The TG Bus #1 is finally home - at 2 pm this afternoon. Dave had to pull over and sleep just outside of Quesnel at a small place called Cinema. I knew that because they have a “Spot” which is a personal GPS Tracker that Dave gave us for Christmas. It lets us know where the TG Bus is on the road. I just log on the computer, find the website and track the TG Bus. It is pretty cool. So I knew at 5am that they had stopped and where they stopped. I followed them until Broman Lake and made them a pot of coffee which was freshly brewed when they drove into the yard. Now that is very useful.

They stayed an extra day as the van needed new brakes. Thank you Carol for taking care of my guys. They used Carol’s garage at Saints and she rewarded them with dinner at Rocko’s. Then they filled it with dog food from Vancouver Animal Shelter – again a very big THANK YOU. Then the keys were somehow locked in Terry’s car (my nephew lent them his car for the trip down – so both had to drive back) It took a while before a hanger dislodged the lock but soon all was done and the guys left for home.

They have now gone to Houston to buy propane – I am down to the last quarter bottle. And oh joy – they are buying chimney for the woodstove in here as well. The weather network is talking about a small warmer spell – one day of -4 or so then -35 to -40 by Wednesday. I really feel like running away from home until it warms up again. If you see a crazy lady with a bunch of dogs walking down the highway – it will be me looking for “down under” It is summer there.

All the new dogs are adapting well. The little terrier mom and pup really like Dave – of course. He really likes small dogs too. They rushed up to meet him greeting him like an old friend. They were jumping and yapping in glee. Their former owner must have been an older fella like Dave!! So who dumped these little ones? They are awful cute for fluffy, fuzzy terrier types. Now they just need names as do the big puppies. At least the phone has stopped ringing today. So far. Maybe a reprieve of sorts. The fluffys from Tachet have not arrived yet. I imagine it will be tomorrow – going to town day for a lot of people. It has given me time to set up a spot for them. Sometimes it takes time to get here.

And TG welcomes Diggy. His name is actually Kaos but his nickname was Diggy which suits him so much better. He is a great Pyrenees/karelian bear dog. Both parents were purebred. His former owner paid big bucks for him (designer breed but still a mutt) then life threw her curves and she couldn’t keep him. Luckily for her a longtime supporter of TG called me on her behalf as we rarely take owner surrenders. TG welcomes Digger - a big goofy lug of a gentle boy. He is great with kids, cats and other dogs. What a treasure he will be.

Diggy really like Margo!
