I have decided that I don’t like this summer at all! It is way too hot. It does cool down – after 10 pm when the sun finally goes down. The dogs and humans are not happy campers – we are all cranky!! Our guest – Porter was a very good boy this sleepover – until last night!! The heat was just too much and the obnoxious teenager Noah got in his face once too often. So time-out. Sorry big fella – you are just too big and powerful!! He was fine after it cooled down. And Noah learned a valuable lesson as well. It was a lot of noise but no blood. He is much more respectful.

The early morning run was fairly pleasant. It was 12 above, and cool. The two victims were close by – Gressie and Kabookie. Gressie has a prospective home in North Vancouver! How cool is that!
Gressie is 36 pounds so a nice medium size. She is in good health but needs confidence building – we knew that!! But she has really proGressed!
Kabookie is also a shy guy. He weighs all of 26 pounds so smaller than Gressie more like Charlie and Curtis (he reminds me of Curtis!) He is th esame age – 10 months!! He is also healthy and ready for his own family!
Wilson and Kabookie!
Speuter is usually pound pick up day and this was no exception! Turtle Gardens welcomes a NAMELESS teenager collie/golden retriever? She is friendly, good natured and has moved in as if she has always been here. She will be an fun, active family companion.
And then I met Zena. Her friends brought her as her mom had to leave suddenly after a family breakup. Zena is a middle aged girl who adores kids! She is medium sized, gentle as can be – probably a lab mix of some kind -she sure is nice what an awesome family companion she will eb for a lucky adopter. Turtle Gardens welcomes Zena.
The two pups went in for their vet checks and vaccinations. Emily weighs in at 11 pounds at 14 weeks while Emiril weighs 16 pounds. Our vets figure they are related to Kabookie! They will be smaller dogs!
Emily’s beautiful face!

Hello Yvette,
I desperately need your advice and/or assistance finding homes for 3 cats if you have a moment. I’ve sent you an email but perhaps you haven’t received it.
Best regards

Hi Yvette
Porter reminds me of Duchess SO much. Are they from the same area? She is adjusting very well…. still a kind gentle very mellow girl who loves to sleep on the bed!!
Today is cooler down here so I hope you are getting some cool air too. See you in August.
Lori
Porter is about the same age as Duchess and he could very well be related by looks but not by temperament!!! He has a boxer type mentality – fun fun fun – go go go all day long! not mellow like Duchess. – Yvette

Oh that Porter
Glad he’s been overall much better. He’s regained alot of his dog skills lately and has just chilled out. Maybe living wiht Miss Universe Queen of Everything (goes by Sabrina for short) is teaching him a thing or two! Just a few more days bud, be a good beastie!
And thanks as always to his ever-patient vacation-mum!

Don’t ask me why but for some reason when I saw that nameless girl there the name Shelby just jumped out at me and grabbed me. So if no one else suggests anything I think Shelby suits her.

How about JOSIE for the new collie/golden retriever? She looks so sweet.
