Seeing into Darkness: Louisville Rescue Roadtrip

What does a girl do for fun on a Friday night? ROADTRIP!! And what makes it even better? Blind and deaf dogs!!

Lottie Moon, Keebler and I joined Victoria, Raquel, and Dahlia, and we all hit the road to Kentucky to pick up a double merle Aussie named Orkah. Orkah was losing his home, so Speak! For the Unspoken went to his rescue! http://www.speakfortheunspoken.com

Dahlia meeting Orkah

Orkah turned out to be a lovely young deaf and vision-impaired Aussie. So like all these double merles, he is real sweetheart. And Lottie, and all the dogs, had a great time meeting the new guy.
We spent quite a bit of time at a park in downtown Louisville on the river, which was nice, and all the dogs enjoyed stretching their legs and getting to know each other before we all piled back in the car, this time with Orkah, too, and headed back to Columbus.
We stopped for dinner at Chipotle, and I wanted to eat inside, since I wasn’t brave enough to eat in the car with all the dogs. Now, I often eat in the car with lots of dogs, but this time I was in the back seat with all four of them. It seemed a bit stressful, even for me. Yet I wasn’t comfortable leaving Keebler alone with so many big dogs while we ate inside. Rachel saved the day, or at least dinner, by being brave enough to hide the little guy in her coat while we ate. Only one time did he pop out unexpectedly and grab a mouthful of burrito from her fork!
All in all, it was a successful trip, and a good time was had by all, humans and canines.
