Super thanks to everyone! All of the comments have been so kind and supportive- just what I needed! I don't really think what I have done is anything great, but I do think what you guys have done for the puppy is more than great. From messages, to phone calls, to gifts for Shelby Angel, it is amazing how nice, good spirited people can really come together. The other day I had a box on my porch from North Carolina- the next day, a letter from Minnesota. Dave asked me how I knew the senders...I had to explain that I don't technically know them, but I read their blogs! Ha! It just sounds so crazy, but there is definitely a connection of like-minded people around here and I think it is awesome.
I will post pictures and updates for Shelby Angel this weekend. I just wanted to quickly say thank you to the donations and gifts. I really underestimated what her cost of treatment would be, especially now that she is gnawing at her infected, damaged feet and bones. It is as though she is trying to chew them off (half of them are missing anyways) because the infection is hurting her so much. Anyways, just when I think I am in over my head, a donation appears and things are covered! Amazing how every little bit has helped. Thank you guys for seeing the need before I even realized it would be there. (BTW-She is now wearing an e-collar and on some other serious meds, so we are working to save her little feet.)
Just FYI- I got my first Shelby Angel kisses Thursday. Yep! Kisses. I was so excited! Her tail is out from between her legs...and she wags it now!
And in the other world, I have made my big grand entrance back to the dreaded 5:30 am swim- but at a new pool. It has been hard to motivate myself to get there, especially since my next race is...oh....8 months away? Does anyone else swim to avoid sucking- as opposed to getting better?
The running and cycling are not even worth mentioning right now. Does anyone have a November race near them? Something to motivate me- yet far enough away I can actually attempt to train for once this year?

I hear you on the explaining how you know people from blog-world thing! I always feel just a little bit crazy when I tell an 'outsider' about it.
Can't wait to see new pictures of Shelby Angel. I am so happy she is starting to trust humans again!
