Floppy, our rez dog

School's out and I'm east coast stylin' for a few weeks.

A friend from our Canyon Day teacher housing informed me that at the school, a free clinic was providing spaying, neutering, and vaccinations for strays. Our neighborhood has adopted an adorable she-mutt. She's a fan of mine, because I take her on long hikes. She loves H, S, C, and now B because of the nourishment they provide.

So this friend put a leash on Flops (we call her Floppy because one ear points up at attention when she hears something and the other one consistently stays lazily flopped over), walked her over, got her neutered and vaccinated, and then--to his chagrin--was informed he'd have to provide indoor shelter for her for the night.

He said there were people bringing boxes and boxes of puppies and kittens, and they even treated a coyote! He also got busted by the housing director (a.k.a. housing nazi) feeding her treats on the way over to the clinic. We've been told on numerous occassions that we are not to feed strays as it's in violation of the "no pet" policy and cause for eviction. But when I texted him about it, he responded that he's managing to keep her at bay.

Meanwhile, Flops heals and is healthy.
