| The view from my window in the morning. |
Friday November 11: It stormed all night. Lots of lightning and roooooollllllling thunder. The roads were totally flooded. Power went out during the night (and was still out tonight). But not raining this am. A little cooler, some folks are wearing long sleeves. It is not THAT cool! But I am not sweating!

| Then this lady showed up! |
 |
| Puppy Pack!! |
Quiet at the clinic. My surgery cases are doing well. Bright and active, eating well.

| Burial ceremony for King George |
One of the old dogs that has lived here for ears, King George, died overnight. He had been slowing down for quite awhile. The volunteers that have been here a long time were very sad, but feel he is in a better place. I helped a small group of dog volunteers put him in his final resting place. Rest in peace, King George.

| Snack time! |
Watched the water buffalo wallowing in a deep mud bog. They love it! Helps to keep the bugs away.
 |
| A nice wallow! These three ladies are sharing a mud bath. |
I did some follow up cases and minor checkups, but spent most of the day following the dog
volunteers. Got to see a lot more of the facility. It is even larger than I realized. During the storm, one of the little bridges over the water runoff got washed away and a dog enclosure wall collapsed! So there were six dogs out wandering! They were quite happy to go into a new enclosure and explore their new digs.

| Overdose of cuteness! |
The dog enclosures are pretty neat. They are all quite large and hold 4-6 dogs. There is a covered concrete pad and open dirt areas with raised houses, platforms, tubes to crawl into or climb on. Lots of trees as well. Really pretty nice.

| Heading home at the end of the day. |
Took several "puppy" breaks! The 17 puppies with their four moms are a delight to watch. They are very active, fat and sassy.
Not a lot more to report today. Pretty quiet in the veterinary department!
More tomorrow!
