The TG Bus was delayed with Stan’s flu and he was so very sick. 
Thanks to virus attack echinillin and vitamin C and zinc (thank you Cynda and Tom – I swear by the C and Zinc) he was feeling well enough this afternoon to attempt the TG Bus Run. The paperwork was all done, suture lines were checked for stitches, collars and leashes found (we are quite short on leashes!!!)and the 3 pups in harnesses – we started loading up!
First was Macloud – he is going to North Vancouver to meet his family.
Then Mya who will be running the beaches of Qualicum Beach – 5 acres of oceanfront with bed and breakfast guests to meet and greet – what a fabulous life for sweet Mya!
Logan will be a yuppie puppie in Kitsilano! Anne-Marie and Trevor have been very anxiously waiting for him!
Baird his look-a-like will be living in Vancouver as well! His family is donating TG Buttons and fridge magnets – How cool is that!!
Fluffy little Kyosha will be summering in Invermere and wintering in North Vancouver. Her mom has always has fluffy little eskies!! She will be a very spoilt princess!!
Trapper and Hawkeye also have two homes – weekdays in Chilliwack – weekends and summers in 70 Mile House!! The boys will have a ranch and a family as well as kids to play with and sleep with.
Teja the smart one of the mellow yellow trio will live in Abbotsford! She will have kids to play with and a doting mom. She is a sweet pup and cuddly too – a well grounded youngster.
Tina is going to Bev of Second Chances – she will find her special family and learn valuable yuppie puppie skills!
Patches the border collie is going to Bullie Buddies – a friend of Sam is fostering to adopt sweet Patches.
LB who has applications who are waiting to meet him will be going to Lisa – our foster home in Richmond where he will learn lifeskills/doggie day care/leash skills and be a valuable member of canine society. He is such a nice little dog too.
Last but not least – the two pups who are our pediatric spay neuter firsts and our cuteness factor at the Man and dog Fashion Show on the 2nd!! Frankie Blue Eyes Too and 194 his sister. Stan wanted personality plus as well as striking. So…. 194 is the personality – Frankie is the striking! Now why is she a number? Because she doesn’t have a name!! No one gave me one and I couldn’t think of one so she is #194 this year!! And for now – that is her name. maybe her foster home will have a name to suit her or maybe her new family – once she is on petfinder!!!

It certainly is quiet. The dogs always are quiet on TG Bus day. Their buddies are gone and they mourn the losses. They are sad to see them go but their turn is coming. They soon find new best buddies to romp with.
Today we has a visit from Matt and Andrea of Bright Eyes Rescue in Terrace. They have a boxer/bullmastiff mix that spent his entire 3 years in an abusive home on the end of a heavy chain. he lacks essential dog skills and did not fit into their home – he needed a safe haven with rehabilitation. That’s Turtle Gardens! We welcome – Lewis!
And last today – we have a return. Turtle Gardens always takes back our dogs no problem. Cawston’s family’s rental home was sold and the only place they could find only allowed one outside dog. The older fellow went and Cawston came back to Turtle Gardens. – Welcome big fellow! Cawston is Tao’s brother – a shepherd/sharpei with akita maybe? He is just barely 1 year old. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs. He has moved in as if TG was always his home.

Yvette, will Dave be coming over to the mid-island to bring the two dogs to Qualicum Beach and Bev, at Second Chance? I could easily meet him in either location to give him the bike. You’d then have variety for your workouts! What do you think? Also, he could give Bailey a pat ^_^

I met Stan in Vancouver this morning and picked up LB. He’s now at his first day of doggy daycare and was playing with a 4 month pup when I left. I’m looking forward to picking him up after work and meeting him properly. So far so good though.
I’m glad that Stan has a half decent day to continue his drive to the Island.

Chek TV had a great segment on the Man and Dog Fashion Show last night and this morning (I think it was on Island Thirty, but it might have been on the news), which featured a TG dog (Stella?) and mentioned TG and their dogs many times. Way to go – I hope the show is a huge fundraising success! (And maybe even nets some adoption interest too).
