The big move
Finally the big day has come - today our shelter-dogs were moved to their new home.
The cats and rodents had already been taken to the new building the days before.
The "dog move" was mostly done by the keepers and a lot of volunteers (like me ;) ).
It´s been really good to see so many people working together for a common cause and everybody was in good spirits, I believe mostly because the improvement for "our" pets was so obious.
It´s been a nice change...;).
And even if it the coordination must have been pure stress for all of the keepers, especially the "boss", all of them managed to stay polite and civil - I was well impressed with their efforts.
In spite of the new building not being turnkeyed and although I would have liked some things differently, e.g. a bigger room for the small animals, it´s a job very well done for such a comparatively small association!
Especially if you like me were treated to the stunning contrast between the old and the new shelter.
I´m so happy that the dogs & cats (and some of the rodents) finally have got appropriate quarters.
The dog and cat kennels are great and for once it´s been a pleasure to shove one´s dog into them.
(Even though Jack and his new "kennel-mate" Aiko don´t get along with each other at all - I just hope they´re not going to start fighting in earnest, especially as Jack, the german hunt terrier, wouln´t stand a chance against the bernese mountain dog mix Aiko, who is bout four times his size.)
Compliments and thanks to the many people who have made this possible!!!
