"Monday morning - can't believe there are five more full days to go - seems like a long time. We drove around from 9:30pm until about 2:00am last night, looking for dogs based upon reports of prior sightings, finding some, chasing after them in our big-ass muscle diesel truck, and being successfully eluded all night. What a surprise.... those dogs can hear that truck coming from five miles away! Especially in the deserted neighborhoods that we favor.

The destruction down here is indescrible, my first real view of it was last night, so I imagine it must be soo much worse during the day. Can't really put it into words. I'll try to get photos, but as with nature, I'm sure pictures can't do justice. One neighborhood we visited was particularly devastated. Debris everywhere, boats docked in front yards/medians and cars hanging from trees. Hard to imagine how long it will take for a full recovery in this town.

Right now it feels like a futile effort - maybe if we catch one dog it'll make it all feel worthwhile. We are supposed to look at dogs today for bringing home to Colorado. That's the bright spot of the day."
