Today is a happy day - a new begining day, a big adventure day for 10 dogs. they are going to their new families. So it is also a big day for the humans too; well for one today is the big day - the rest is tomorrow! Eight dogs have been bathed already - two more to go!  - Titus and Spice. Everyone was very good in their bath!! Little Ivan did get me soaked but he was quiet for his towelling and brushing! Shelagh is going to our foster - Diana in Vancouver. Diana is a dog-walker so Shelagh will have loads of exposure - people will see how well-behaved she is instead of a reverse black dog! It is well known that black dogs are the hardest to adopt. But the same is true of white dogs! Even small cuddly ones like Max and Ivan - they did not have the interest that most small dogs generate. And Max's home fell through at the last hour! Ivan will be meeting his little mistress in Prince George then travelling on to Tumbler Ridge. My cuddly little bed partner will be cuddling in another bed tonight - good luck softy little one! Titus is going to Bullie Buddies where he has the best chance ever of a perfect match. Dollie will fly Pacific Coastal to Victoria - thank you so much for supporting rescue dogs! Pacific Coastal is the only way to fly!! Thank you Caroline for picking up Dollie and taking her to the airport. Thank you Val for picking up the crate and taking to Bev at Bandstra Transport - they will return our crate to Houston - gratis - please support the businesses that support rescue and especially Turtle Gardens! Your dollars supporting them help us! 

I will continue to update today's blog as the dogs start their adventure.  Even I need a coffee break!

Dave and Terry left at 4,30  minus one passenger - Spice decided she was not leaving and is hiding. she always come up to me for ear scratchies not today - she heard th eother dogs were having baths so she hid. when we were loading up the van - she was nowhere to eb seen. I took Sugar for a walk to the river, all around the yard hoping Spice would come out for her buddy - but no go! Finally Dave left - Sugar too but no Spice. Hopefully she will come in at bedtime - but she never said goodbye to Sugar

Pixie is travelling in a soft sider, with extra very soft blankies. She is wearing a harness and is leashed to her crate - one side and half the top is open so she can see out. Her sweater is with her in case she gets cold. She has so much character!! Good luck little Pixie I will miss you!.
