Well, the good news is that Holly left on November 13th for Second Hand Hounds in the care of Patti Simonette. Thankfully John Vaughn was able to meet the transport and keep Holly overnight, and with Patti's permission, Holly ended up staying until Wednesday in John's care before he takes her to Claremont.We appreciate John and Patti's help to get Holly on to a new life.
Sincerely, Karen RLRR
JOHN SAYS:Holly is doing well. I asked Patti is she would mind if I kept Holly for a couple of days to give her a chance to relax and enjoy some affection. She has been able to play on the deck and in the backyard with the other dogs. I babysit 2 others a lot so there were already five here.
She is getting the routine down to a degree. She is still very shy, but very calm and sweet. I carried her to the couch last night downstairs so she could lay next to me while I was watching TV with the other dogs lounging. 
I stroked her head and just continued the process of having her learn that she can be inside a home and receive affection and coexist with the other dogs and relax. Like most, she obviously has not had this luxury, even though I don't know her background. 
She slept in a kennel last night behind my computer, but she goes out across the deck to the back/side yard which provides a nice comfortable place for her. She generally does not realize she is welcome to walk into my home, but she is warming to the idea. Sincerely, John, Chico and the gang
