I'm heading into Missoula today to pick up a disabled dog we're flying in this evening from a shelter in Shreveport, Louisiana, so I won't have a new post until sometime Wednesday. The dog is a small Shepherd mix, his name is Timmy and he has a crippled front leg. We have actually just committed to taking four disabled dogs from Louisiana. Another one from Shreveport is arriving on Friday, and she also -- ironically -- has a crippled front leg, too. The other two are blind-and-deaf Dachshund mixes who are coming from a New Orleans rescue group ... I still have to arrange their trip. I'm not sure how we ended up with four from Louisiana, but I don't think it had anything to do with the Saints winning the Super Bowl.
