Drive with Guinness

Well first we will start off with a few work things before I get into the title of the blog. We got in an adult Canada Goose in who is severely emaciated, so we have to tube the goose to slowly introduce food into the system so we don't over load him/her. Jen is tubing the goose.

Slowly putting the tube in the mouth.

Down the hatch.

All done.

Time to go back into the kennel.

Next up is the flying squirrels, I don't have the best photos once again, but I wanted to share this.
Look my eyes are opening. 2 of the 3 had their eyes open when I left on Friday afternoon!

We had a work BBQ for our interns, staff, volunteers, and board Friday night. These are the clouds that loomed over head.

And it wouldn't be a week with out another incident by me. What you might ask this time? Well it is a seal bite. We had a seal who was acting a bit lethargic and opening and closing her mouth. She would try to boo but couldn't. I was provoking her, but never expected her to turn her head and completely snap at me... silly of me to think not. I think she might have just had a bone stuck from the fish feed she got earlier.

Now for the meat of the story. I month or so ago I mentioned how my friend's dog Guinness was having some issues. Well, talking to him recently Guinness had gotten a lot better and has peaked at his recovery. He still doesn't have complete full use of his back legs but he can go for walks and get in and out of my truck pretty well through the side doors; he never will be able to jump up on the back of my truck again like he use too. I will definitely take this over anything. He was very excited to go for a car ride and to get out and play a bit when we got to where we were going. Where were we going?? Well, it is actually a sad story. I wanted to see how the south end of the island looked after a purse seiner sank last night. Here are some photos.

A commercial crab boat moves through the South Beach area.

A look toward Vancouver island, upper end of South beach/Eagle Cove area. Not all those boats are there to help clean up.. some of them are fishing boats.. makes you really wonder what you are going to eat huh?

I was shocked by the number of boats up that area.

If you look along the beach you will see part of the cabin from the Anna J.

Clear day.. I really don't see much of a slick so that makes me a bit worried about how much it dispersed.

Part of the cabin.

Looky!! Guinness, licks his mouth.

What is over there boy.

He is looking at me wondering when we are going to walk some.

Up and moving. I was soo elated!!

coming to me.

He was sniffing the air, must have been a fox near by.

Didn't like me sitting still.

Come on Penny, let's get going!!

On our drive down I ended up right in the middle of a classic sports car ride, here are a few pics I snapped out my window as the last part of them drove by me as I pulled off.

a closer view of the cabin.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and I know a few of you have been wondering how Guinness is and I hope you are as happy as I am that he is up and moving. If he tries to run he ends up bunny hopping as the rear right leg just isn't as coordinated as it use to be and about the third time in and out of my truck was a bit tough for him, so I gave him a hand. He still has his I am still young attitude (even though he really isn't) and full of life. Like I said earlier. I am soo excited with how he is compared to how I saw him after the incident.

Thanks for stopping by!
