NEPR doesn't usually transport Pyrs from outside our own region. This is for several reasons, including the fact that there are lots of needy dogs and prospective families right here in the NorthEast. However we do make some exceptions and work with reputable organizations in other areas, especially since rescue organizations of all kinds are full to bursting as the economic situation leads to a record number of surrenders.
Katie, a lovable Pyr from Delaware is one of these exceptions. A very nice person from Delaware took Katie in when her owners could no longer care for her and contacted us to place her. The person who took her in brought her up to us very late on Thursday night. When they got to Bayonne, we took a little trip to the park and then she laid right down on the front doormat with Buddy.
They next day I was working from home so I was able to take Katie and Dakota and Buddy for a nice long walk in the morning and then keep an eye on them as they got to know each other.
On Saturday we took all three dogs over to a very muddy dog park and let them have fun.
Mmmmm! Muddy water tastes the best!
This dog park even has a muddy puddle alternative - a doggie water fountain.
What hole?
Let me help you with your hole!
Uh oh. I bet you're not supposed to be doing that. I'm going to get out of here before you get caught.
Digging that hole was hard work!
After the park we went on another adventure. We went to look for the 9/11 memorial in Bayonne. When Judy sent me the email I thought it might be some sort of spoof, but I looked it up and it does exist! So we took our exhausted Pyrs over to see the monument.
This plaque shows that on a clear day you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance and further on, ground zero in Manhattan, and shows where the towers stood.
This looks even more uncomfortable than before.
Katie waited until we got home before she passed out.
On Sunday Todd took them on a nice long walk while I packed the car and then we headed up to meet Katie's foster family.
