So, I woke up this morning thinking... huh, do some taxes, do some GPA/N paperwork, laundry, mail some Auction winnings out, walk the hounds... generally, a day of relaxation. I was surprised to get this email in my box:
WKS Dawn broke her leg last night. Wanna spend some of that auction money? Bob can bring her early in the morning. Very early. He’s bringing 11 dogs to Florence for North Coast. North Coast is coming here to get them.
Duane
To which, my response was "Duane, give me a call" ... a little back story: Duane works with Queen City Greyhounds in Cincinnati. He had contacted me in the summer to see if we had a place that he could safely turn out his hounds on a haul from Birmingham to his group. Of course we had a place, and we had the opportunity to meet.
After nailing down a rehabilitative foster home - Thank you Anne-Marie and Jim - and contacting the rest of the Board, I called Bob, of L&K Kennel to let him know that we unanimously decided to make Dawn the first 2010 recipient of funds from the GPA/Nashville Angel Fund. He will be leaving the Birmingham track around 11pm tonight and calling me when he gets near Nashville. I anticipate laying my eyes on Dawn sometime between 2am and 3am.
I will take this opportunity to thank everyone that bid in the recent online auction. Without your bids this would not have been possible.
Welcome to Nashvile Dawn! Im knw you'll need to go see Dr. Pearce first, but we are waiting for you here in Franklin!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I made a haul for Queen City Greyhounds in December and we met Dawn then. I fell in love with this little girl and wanted to take her with us! I was heartbroken when I heard about her leg. I'm so happy she is getting help from the Nashville folks, that is just awesome!! Take care little girl, we love you!!!
