Busy weekend ahead!

Today I am off to the Tri-Cities Garden Show (or something like that) in Coquitlam where a group of us have a table to promote adopting animals from rescues and shelters. Armed with pictures of the piggies, newsletters, adoption applications (though bylaws prevent people in that specific area from adopting pigs - but there could be a sponsorship of one of the sanctuary pigs), donation can etc. I get to spend the day sitting in a crowded, noisy arena. Oh joy!

Before, during, and after I am also going to be handing out and putting up posters to try to help a lost dog. Dyno is an older yellow lab who was visiting Burnaby from Williams Lake, when he escaped. He has been missing since last Sunday, and has been spotted twice in the area where the Garden Show is being held. This poor guy is no doubt terribly scared and hungry. The family is frantic with worry. If any readers live in Coquitlam, please keep an eye out for him! He apparently loves cookies and may come if some are tossed his way.
Dyno - please help him get home!!

And tomorrow, I will be heading to Surrey to officially hand Macy, Caleb's littermate, over to her new forever family!!!!! The person we met on Wednesday fell in love with her, and has completed all the necessary requirements to satisfy the rescue that she will be a great match for Macy. Macy will be going to the office with her new mom, going for daily runs and hikes in a beautiful area, and getting tons of snuggles and kisses and positive training and care. It will be a bittersweet day for the foster mom and her family, and for me - we have all grown to love that sweet girl and will miss her! But we have accomplished our goal - to find her a great home. And, sadly, there are always many more waiting for our help.
Have a great life, Macy. Congratulations, Kimberly!!!

And sometime this weekend I have to find a few hours to clean the barn, do some laundry, play with my own critters, and make up some final exams.
Time to get moving!

A BIG congratulations to Macy and her new Mom Kimberly on finding each other, especially to Kimberley, who "waited" for the "right" dog. You have found a gem! May you enjoy many years of unconditional love and companionship together. Macy-girl, your brother Caleb is watching over you. I wish for you the same rock-solid, deep love that Caleb's mom had for him...

Congratulations Macy! I'm so happy that you found just the right home to love you forever. Jean, you did a wonderful thing helping Macy find her forever home. I'm sure Caleb is looking down smiling. :)
