New event website!

Hi All!

I've been working on a bit of a side project for TG and it is finally finished! Well - finished enough to show you! Ever the perfectionist, I don't think I will ever truly be 100% satisfied - there will always be something for me to make better, update, or change!

The website is designed to help you keep track of all the fundraising opportunities Turtle Gardens is a part of! That way you'll never miss out on any of the cool stuff we do! :D I am always adding more to the site so keep an eye out for updates!

Also, I want to make sure it is as easy to use as possible for everyone, so please comment here or on the website with any questions, concerns, ideas, or suggestions you may have and I will do my best!

Thank you all and hope everyone is having a very merry christmas! :D

Davies/Shadow

Hello everyone!

I know it has been a while since my last post!

My most recent foster pups have been doing well - Casanova, Mattie, and Chuck (now Jack)!

However, one was not doing so well... Davies unfortunately passed away :( I do not know too much about the whole situation but he was struck by a car and passed away :'( I miss him and I am so sad that his life was cut so short... but the one silver lining was that he knew real love. Both with Yvette and Stan up north, and then with Jen when he came to the lower mainland and then with me as his foster until he found his forever home on the island. And then his knew dad loved him too, very much, Davies may not have been there long, but he was definitely loved. His dad texted me the day after the adoption and told me he was changing Davies' name to Shadow.
When I found out I am not ashamed to say I broke into tears and ran to my dad and when he saw my face and heard me sputter out "-Davies-" his face dropped and he asked what happened, and even my dad who has been a rock for me for my whole life teared up when he heard that happy bouncy Davies wasn't with us anymore.  I sat down with Casanova and just said "Casa... it's times like these I am happy you can't understand english..." and he just let me snuggle with him and cry it out, hopefully with no idea that his best buddy had passed. When these kinds of things happen it is very sad :'( But at least Davies is waiting at the rainbow bridge for the day he can walk across with his dad - with his muzzle scar gone and all happy and bouncy as he was.

RIP Davies
You will always be alive and well in our memories!
