It is pouring rain again! The dogs are all wet, with muddy paws. Why do dogs go outside at daybreak then decide to check on you to see if you are still breathing by sticking their cold, wet noses and soaking head on your cheek? Then scamper happily away to the common room when they hear the shriek. Some dogs have a macabre sense of humour!! 

The floors are all decorated with muddy paw prints. The wood stove is chugging away trying to dry everything off - it is a losing battle. I think I am wishing for snow - much cleaner than mud!

I received a call from Cam that Pete is a delight! He has latched onto her 12 year old son. He was so glad to meet them and jumped into their brand new truck as if he had always sat between them. He never looked back. Cam tells me he is acting like an overgrown puppy - he is so glad about everything. The calm, well behaved boy hasn't shown up yet. He is having fun - he is just too excited to be well behaved. But he will. Pete is a good dog.

Hero is on his way home. Dave met the ferry as it was pulling into Prince Rupert and found Michael right away. Hero was introduced and went away happily with him. As did little Maggie - she likes everybody! Hero is on his big adventure - his own family! There were no problems with crossing the border - both dogs had all their paperwork.  Good luck guys - I really miss you.

Dave and his sister Bear made it home by midnight - the TG Bus has a few minor repairs - the heater motor needs to be replaced - a necessity up here! And it will need winter tires. A few more expenses but reliable transport is the foundation of long distance adoptions. It is just too expensive and too stressful to fly them. 90% of our adoption are long distance or internet adoptions. The TG Bus is necessary for our Happy Endings.
