Just checking in

Been MIA for a while. Thought I’d check in. Had an old friend staying for a while. Took the DW Pointman and the Ruger Super Blackhawk out for a drive the other day. Other than that, had me hands full preparing the new building for the Husky rescue. Been under construction for a few weeks now as time allows. Making progress. Roof is on.

I ripped that busted door off the front and went to replace it the other day and realized I bought the wrong door, so will be doing that tomorrow.

Stalls are setup. I have 3 like this.

One is temporarily my tool crib

Isolation stall is done.

Got the isolation stall segregated so it opens directly into the quarantine pen. That’s Red in the isolation/quarantine area.

Started replacing some windows. Buying 1 at a time right now as I’m way over budget.

Needs pressure washed and a paint job still.

Got the pack moved into a new stall.

Nic brought out a noisy ball while we were working. That got the attention of 6 of them.

Spent $2k on a new invisible fence from Sport Dog. It works way better than PetSafe. Thunder and Raven have been habitually escaping and running to a pond a couple miles away. They spent a few months in the quarantine area because of it. That quarantine area is physical fence 1/3 acre in size. The new fence has been tested by Thunder. Judging by the speed at which he returned, he definitely doesn’t like the run through detection. All babies except Red are now running free.

Hopefully, this weekend, I can get the additional 2.5 acres wired up and expand the running area to 7.5 acres. I’m not using is for anything anymore. They might as well get to run on it. That extends their length of run to 1/4 mile, and those babies like to run.

Spoke with a firm today about filing the 501(c)(3) paperwork. That ball should be rolling next week.
