Please pray for little Cherokee

Oh geez, I had another early Easter gift from God today. He sure is on my side.

I took the mobile adoption unit out to an outreach today for 7 hours. I had 4 dogs and 3 cats with me. I was the only adoption counselor there so it was a little stressful trying to get everything ready and keep track of everything. Anyway, I was at the front of the unit when something told me I should go check on the dogs. I walked back and Sheba's cage was open and she was GONE. I immediately started screaming and crying because we were parked in a parking lot by a busy street and I was scared out of my mind. I ran around in a few circles then I spotted her. I dropped to the ground and called her and she came running to me THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! Someone had probably opened it to pet her (which they WERE NOT supposed to do) and not shut it all the way. Thankfully she must have just gotten out. What another close call for another gorgeous puppy.

Here's a picture of our mobile adoption unit:


And here's a pic of Sheba (4 month old German Shepherd/Chow)

God is really working w/ u. Thank goodness that you were able to have Sheba safely back w/ u. What a cutie pie she is.

Aly, God is on your side because you are an ANGEL! How many times do we have to tell you that sweetie!?!?!?! I truly believe that things happen for a reason and what comes around goes around. If you do something good for another, it will come back to you in some way shape or form in ten fold!
I know it's so hard for you being on the front lines in the battle to protect and save animals but you also get to see the miracles. I usually can't get to a computer on the weekends but I did think about Cherokee over the weekend! And I just KNEW that she would be ok! Because dogs are as close to perfect as us humans will ever know and God probably knew that we mere mortals needed her here more than up there! Pet Talk has been on a roller coaster ride that last few weeks it seems and I don't think any of us could have taken the loss of little Cherokee!!
You are so wonderful and big hearted Aly-girl! I have learned ALOT from you since I joined this board and it's made me a better person!!!! Keep up the good work and don't let anything get you down!!!!

Boy does Jennifert got it right about - what comes around goes around.
We need to keep things calm around here for awhile. I am so happy that Cherokee made it! And that Shba didn't get away.

HECK NO I'm even too scared to drive our little van, hehe! You have to have a Class C drivers license to drive that mobile unit, or was it Class A? Bah, you guys know what I'm talking about, right? The driver that went with me on Saturday was a real creep and said the stupidest thing after the Sheba incident. I was tempted to tell him to get lost and I'd push the mobile unit back to the shelter if I had to!!!
