Hello from Kanab, UT
We just spent an amazing day … we volunteered for the day at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Happiness
definitely is ‘A Warm Puppy’!
When you volunteer you get to choose which type of animal
you want to work with – they have dogs, cats, horses, pigs, birds …
Of course we chose dogs … and then you get to choose from
puppies, young dogs, mature dogs or senior dogs. I immediately grabbed the puppy slots for
Bruce & I!
Oh … how much fun is that?
I kind of lucked out because there’s lots of jobs to do around there
like cleaning floors, windows … cleaning poop etc. But somehow I ‘missed’ all those chores and
got to play with a bunch of different puppies all afternoon!
Bruce cleaned some windows and folded laundry and helped
feed puppies … but he also got to walk quite a few of them.
The area itself is amazing ... it's a large no-kill shelter located in Southwestern Utah in Angel Canyon (formerly Kanab Canyon) near Kanab.
The sanctuary is on 3,700 acres (15 km2) owned by Best Friends, with an additional 33,000 acres (130 km2) leased from the United States Bureau of Land Management near Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon's North Rim, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Lake Powell.
The views are spectacular ... and the area feels so peaceful and calm. They even have a graveyard for their own and other people's pets ... and it sounds very other-worldly with hundreds of wind chimes amongst the graves. Very moving!

You know tho … as much as we loved it … it really makes you
remember how much work puppies are. They
are energy in motion! I’m
exhausted! Tonight will be a nite out
for dinner!
