I talked with the paint lady at Caldwell Lumber company this morning about the sealer we need for the new dog pound. She informed me that we will have to buy a cleaner and apply before we can seal the new concrete. She also informed me that we should wait 60 to 90 days before we apply the sealer to new concrete. I told her to go ahead and order the cleaner and sealer and we would apply it when the time is correct.

I talked with the animal control officer this morning and informed him about the sealer. I told him that he should make plans to start using the new pound the first of July. We have paid WFA to take care of our dogs through June. I also told him to use as few of the pens as possible until we have a opportunity to seal the floor. He said the he would take care of that. I also told him to purchase a small tarp to cover the pens to keep the sun and rain off of the dogs until the roof arrives and is installed. The time frame for the new roof was three to six weeks. The tarps will work as a temporary solution.

I also told Jerry to install a section of fence from the edge of the pound to the existing fence as a safety factor for the animals and the officer. It will take about 50 feet of fence.

I was told yesterday that the fence company will probably be here today to move the gate to the other end of the pens.

I will be going to Hot Springs tomorrow to attend the AML conference.
