There has been a dog hanging around Wakana's school for a long time. Shawna in a Labrador mix, very skinny but very friendly. She belongs to one of the teachers.

Wakana loves that dog. She's always taking it treats, shares her lunch with her, walks with her and pets her all the time. She bought a brush so she could brush Shawna's coat. Occasionally she and another teacher would get together after school to give the dog a bath. Whenever the owner traveled he would get Wakana to go over to the school to feed her.

Apparently Shawna started barking at the students today. So, the owner, bundled the dog off to Guam's Animals in Need (GAIN). He took Wakana by surprise. All she knew was that Shawna was no longer at the school. She came home crying that he had killed the dog. She didn't know that GAIN doesn't euthanize dogs or cats unless it's absolutely necessary.

Soooo, tomorrow I have to call GAIN to find out what has happened to Shawna. On Friday afternoon we will go up to GAIN and bring Shawna home. We will have a dog. Sigh.

To be honest I have been expecting her to bring Shawna home for a long time.
