I had the privilege today to meet Jennifer, who works at the local shelter in Roxboro, NC.   She has the first-hand knowledge of stuff we all would prefer not to know.   The shelter is at capacity.  A few weeks ago there was an owner-surrender of puppies.   Mama dog lived chained to a stake and the puppies were just running loose.   One had been hit by a car, but the owner brought the remaining 4 to the pound.    With no room available, the pups would have been gassed that same day, but Jennifer loaded the brood in her car and took them home until a place could be found for them, and transport arranged.   Jay Willis with Thunder's Angels Dog Rescue in Philadelphia offered to take them and get them adopted.   Pilot's N Paws provided the transport.

	Team Mutt Muff, Cheri and Michele, flying to NC.  Five puppies were breaking out we were driving the get-away plane.
	Four 12-week old hound dog pups, and Landen, a 4-month old black lab mix will fly to Philadelphia
	Love that puppy smell.   Although, somewhere over Quantico, Cheri and I looked at each other and whiffed the air.   The dreaded realization that icky cleanup would be required upon landing was premature though.   The smell dissipated, and it will forever remain a mystery which one let 'er rip.  It was a real doozy though.
	Back in Westminster, MD and awaiting the arrival of Kirsten, who would fly the next leg to Philadelphia, everyone got to relax and play, and whether your idea of relaxed play is Bingo or throwing sticks for puppies, it's a great way to spend your time
