More on Bucky and new on Pro-Bone-O

Bucky has started nickering when it's his turn to run into his stall. Because the weather's so nice we've started turning all the horses back out into their pastures after they eat dinner. This morning Bucky did a little crow-hop when he left his pasture. Good to see him feeling good.

On March 18, Lane County and the United Way held the fourth annual Homeless Connect. It's a day when the big buildings at the fair grounds open their doors to all the homeless. Many agencies and organizations gather there to offer free access to a large number of services. There's clothing available, breakfast and lunch are served, the homeless can get their teeth, ears, eyes, blood pressure, etc. checked. They can talk to counselers, get a massuage, get legal help, look for housing, and pick up dog and cat food and supplies, which is where I spent the day. I work with Pro-Bone-O, a loca nonprofit that holds twice monthy free veterinary clinics for the pets of people who are homeless. We give out meds when needed, do flea treatments, vaccines, and hand out dog, cat, rabbit and ferret food. We see 50 to 60 pets per clinic and hand out hundreds of pounds of food---all donated.
