Good morning, Trinity family... Well, I wish this was a good morning. Trinity is no longer affiliated with Crystal Waters Newfoundlands. This morning I received a call that all of the dogs at their property have been seized by Yellowstone County Animal Control and Sheriff's Department. I had NO IDEA what was going on at that property in Billings, as I live 6hrs away. I entrusted 3 of my dogs to them, and now I am trying to find out how I can get them back. I cannot speak on the investigation, but until such time as it is resolved, I must, for the sake of MY animals and MY business, cut ties with Crystal Waters. I will remain in contact with Katie and her sister, and see how things are progressing, but I have to walk away from the dog side of things. I have reached out to my vets who say they will absolutely have my back and let the authorities know that we take care of our dogs extremely well. My heart is hurting and I am praying that all dogs are ok, and will receive whatever care they need, and I pray to God that I can get MY dogs back. It sounds like I can, I just have to show all of the documentation and pictures that they are indeed mine. They are also microchipped. What a pain in the butt. Chances are good that about 45 Newfoundlands are going to be up for adoption. The sheriff sounded extremely overwhelmed. I cannot take 45 dogs. Please pray with me over this entire situation.
