JUDY & TYNER
IN CANADA


Maureen Scott, of AIRECANADA, writes:

AireCanada had a call Sunday from a woman who has a 10-year-old Airedale & a 14 year-old-Airedale - both females. She is no longer able to cope with them. The younger tends to run away and the older one is merely . . . old. The family is unsure what to do with these dogs. They may euthanize them although, they would surrender the younger to Rescue. They really believe the older dog should be sent over The Bridge due to her age.

The Next Day, Maureen writes:

On Monday, I went to visit the girls; I saw two very tiny Airedales who live outside. They have a unique "kennel" arrangement under the upper deck - a sort of manger with hay for bedding - and a small outer yard where they can lie in the sun or stretch their legs. Both girls were happy to accept treats although Judy, the 14-year-old girl, preferred to stay in her little "kennel" where it was slightly warmer. Tyner bounced out to visit with me, gobbled treats and danced around, clearly craving attention.

A TREAT? For ME?

Pixie


The owner invited me inside to share the dogs' papers with me. Initially, we both thought that Judy was our own Pixie's mother. The breeder had told the owner that the younger was the older dog's daughter. Closer examination of the papers indicated that the older dog was actually our Pixie's half-sister. The younger dog was from the same kennel but, otherwise, apparently unrelated.

I agreed that we would take both girls into Rescue and that we would do it by the Thursday deadline the owners specified. With a long weekend coming up, kenneling the girls was impossible to organize. All the kennels were full. The owners were unable to keep the dogs longer because they, too, were leaving town for the Easter weekend. Many people who might otherwise agree to foster these dogs were also planning a holiday trip or had masses of relatives or friends coming to visit.

Finally, our friends and AireCanada volunteers, Scott & Karen Garrett, despite having guests coming for Easter themselves, stepped forward, offering to take Tyner, the 10-year-old. Since no one seemed able to take Judy, we brought her into our own home to join the Circus for a spell.
