Baby Flip

Wm and I are planning to volunteer at the shelter where we got Flip. (Specifically, at Friends of the Shelter, which is where Flip came from - they take sick and injured dogs from high-kill rural shelters and bring them to Columbus and get them medical care...which is why Flip is still here! As a pittie mix with a severe injury, he was about to be put down in Southern Ohio when Friends of the Shelter found him and got him the medical care he needed.) They pointed me to a corner of their website I hadn't seen - and there was a treasure trove of pictures. I looked through them until I found who I was looking for!! Here is Baby Flip (then known as Robby). It starts with a very skinny flip in his cage at MedVet, where he had to say for weeks and weeks as his bones healed. Then, he moved on to his foster home with his foster brother, Gilbert. Seeing these pics, it's clear they were close. Now I'm sort of sorry we didn't take Gilbert too (Steve would have killed me dead, though!)

The volunteer coordinator had some great idea for ways Wm can help out at the Shelter (such as organizing donations, reading to dogs, helping people in their shelter shop, and working on their spring 5k!) Wm super excited!!
