We're in New Orleans and it smells pretty bad

Greetings from New Orleans. Tamara and I are working hard. Everyone here is very dedicated and VERY busy. I am, according to everyone, exceeding expectations and learning new things everyday. However, the humans and, especially, the animals are all very very sad and upset and that makes it very hard. Plus the smells are TERRIBLE and that makes it hard for me to sniff out people so they can be saved. My eyes and nose are running all the time and I have to worry about water moccasins (these are NOT shoes to play with but SNAKES!) I wear boots and other stuff and Tamara gives me a bath every night. We are sleeping on the floor of a big retail store (with lots of other people and a few dogs). I found a HUGE shelf full of tennis balls. They SELL tennis balls. Why would they do that? You can find them for free at the dog park. You have to chew through plastic containers to get these. I chewed through several! So anyway, Cross your fingers for us. We'll be safely home soon. Please try to help all the people and their pets who can't go home for a long time. Love, Dawson
