Turtle Gardens Animal Rescue

It has been raining for 3 days now complete with the red lightning icon on the weather network on my computer!! Heavy rainfall warning – no kidding – we have puddles everywhere. I mopped the common room floor 4 times yesterday trying to keep ahead of the muddy pawprints – there really should be a lino with that print! It was a toss up – keep the door open so the dogs will go outside or keep it closed to risk pee or poop on the floor. No contest really – they need to learn good potty etiquette – messy but useful! Of course we had visitors – in the rain – Dave promised to put up the shade tent for viewing convenience – I guess now that it is supposed to be sunny – he will find the time? The guys are coming out tomorrow to finish the roof and final touches to the adoption center and medical room. They will extend the roof to build a storage room for dog food and blankets/linens etc. Then we will be able to fill up our wood shed with wood – what a concept!!

How are we going to pay for this – you ask? We received a donation from Telus Employees Fund – 2008!! And a Pedigree Partner Shelter cheque! So how cool is that?? Just when it looks so darn low – donations come in to do what we have to do. We are working on the Fundraising ideas to see what we can implement – the ads on the van is a good idea! We travel the entire province of BC – that is a lot of exposure. Just need to contact the advertising departments. Keep ideas coming – we need innovative ideas that will separate money from people as painlessly as possible.

Today is spay day again. Up early, coffee ready, floor mopped up quick and then wake up Dave. First was Spot – a tiny chi mix who will live in Victoria.

Then our newest arrival Jenny – she sure looks like there may be a small paunch there so I am not taking any chances on more puppies – in she goes. Both dogs loaded very well – and soon Dave was on his way.

Our vets think Jenny is either just had pups or is pregnant. Good thing she is where she is!

Now some faces of Turtle Gardens.

Little blonde girl – she is so photogenic!! She was adopted this afternoon by a young woman in Telkwa! It was love at first sight – from the blog! Good luck little nameless one.

Puppies – also nameless. Two have inquiries – the black one has 2 (one is coming out tonight to see him – adoption won’t be until after Tuesday – neuter day for all 5!!) and one of the oversize shih tzus will be looked at tonight as well.

Our neutered Pongo!
