Just walked some dogs

Post by Tracy in WI »

My son and I just got back from the Animal Care Center where we walked some dogs. After the walk, Boo the dog was ready to give out lots of kisses to thank us. I encourage you all to support the ACC while here (or from home). Those working there and volunteering are doing good work .

While there, I asked about the kittens from another poster. I was told that they were taken to the vet, have been spayed/neutered and will be released back to the wild. They were about six months old and able to fend for themselves without the mom cat. So, they have been taken care of.

That is great Tracy, YES...EVERYONE....should take a little time and do that on their trips to STJ. It's nice to give something back to the island, you can be sure we will be doing on the next visit.

Hi Pia - We didn't see Bones or the puppies while there. I hope that means they are at someone's home.....

Tracy - that's awesome to know about...the walking dogs thing. I might have to do it next time I am there when I am having withdrawals from my own dog!

That's great Tracy, that you and your son were spreading the love :)
I will definately keep that in mind when I visit next time! Sure I could spare some time for the good of the animals.

Walking the dogs is defintely what we will do next year. We had a kitty for two weeks at Maho that we hated to leave. We fed her every day - S/O said she ate better than we did! She was so sweet and we hated to leave her. It's definitely the precious little ones that have your heart while you are on island.

That's so great you guys did that, Tracy! It just broke my heart going in there, but I'm glad I did because I got to talk with them about what they need. I sure hope "Bones" and her puppies are in a nice foster home.
Good for you guys!
