A Turtle Gardens karelian update!
Of the six Karelians that came in together only Silken doesn’t have an adoption pending!! Cashmere was the first to eb adopted - she is in Surrey. Paisley was next and she is in Vancouver while little Survivor is in the Comox Valley! Brocade aka Cade and Chenille have a home pending in Fanny Bay - how cool is that!! Silken is a wonderful girl too. She looks like a mix though. Now that the others are adopted her turn will come. She is a people dog, she likes to be with you, listens very well, walks on a loose leash beside you - watches all the way. She even sits for treats. she is also quite dog social and likes to play tag and tug with the smaller dogs. The pups often sleep with her.
Beautiful Silken!
And now a Happy Endings and pictures of Cashmere and her kids!
Hi,
I wanted to let you know how well Cashmere is doing in adjusting to her new
life, which can be summed up in one word "Perfect." I have to say she is the
most wonderful dog, she is an angel with our kids and they adore her with
all their hearts. The first few weeks where a large learning experience on
both ends, however Cashmere has become a constant shadow to our 12-year-old
daughter and a watchdog for our 4 year old almost over night. In the span of
3 weeks, she has gone from being afraid of everyone and everything to a dog
that walks around the house with her tail held high. She loves to play and
only barks when she wants to play. Thanks to her maternal instincts, she has
a strong sense of boundaries when playing with our kids. Although she
sometimes get over excited she is very easy to calm down with just a few
good pets and some friendly words of encouragement.
Thank you with all our hearts for such a wonderful companion.

I am thinking that Faye may be related! She looks a lot like Cashmere!!
Pretty Faye - another "I want to be with you"dog!

Cashmere looks great, and so white! The last time I saw her she still had a lot of winter coat and was greyer. Isn’t it neat how they can change and show so much more personality once they have their own home. Good news.

Her white has come completely out now thankfully mostly into the brush and not over everything else in our house
With her wounds healing, she has a health and soft coat which only shows a few light gray and brown patches to add her own unique styling. She seems very proud of her coat and tries to keep it clean despite the temptation of the mud and creek surrounding our house.
