Welcome to Texas ya'll to the Bakersfield 4

They're here. It was a long trip, but the Bakersfield 4 are home. Welcome to Texas, ya'll. New names to go with their new lives. Kissing that past goodbye. It was bittersweet for our four. They made friends for life at Bakersfield KCAS animal shelter. I've pulled a bunch of dogs from KCAS in the past. I'll share photos and updates in later stories, but this story is all about a brand new life, or like my good buddies the Hickoids say Brand New Way. Welcome home, Rza and Sza (formerly Dorothy and Indica) Cardi B (formerly Chiquita) and Apollo tha' Dog!

I got to the sanctuary where Reunion Rescue will be boarding our four with a truckload of food, good food, rich people dog food from our friends at Healthy Pet, Tomlinson's and Petsmart. After a long ride filled with detours that took Ruben and our travelers all the way up to almost Nevada from Arizona, they pulled in. 

I knew to hold back as they are understandably fearful of women. It was hard for myself and Angela who is the director of the sanctuary where they're boarding. She kept saying she wanted to scoop them all up and squeeze and cuddle them. They truly are adorable in the classic Colby dog nanny dogs. Staffy bulls, tiny and fiercely precious. Apollo tha Dog hopped right out of the van and got to exploring. He gave the place his A #1 seal of approval, running around and sniffing and playing with the other rescue boarders and home dogs at the sanctuary.

More to come, but here's a late shot Angela sent. They have their own room with a dog run and playtimes in the big dog fenced area. I think everybody likes their new home here in Texas. Oh yeah. The red pillow under Rza's head. It was part of a big sack of toys and outfits that are going over to our friends at The Dogslanding House. But that red pillow. I was what am I going to do with this. Angela has a collection of little dogs from the shelter system who have sanctuary for life with her. I thought they might like the pillow, but Rza had other plans for it. Sweet dreams, angel girl.
