Dog Headquarters!
                                      Over 400 rescue dogs live at Best Friends
                                                    Play yard for some of the doggies
                                                Dog walking ... this is Pirate, a semi-feral dog
                                               Nancy walking Jeb, a very shy guy
                                          Me walking Clifford - check out the view behind me!
                                               One of the many octagon shaped buildings in Dogtown
                               Inside the octagon shaped building - they have a great set up for the dogs 
Each dog is celebrated and very well cared for :)
                                       Daffodil, our sleepover doggie.  Yes, she slept on the bed!
Daffodil cuddling, awwwww
 Petting on kitties at Cat Town
 A great set up for cats!
 Screened in outdoor areas - the cats love it, especially the rafters!
 One of the many kitties with cerebellar hypoplasia, a disorder in which the cerebellum is not completely mature at birth.  These kitties wobble and stagger and sometimes fall over, but they get around just fine and enjoy life at the sanctuary!
 Pigs!!  This is Penelope, a potbellied Pig, along with Otis, the resident Pug.
 Plenty of room to roam and stuff to do for the piggies
 Otis still hanging out with Penelope (who is over 100 lbs, but "small" for a potbellied Pig!)
 More of Piggy Paradise ...
We helped prepare the pig's meals - lots o' salad to chop!
