I didn't get anything posted last night...we were mingling a little late and by the time we got dinner it was a pretty late night back at our hotel.
I must say that Day 1 of the No Kill Conference exceeded my expectations. I have seen many of the speakers here before and I was somewhat concerned that a lot of the sessions would be a review of things I've previously heard.
But they're not.
I'm getting a lot out of this conference. I plan to pass along a lot of the stuff in the coming weeks on this blog - -hopefully starting as early as tomorrow. We'll see.
All I can say is I'm excited about the movement to end the senseless killing of dogs and cats in our shelters. I'm excited by how many people are involved. I'm excited that as a country we're as close as we are to achieving this goal (even though it may not seem like it at times).
If you can't wait for my posts, you can catch Kim's review of Sue Cosby's presentation, which I didn't sit in on as I'm doing mostly the legal track (sorry Sue).
Christie did a solid job of live-blogging Winograd's first presentation on Legislating No-Kill (which I did sit in on, and will comment later).
Meanwhile -- this is not Conference related, but Rinalia has a really nice post on leaving dogs alone together -- it's a great, honest look at her dogs and why she doesn't leave them alone together -- and an example of another person who may have been better off if they'd known their dogs better.
Enjoy -- more later.
Thanks, Brent, for the info. I wish we were there, hopefully next year. Will look forward to your posts and other info from the conference.
