Final Update

It seems the dog saga has come to a close. Week before last, both Stanley and Banjo, the last two dogs unaccounted for in the aftermath of our trip, were adopted. Kudos to Hilary and Judi, their foster parents, for sticking it out until they found homes.

Finally, Cathy and I can consider the New Orleans trip a success. With one sad exception, all the dogs we brought back have gone to permanent homes, foster homes, or into the prisoner training program. The one dog who didn't make it never really had a chance, which just makes us wish we hadn't put him through the trauma of the trip, but we didn't know at the time. No one did.

So, at long last, we close this chapter. It's been a memorable experience to say the least. Thanks for following along.
