Speuter day and a Happy Endings

Filed under: Uncategorized — yvette @ 9:13 am

The sun is shining but oh man there is no heat in it!! It is -18 this morning. The TG Bus started up without any problems. Dave’s buddy called him this morning asking for a ride so Dave who heard the phone was up ahead of me to make the coffee. And fill the woodstove. All I had to do was get the two victims ready. Jade is a short legged girl just a year old but already had a puppy which died - she was an outside dog. Kernel Pupter is a doberman cross - a big, slender fellow who is very good natured. He may have a home in Spokane, Washington if we can figure out transportation - he can’t go fed-ex unfortunately. The puppies will go this afternoon when Dave picks up the groggy guys. and pick up a big labish/houndish puppy from the pound.� It is also bulk week at the Super Store - so a very busy day for Dave! It makes the trip very cost effective - multi tasking - an hour’s drive uses a fair amount of gas! These are hidden costs to running Turtle Gardens. The time to drive an hour to drop off the dogs and then back home again. Later in the afternoon drive the same hour back to pick them up - a lot of time and gas but it has to be done! All dogs are spayed or neutered (speutered) vaccinated and vet checked before adoption. That is our mandate and the only way to ensure each dog is healthy, and cannot contribute to the over population of pets. They are also in a group foster to help them adapt to home type situations. They start potty training, and basic manners. They learn to be indoors - a lot of these guys have never been inside a building let alone a home. A lot are strays - some are second gerneration strays and need a lot of TLC to just start to be good canine citizens. and good family pets. It all takes time and a lot of money to do it right. We hope Turtle Gardens does it right and send good family pets to happy families.

A Happy Endings!! - An Update from Spice!

To all of you at Turtle Gardens,
hi, this is Spice. Thought I’d let you know that I’m fully settled in and I’m happy again, you’ve found me the perfect family. I needed them, and they needed me, and it’s working out real well.
I found a boyfriend, his name is Buddy and he lives down the street, I often play with him when my new mom and me go for our late night walk, and then he walks me home, what a gentleman.
I also like to chase squirrels, they have lots of those here. Mom says I’ll never catch one, but I beg to differ. Those little buggers are fast, but I sure try. Wish dogs could climb though. I think climbing a tree is cheating, don’t you think?
I’m sending you a picture of me and my friend Kira, mom and I went for a two day holiday at her sisters place in Ashcroft. Boy, did we have fun, running around in the snow. I hope we can go again soon.
Anyhow, things are great, thanks so much for everything you did for me, I think of you fondly,
yours truly,
Spice

Spice is the brown girl! Thank you Spice for the update - I LOVE Happy Endings!!
