Welc🦉me home my friend
Welc🦉me home beautiful one!
Just a little under a month ago, this magnificent bird failed to navigate the bottom strand of the barbed wire fence. 😢 After a very short time, we realized we are cutting that strand to free him/her. Having had to cut on both sides of the entangled barb, there was a piece that needed to be removed and that was way out of our league. A call to Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society and this one was headed in for help!
Yesterday we got a call asking if we would like to be present for its release!
“Hell yall!!”
Today, we got to witness a once in a lifetime (for me) release. Within 100 feet of where it met the fence on Dec 29, twenty nine days later this beautiful snowy owl is back. 😍

When you’ve been asked not to feed a stray dog so they will be enticed to go into a trap 😞 It added an extra day to my stay for her
(That white paper dish contains kibble. She wasn’t even interested)

My hope, you NEVER have to have the feeling of helplessness I had for this gentle giant

Red Momma
SEPTEMBER 15, 2023
So many people have been spotting, supporting, wishing, praying and quite possibly feeding this girl, I have come to see as an ‘eclipse’
This Red Momma shows ‘classic’ signs of having been bred and possibly overbred, puppies for profit and when these despicable person(s) were done with her, she was discarded like trash! They no longer ‘needed’ her. Maybe being ‘overbred’ her last litter did not survive?! We may never know! But what we do know, we will NOT GIVE UP on our efforts to give her a better life!
After being scared from the last setup location, making her way to yet another property, we are set and ready for her. But it took 4.5 days to return.
She noticed change! And we noticed that she noticed change. After all, her breed is known for that nose!
It’s been a long 10 days since I first got here and even longer for her team that was out there before me!
Mother Nature has landed so many others of her own out here and it’s a process to manipulate, to provide enough food so that when she returns, there’s some for her.
I question, is she finding food elsewhere, enough to sustain life in those absent (from our location) days?
We choose not to disclose where she’s ‘landing’ in concerns that an influx of people may push her out of the area, leaving us to have to find her again.
PLEASE please help us, help her! IF you spot her in your travels, do not engage with her. Do not leave any food/treats on the ground. Doing so, is counterproductive. If you know of anyone feeding her, please help us make contact so we can work together as a team to bring this girl to a safe catch. Winter is right around the corner!

THANK YOU!
I’m coming for you buddy…
That smile! 😍 That bum wiggle 😍
Wish there was a way to truly share this feeling!
(Not the best video (I’ll stick to catching them and let the pros do the videos) as we were getting devoured by misquotes! Everyone except Nic, she was just glad we were all there to take the bites for the team 🙄)
O Pino!
Life on the street is ruff! (🙄)
It’s been a looooong couple of days but progress is in the making!! ❤️
Stay safe baby girl!, we need you home!
(THANK YOU for the video Nic! You!! both ROCK MY WORLD! 😘)

Sound up! 💗

More to come,…. after some sleep 💤
Part two of our cat rescue
I could have watched all day, as they kept coming 😭 but had to get set up to catch the boys!
Meet Skye
(Formerly Gloria)
(Part 3)
This girl! She missed NOTHING!! Unlike me 🤦🏼♀️ who missed her checking specific things! (In my defence, I needed both hands ready in case it was ‘now’ to close the door on her!)(at minus 28 that morning, it was too cold for the battery for the door so it would have to be manually closed if opportunity arose)
And don’t be fooled, she wasn’t getting ‘braver’, she was getting hungry (💔)

Often, people tell me how ‘fast’ or how ‘smart’ their dogs are. It’s the challenges ‘they’ face when they are trying to catch a dog!
This girl!! ranks to the top of one of the SMARTEST dogs I’ve been involved with! I had to ‘outsmart’ her! She missed NOTHING!
Meet Skye everyone

Just getting her acclimated to her ‘new’ trap’
I swear she thought it was going to gobble her up whole
A beautiful day in British Columbia
