The TG Bus has arrived !
Dave and Bear left at 5:30 pm after making sure everything was done here before he left! Enough groceries and wood to last me! Our road was plowed at 11.30 am after Dave had shoveled his van out twice turning it around! 
He called me from Vanderhoof at 9.45 pm - the roads were treacherous! It was going to be a very lond drive. He reached Quesnel at midnite and met Rob with Samantha. They continued on until they reached Cache Creek to find out the canyon was closed due to a lanslide. So he slept until 7 am. Bear tried but the pups were whining - Drake missed me and our bed I think. Dave went out and talked to a trucker and was told the Coquihala was full of black ice and not to try it but follow him an dhe would show him the back way! 261 kilometers on a rabbit trail later Dave was in Boston Bar and he called me to let everyone know he was delayed. The TG Bus arrived somewhere around 1 pm and people were already there to pick up their family members! Will update soon - hopefully with pictures as they come in!

We have brought Riley home, even though Bear is much older and much bigger he is already giving her the upper hand, letting HER have the car bed while he slept on the floor, letting HER
eat his food , waiting only until she was done to eat a couple of morsels, letting HER go first everywhere, uh oh, , gotta keep an eye on this sensitive, gentleman. Though it is dark out now and we just had a hail storm they are still running around in the back and playing, she is chasing him, we will give her a bath and put her by the fire tonight and let them both help us cook dinner,
so far , so good, will keep you updated.
oh, the pie made it to Dave, and your granddaughter is a wonderful person, hope the trip back for Dave and Bear is easier.
all the best up there in isolation with the dogs.
Marka, Brent, Bear and Riley
(oh Roofie the 17 year old cat is not afraid, Riley is just curious)

Just a quick note to let you know that little Chico is doing FANTASTIC! He’s a big cuddle bear, loves to sleep under the covers between us in bed. He gets weekly baths because of this - he’s not to fond of the bath but I’m sure he’ll ge used to it :). Thank you so much for taking such good care of this boy and giving us the opportunity to become his new family - he’s fitting in just perfectly!
Thank you Yvette & Dave, you folks are true life savers up there.
