Went back to Fort Vancouver today. Had training on the operation of the soon-to-open newly remodeled visitor center. The official date is November 14. It looks pretty good but quite a bit to be done to get ready. The remodel was extensive but certainly budgetary restrictions were evident. New electrical, new roof, new heating, a new front canopy, plus some fancy electronics. But the original footprint was retained and the windows were not replaced. Overall though, a great remodel.
We, along with other volunteers were shown the working of the new equipment. Operating them when it is our turn will be the challenge, especially when it may be a year until we volunteer there again.
Wednesday R and I are driving to Biggs Junction to meet another volunteer and pick up a Doxie that needs transport to Portland from eastern Oregon. I am trying to help ODR (Oregon Dachshund Rescue ) When ever I can. I believe that rescue is the right way to treat and adopt animals whether they are dogs, cats, ferrets, dinosaurs, extinct or not.
Stopped at Petco in Beaverton on Saturday. Greyhounds NW had a "Meet a Retired Greyhound" event so we stopped by to pet a few. We are thinking of another. They are magnificent creatures.
