Yesterday we had a shavings party, one of many this year... the snow load for the season was so slight that breakup is going by very fast. It was bad for our winter season but great for breakup! Still, the work needs doing and thanks to help from my mom yesterday we unloaded a huge pile of shavings into the yard, already our second load this season.
Its always a very fun time of year for the dogs to enjoy but some of our newer fosters have trouble with how shavings feel under their paws. Dogs like Brooks take a full 24 hours to get used to the comfort, having not known anything like it in their lives, but once at ease you will rarely see them seek the comfort of their dog houses.
After having a very rough night sleep (Pandora was up and down all morning) I was up early getting some more office work done. Thanks to the help of our foster son Ben I was able to be in two places at once to bring you beautiful snapshots of yesterdays hard work.
Special thanks to my mom and Ben for helping make this hard job of spring a lot easier!
