HERE

Surprisingly we flew right through the Atl airport and the day before july 4th at that. The flight was uneventfu (Thank you, Lord) and was smooth until the last twenty minutes or so. We got into Vegas and again got out very quickly. We jumped in a taxi, got our rental car, and headed toward Best Friends. Intersestingly, we left NV, drove into Arizonia, then to utah, back to arizonia, and then back to Utah. No, we were not lost. We had an option of driving through zion canyon or back through Fredonia, AZ so we chose the later. We drove through Zion last time we were here so there was not use in paying to drive through. Our cottage overlooks the horse pasture. It is soooo cool. We got in about 10 pm there time, or midnight Anderson time. Of course, we are up at the crack of dawn but we both slept on the plane so I guess we are ready to go. I look forward to meeting the kids of dogtown, catworld, and bunny town. This place is massive yet in the middle of nowhere. 33,000 acres in Angel Canyon that is truly breathtaking. Pics to follow.

Leaving for the west

I don't care what anyone says, dogs are smart. This morning I tried not to change my routine because my lab, Olive Lang, always seems to sense when I am going away. This morning was no different. She has followed me around, cried, tried to break down my bedroom door, and won't eat. Poor thing. I hate to leave them but I have good caregivers coming to be with them and I know that I will be able to share alot of love with the animals at Best Friends. Please pray for safety in travel over the next 9 days.

Headed to Best Friends

It's the night before our big trip to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. Kanab is pretty much in the middle of nowhere near the AZ line. We will fly into Vegas and drive about three hours to Kanab. After visiting the sanctuary last October when we attended the No More Homeless Animals Conference I knew that I had to return. My good friend, Colleen, and I will spend eight days out there volunteering most of that time. Check the website out. www.bestfriends.org The stories and pics are amazing and heartwarming. Even if you are not an animal lover you will be blessed that there are people who can do what they do on a daily basis. I will spend most of my time with the dogs, at Dogtown (Nat Geo on Friday nigts at 8). I will also try my hand at helping pigs, horses, bunnies, and cats. This should prove interesting to say the least. Tomorrow will be a busy day so I guess I should go to bed. Pray for us as we travel and for my kids back at home! I will miss them!
