When you see Dolly on the right, you can see why she reminded me of a certain Snoopy, who survived my house fire. When I saw her a few times at the shelter, it was a no-brainer when I was asked if I would consider taking her home for some rehabilitation as a foster dog. She’s been so wonderful and has flourished despite being surrendered to the Humane Society of the North Bay.
Dogs with us:
These are the “Before Groom” pictures of Yogi, a recent surrender at Humane Society of the North Bay, who needs a permanent home. He was very patient with me as I trimmed his long hair with Shea’s assistance. He was a little anxious and deserved a better reception than the two fosters gave him, but he is taller than all the other dogs in the house, so it probably helped him not be intimidated as much as he otherwise would have been. When I first met him in the shelter, he kind of resembled a (cute) sloth in his crate.
Here are pictures of Yogi after he got groomed. I think he really loves his summer cut, which I suspected I would not get done in one day, but I gave him several breaks so that he could overcome his anxiety.

It was very nice to see no drywall piled up in the garage:
Here are some pictures from our joint pool/birthday party hosted by good friends. We were decidedly not interested in celebrating the country’s birthday this year. I’m not sure if I ever will again at this rate, but it’s important to contribute to our communities and try to make a change. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Thanks to those who were able to make it, given that a lot was going on for this non-working day for most.
