Points of light

Even with the difficulties of money and staff, small points of light keep shining through.

• We're sending another 12 dogs to Denver tomorrow morning.
  
• After ten days out sick, AK is back and we're glad to have her.
• After three months missing, a ferret was reunited with his owner by LM. She checks Craig's List almost every morning to see if she can match up any of our animals and get them back home.
• The new software is installed and we are just waiting on training. It only took a year!
  
• I got to see several women graduate from a dog grooming program in which the shelter participates. They have overcome challenges in their lives and are ready to start new chapters. It was very moving and there were many hugs and some tears.
  
• JW and his wife have a new baby girl.
• And for the past few days space has not been a deciding factor in the hard decisions.

But the best light of all is that Georgie is officially mine. After deluding myself into believing that I was only fostering him while he received heartworm treatment, I paid the $$ and his status was changed to "adopted" in the computer. Dr. P said they knew all along that he was mine. Everyone else just said "finally!".
