We have been really busy here at DHAR. We are deep cleaning the yards for the dogs, cats, and Birdland. The deep cleaning includes washing everything down and getting ready for the winter months. I have been told it can get very cold here, and there can be snow here too! So we have to get the areas cleaned and winterized. In some of the yards there are houses for the dogs. We have lots of Igloos for the cats. The birds have their houses and other areas to stay warm and comfy.
We had one of our beautiful dogs adopted this week. Bobby. I heard it was love at first sight for both the dog and the new owner. It is a double sword... We are happy to see Bobby adopted, but I'll miss him, as he is an awesome dog! Our adoption blitz is this Tuesday and we are prepared. We are praying for people who are seeking out wonderful, special dogs and cats. I am believing that there are people out there that are perfect mates for our dogs and cats. If I had a "house", I'd own at least one of each!
We took a trip to Las Cruces and it was really a neat city. They have STORES! They have MALLS! They have lots of beautiful homes and buildings. I was so impressed. Yes, they are in the desert, but it is almost covered up by the beauty of the homes and buildings. There is a LOT of traffic, though. We don't have traffic in Williamsburg so we have kind of got "unused" to busy traffic.
Today, Burl had his 7 stitches out of his finger. We'll have to wait a while before getting his wedding ring soldered back so he can wear it. We are both losing some weight as we are literally doing physical work. We are used to using our MINDS, not BODIES! We eat at lunch because by supper we are too pooped to cook or eat!
The people here are great! There is Elaine and Charlie next to us. Charlie is from Massachusetts and likes the Patriots.. so he is our friend. They both were in the Navy for 30 years! Then there is Tina who is single and adorable. She has 2 cats and is full of wisdom at her age. She is here for a year so she has a lot ahead of her. She has her big truck and her motorcycle! She is a really cool person and we really like her. Also, there is Kim and Bob, who are workaholics! If they find anything to do, they do to the max. They will only be with us a couple more weeks and we are going to really miss them. Then we have Sharon, who lives up on the hill above the animals. She has a fence in front of her RV for her 4 dogs! She is here as the "handyperson" who takes care of fixing things as well as working with the animals. She will be here for a year as well. We do have another couple coming in to cover for Kim and Bob but not sure when they will get here.
We have a wonderful church that we attend. It is in T or C (Truth or Consequences) and called Full Gospel Tabernacle. The pastor reminds me a lot of our pastor in Ellijay. He actually lives next to our Campground with 5 horses! We have met so many wonderful people at the church and really love it!
I have heard a lot about Rattlesnakes in the area. I've been told to bring a flashlight with me at night; or better yet, don't go out at night! But.. I haven't seen one! God is on my side!
I'm going to put up some pictures I've taken over the last few days. Hope you are enjoying our time in New Mexico. Thank you for following my blog and I would certainly LOVE your COMMENTS!
