On Saturday, Judy and I took a two hour tour of Best Friends Animal Refuge just on the outskirts of Kanab. They have 3800 acres of purchased land plus 3000 more that they lease from BLM and 480 paid employees along with volunteers. Aside from cats and dogs, there are horses, pot-bellied pigs, goats, and donkeys. This is a picture of the front garden near the entrance. The grounds are beautifully kept.
We toured in two modern air-conditioned vans (15 seats). Our first stop was Angel’s Rest, the burial ground for those who wish their pets buried there.
There are many specialized areas for the dogs and cats, but we actually went inside Dog Town and the attendants explained how they care for the dogs.
The kitty area was amazing; there was no odor at all.
On Sunday, we toured Kanab, but a lot of places were closed. We had lunch at Grandma Tina’s, a really great Italian restaurant. Then we found the city park which was lovely and being used by picnickers and their children.
While we were driving around town, we found a new subdivision with very nice homes, but sort of in the middle was this was a cabin which was a movie set from Gunsmoke.
On Monday morning, I left Kanab promising to meet up with Judy and her friend Rex in the next couple of months.
