This last TG Bus run has certainly proved once again that our anon donor whose donation was geared to TG expenses anywhere it was needed and no strings attached - and what was so desperately needed was 4 good snowtires for the TG Bus. The TG Bus is owned by TG. This trip was a marathon of endurance with bad roads, snow/slush and multiple accidents.

This is the road after 10 hours of driving! Then six hours of waiting for the bus accident to clear.

Thank you so much for keeping my guys and 8 dogs plus Dez safe this horrendous trip!

Christmas was a wonderful day with family - Dave’s sister and her daughter, partner and grandson all visited  to show us Christmas through the eyes of a child! I had forgotten the awe and wonder of Christmas. i am hoping the spirit of goodwill stays with me for a long while. It was a most relaxing and beautiful day! The dogs were all very well behaved - the puppies and Paddy had a great time playing together and Paddy followed Stan all the while he did his chores with all the kennel dogs. Thanks to a special person every dog received a large can of dogfood - hand fed to each and every one - to teach them how to have a soft mouth for treats and to eliminate food aggression - a whole can each - thank you!!

Then we all ate a superbly cooked meal - thank you Dave! Our day ended quietly and renewed!

Trip is learning all about treats inside the house. Although still a bit shy she has come a long way in her rehab.

Today saw Lorna arrive with Christmas Hampers and dogfood from herself and Jean and Bruce and Margaret. Thank you so very much. Your support and kindness means so much to all of us at TG. There was a turkey and a ham and all kinds of goodies and all the trimmings to go with the turkey. There was homemade jams and cookies. Thank you so very much. We appreciate it all!! Thank you for thinking of us.

We also received a hamper from the Smithers Town Office, and Jane Hetherington and Jan and Heather Mckye. As you can see in the picture with Trip - Stan really likes his new touque!  Warm feet and warm heads - the cold can’t touch us now! Thank you so very much. Included in the parcels was a hand drawn picture of one of my pups by Heather. Thank you Heather - I will treasure it and frame it. Kelsey says the puppy was Casey.
