Living up to my kennel name...

[Glacier]

My kennel name is Wandering Spirits. This afternoon I brought home two more wandering souls. I meant to spend my lunch hour checking out the kayaking at a local lake, not far from my office. Instead, I picked up two husky crosses who were lounging on the side of the road...both males, both not neutered, wearing collars, but no id in sight. One is black and white and bi-eyed. The other is grey and white with brown eyes. The grey guy has a minor paw injury and is limping a bit. They are both just as sweet as sugar. They jumped right in my truck. The grey one sat in the front seat and pawed me every time I stopped touching him. The black one sat in the back and helped himself to a pig's ear Bandit didn't eat last time he came for a truck ride! They are currently residing in Pacer's pen. Pacer got moved to a different spot. They are very sweet and must be owned by someone. I hope they are anyway! I've called all the usual places to report such things--the shelter, animal control, the radio station, the vet clinics....Hopefully their owner will turn up.


I had to come back to work for the afternoon so I'll get some pictures of them tonight.

You have such a kinds heart....
Can't wait too see pictures of the boys!!!

[caseysmom]

A simple profile change to read 25 dogs will only take a minute or two ;)

Seriously bless you for helping them and I can't wait to see pics.

[Queen of Poop]

What would those northern doggies do without you???? Good going doggies, you found the lady with the heart of gold!!

[Ginger's Mom]

Oh those lucky boys. Little did they know when they headed out on their little adventure that they would end up at Camp Wandering Spirits. Hmm...or maybe that is where they were heading the whole time and just stopped for a rest. In any case I hope you find their home soon (although after spending some time at your place they may not want to go home). How long will you keep them if no one comes forward? Hope everything works out. Oh and give Pacer some big hugs for me when you get home for giving up his room to the visitors.

[lizbud]

I love the kennel name. :) I am glad it was you who found them. They
couldn't be in better hands. I will check back for pictures later on.

[Dorothy39]

Oh, I love your signiture, and I enjoyed reading your post.

Those dogs knew that they got into the right truck when you spotted them.


I hope they belong to an owner as who is a wonderful person, just like you.


Keep posting those "Midnight sun" pictures as well . Please update us about those beautiful dogs as well.

BRAVO!!! You are a hero!!! Really, you are a hero today!!!

[Glacier]

How long will you keep them if no one comes forward?


I'd consider listing them as fosters with the Humane Society, but they can stay if no one claims them. They'll be getting their little butts neutered in a hurry if they stay though! :D

YAY 2 new PT additions

I mean..yay you rescued two adorable sweet boys in need of a home(maybe):p :D

Cant wait for pictures they sound adorable

[BCollie_Kelly]

How kind fo you to pick them up, hopefully you can find their owner and if now... hey you get to add two beautiful boys to your pack! I can't wait to see pictures, I adore odd-eyes! :)

Hope Pacer wasn't REAL fond of that pen & house!

How soon will The Boys have Names and Tags??

Hey STUART ... Guess what!??

Hey STUART ... Guess what!??



LOL, Pacer hates that pen. He hates being in a pen period! He's only in there when no one is home to supervise his interactions with the big pack. He's been beaten up a couple times and neither of us feels like going through that again! Pacer is in a smaller pen right now. I'm sure he'll hate it just as much as the bigger pen and as much as he hates being in Sundin's pen or Goldie's pen or....any pen!

Well, I'll have to call them something if they stay more than a day or two! HEY YOU, just doesn't work for long! :p I bulk order tags with no names on them, just contact info and reward for return in big letters! No need to get special tags!

I left a message on Stuart's voice mail, just so he doesn't freak out if he beats me home tonight!

[Cinder & Smoke]

http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/rolleyes.gif

Stuart MUST be close to achieving SAINThood by now!

**Welcome HOME, New Kids!!

[Bengalz]

You are an amazing lady. Thank you for getting those boys to a safe place. How lucky they are!

Betty

P.S. Phred - you crack me up! I love how you always 'get the pulse' on every situation -- it's wunnerful!!

[zoomer]

You have such a kind heart to pick up those boys. You are truly amazing, really. Having 23 dogs and taking in 2 more? Unbeleivable.
If nobody calls to say they've found the owner or they're his/her dogs, you could try FOUND DOGS signs.
If nobody does come... will you be keeping them and adding them to your 23? :p
I hope someone claims them though, dogs like them have got to have a home and an owner who loves them.
Good luck and keep us updated!

By the way, Phred, you are crack me up!

[elizabethann]

They sound like loves. Keep us posted. You have such a kind heart. Glad you picked them up.

:)

Uhhhhhh ... Zoom ...

Maybe you haven't *noticed* ...

but I think The Boys got <scooped up> by just such a person >>> Mz Tamara,
aka "Glacier"!!

As for "the Home" ...

They just got bunks in the Yukon Hilton for Dawgz -
aka Wandering Spirits Kennels!

Those Boys never HAD it SO GOOD!

Not nessicarly(sp?) where she lives. Mushers just dispose of dogs like they are nothing.(err I guess thats not much different from here but..) I mean just cause they are nice looking and Huskies dosent mean they have a loving home. You did get sweet Buddy from a shelter hes adorable but didnt have a home.

Sorry if thats confussing lol

Phred you are one funny person!

[lute]

Glacier saves the day again! :D can't wait for pics of these sweeties.

[Glacier]

Zoomer--I hope they have a nice owner out there somewhere. I know what it's like to have a furry friend "missing" and it's not fun. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But lots of perfectly nice dogs end up homeless everywhere. Around here it's mainly husky crosses, just because that's the dominant breed in these parts. A lab or a shepherd gets adopted fast around here.

Phred...you is a funny one! Stuart is a big softie! He's brought home his share of critters too! It's not all me!!

Ok, on to the pictures....ah, maybe I"ll start new thread. I have more pictures than I first thought!

[Cinder & Smoke]

... ah, maybe I"ll start new thread.

:eek:

:mad:

Don't you DARE "start a new thread"!! :eek:

THIS One's doing just **phine**!!

That's ONE *bad habit* you've got ... starting a New Thread on the Same Subject ...

Doing that all the "old" thread gets lost in the shuffle ...

Once you START a thread, PLEASE "stick with it" ...
change or add to the Title if you must ...
but avoid (at all costs) starting a New Thread on an "old subject".

NOW ... ON with the Pictures!!

{{{Hugs}}} frum Phred

[cyber-sibes]

Gosh it doesn't take much time to get way behind on the news on PT! Welcome home, boys...I mean, enjoy your temporary stay! ;)

[gini]

soooo, they were just sitting at the side of the road huh - with their paws stuck out hoping to hitch a ride.

They SAW your truck coming!!!

You just have to be one special lady! Could you give them a snuggle from me, please?

[Glacier]

:eek:

That's JUST how it happened ...

They were Dawg Hitchin!!

:rolleyes:

Like anybody is gonna BELIEVE that!??

It's a wonder she doesn't come out from work to find two or three
Lost Dawggie Souls sitting in the truck ... *waiting* for the Bus Ride "Home"!

:p

:D

[Glacier]

Ok, reposting some of the pictures here, just so Phred doesn't get too mad at me!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/Glacier1998/Dogs%202006/strays/looker.jpg
This little guy is a mushpot. Can't get enough attention. He would like to be a lap dog! He's very sweet. If he stays his name is Bauer.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/Glacier1998/Dogs%202006/strays/hasum.jpg
This one is more aloof. He's very confident, self-assure, reminds me of Muskwa actually, without the "i am the boss of the universe" stuff! He's friendly, but not as needy as his buddy. Should he stay his name is Jack. (Let's see who gets that!)

They are definately a bonded pair, very good buddies, obviously used to sleeping and eating together. They are very cute!

[gini]

I always thought I wanted to visit BEST FRIENDS.............

but on second thought - WANDERING SPIRITS would do just fine!

I would be a gonner..................

[shais_mom]

you rock! :)
fingers crossed for whatever their future brings
:D

[RobiLee]

Those are some lucky pups to be found by you! I hope everything works out. Are the names you have given them for the main character in "24"?

[cloverfdx]

Woohooo thanks for picking the boys up Tamara :D. They look like real sweeties, and you got some lovely shots of them. Either way i hope the boys end up happy either at home or with you ;).

[Glacier]

Are the names you have given them for the main character in "24"?

Yup! The show is one of my other obsessions! I told Stuart that if we ever got another pair without names(dogs tend to show up in pairs at our place), that I was naming them after Jack Bauer! He just rolled his eyes. We are doing some work with the shelter again. I want to name the next litter of puppies after 24 characters. :p

[Cinder & Smoke]

We are doing some work with the shelter again.


Lucky for them! ;)

You and Stuart are naturals - hope you're both Appreciated this time around!

:D

[Glacier]

They have been claimed! Their very relieved owner will be coming to pick them up this afternoon! :D :D :D

[caseysmom]

Oh I am glad they have a home and are missed. Thank your for reconnecting them.

[k9krazee]

Yay! I love happy endings! :D

[Dorothy39]

Reading this thread was so much fun for me.

I am so glad you posted pictures of those two adorable dogs.


Again, a great thread to click onto!!!!!

[gini]

It just struck me that one good turn deserves another...................

You had tremendous help in finding your own dog - and now you have been able to return the favor by taking care of two dogs that sound as though they are well loved and have been missed.

Well done!!

I am glad that we at least got to meet them though!

[Queen of Poop]

I'm glad they will be going home. Their parents must have been out of their minds with worry. Thank you for being and angel and getting them back where they belong. Will be sorry to see them go though. They take really great pictures. Give them a kiss bye, bye for me.

[Jadapit]

I saw the thread with the pictures of them, they are beautiful dogs. I'm glad there owners were found. :) You are such a wonderful person for taking them in.

[buttercup132]

Aww I'm glad their owners where founnd. Guess you have to go find another pair :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

The Boys have been claimed!

:D :D :D

Well, NUTZ! :(

Those Boys looked like they were going to be a Phunn Pair to *watch*!

You might offer a lil "suggestion" to their Mom/Dad ...
tell how darn HANDY a lil engraved Dawg Tag can be in
times like this!! :rolleyes:

And tell em How Close they came to "loosing" The Boys to a GREAT new home ...

Heck, they had New Names AND reservations in Slots #24 and #25!

But hey Tamara ...

Don'cha feel REALLY *GOOD* right now!!??

:D :) :D

[Kfamr]

Can't believe I missed this thread.

Well done Tamara and Stuart! :)

I did mention that and they apparently had tags that they have lost. Their owner assured me she would get some new ones asap. My dogs loose their tags all the time--that's why I order in bulk and without names, much cheaper! Somewhere in my yard is a huge stash of little engraved silver bones!

I also threw in a little lecture about getting them neutered, which she also agreed would be a good idea!

They were very happy to see their Mom. The little grey guy is two years old and his name is Finnegan. The black boy is six and his name is Four-By.

Happy Trails to Finnegan & Four-By!!

Let's hope the Tag & Neuter lectures had an effect and bring results.

Did you find out How Far they'd come when you picked 'em up?
And any idea HOW they escaped?

Again ~ Job WELL Done!!

;)

[Alysser]

Glacier, those dogs are so lucky to have found you! You are an amazing person to take in these beautiful pups. :D They sure have it good and those boys are just ADORABLE! :) That's great that they found their old mom. She must have been very happy.

[Glacier]

:D

;)


They were about five miles from their home. There's only one road in the area, otherwise it's all forest. They probably ran alot more than five miles!

Not sure exactly how they escaped, but it sounded like she had been near their home when they saw a squirrel and took off--huskies being huskies and taking advantage of any momentary opportunity to run!

[cyber-sibes]

Good job! If they were my boys, I sure would be glad to know someone found them & they were safe & sound! Can't think of a better place for those boys to "wait" to be found!

I'll pass on a little tag-secret -- Sherman kept pulling his off when he laid on the deck - they would slip between the cracks & he'd yank up so hard, they'd pop off. So JoJoe drilled each one so it has two holoes, and I sewed them flat, right onto his collar, with heavy thread. Haven't had to go "tag searching" yet!

[finn's mom]

Aw, great names they almost had and great names they have! Especially Finnegan. ;) hee hee...glad to hear they got home safely!

[ramanth]

Bye bye Finnagan and Four-by!! I'm so glad your owners found you!

[Ginger's Mom]

I am both happy and sad. I am glad that Finnegan and Four-by are home again (thanks to Glacier), it sounds like they have a good home and are well loved. But, I am sad to hear that we won't get to see more of them. Maybe they can come visiting with Daisy. ;)

[lost_milo]

This is a great post to end my day with
You're truly a caring and kind person
I've heard many people speak about all the kind things they would love to do but to actually know that there's a kind and unselfish person like you actually doing it is beyond words. There are many dogs out there wandering and looking to find their way home. Many of them never do make it back. I wish I had someone like you here when my Milo was lost and wandering. God Bless you and thank you for helping a lost dog find his way home. You've really touch my heart with your act of kindness.
