Turtle Gardens Animal Rescue

Hello Yvette,

It was great to talk to you again and connect.

I have attached some pictures of Morice now. I have pictures of him when we first got him but they are not digital, so I can not easily send them through. {I have his adoption picture!!}

Morice was flow down in 2003 and we picked up a frightened and scared dog………..but you could never tell that now. He has become my shadow and pretty much never leaves my side ( as I write this he is beside me on the floor). Morice has become a huge part of our family.

We had a little boy in 2004 and my concern was to make sure that Morice did not become jealous of our little one, so he was always around me and Anthony. People who say that they need to get rid of their dog because of their children, really need to step back and look at what they are doing to ensure that the dog they have brought into their homes is part of the family. It takes time, patience and work… I think people tend to forget this.

We did have some concerns because of our attempt to ensure that everyone was safe, it turned out to be that Morice became very protective of Anthony and still is to a certain extent. We use to go for walks, Anthony in the stroller and Morice by my side, If anyone got to close to the stroller, as some people do when they want to see the baby, Morice would let out his warning that they were a tad bit to close. After it happened the first time, I would just warn people and they would leave us alone, Morice would be fine.

We usually have a cake on Morice’s made up Birthday in May (picture attached). Anthony believes that all Birthdays need to have hats, Morice loves the attention and I do not think he would have it any other way.

Glad to hear that you are doing well and keeping up the great work.

PS we would like to get another dog, but of course it would need to be a very young dog – puppy, and female. We have become enamored with the Husky’s, so would be looking for that mix.
I leave this with you. I know that one will come our way when it is the right time.

And Dani of the multi colored coat!

Hello Yvette!

Thanks for the email. I will send to everyone I know that loves their pets.

Dani the dog with the multi coloured coat is doing great. We have had her for a # of years now. She still has a few minor issues but overall she is one of the funniest/smartest dogs I have ever had. She loves our family and is a big part of it.

Thanks, for all you do for the underprivileged animals!
