TINYA HAS SAVED, watched, trained, put-down, and raised more dogs than most of us will ever come into contact with in our lifetime. Her dogs are her family. And the dogs she lets stay with her become part of that family, too. 

I texted her, “6min.” I know I shouldn’t have since I was driving, but I hadn’t seen the boys in two weeks and I was giddy. Yea, I get giddy. 

When you give her the proper heads up, she’ll have all their “stuff” (food, leashes, etc.) waiting at the gate. 

I whipped into the entrance and dang near hit the gate with my bumper. Their “stuff” is waiting, just as expected, along with eight to ten other dogs, but Dirt and Mud are still in the house—a hundred yards or so up the drive.
