattle dog mixed with something big and playful. He's tge kind of dog that wants to hang out and have fun adventures with his people, without much socializing. We're looking for the right adopter.

This boy is our longest resident at the shelter. He came in as a grabby/bitey basket case, but has turned into a confident, playful pup.
We're hoping to place him with someone who is savvy about cattledogs

I guess I'm supposed to feel guilty about something. I have no idea what that may be.

We had someone interested in adopting this little house hippo, but it fell through. The adopter's dog wasn't keen on the idea.
