Tuk Toy

 

My name is Tuk Toy aka Meiko - don't ask me how I ended up at the shelter, I am still trying to figure it out.  I remember living where there was a lot of snow.  I seem to remember the name Iqaluit.  Anyways, for some reason I couldn't stay where I was.  I had to take a trip on a plane to go to the SPCA in Gatineau.  They had room for me and felt that they could help me find a new forever home. 

The people there were very nice and took good care of me; they kept me fed and warm.

I met new friends, some furry and some people.  I had a couple of training sessions with a man named Bobbi who was teaching me some manners.  Bobbi thought that my new home would find my new manners useful.  

I saw many friends come and go with their new family.  I began to wonder if my turn was next.  I had been fixed and had all of my shots, I just needed a home now.  Finally when I began to wonder if my turn would ever come, I was put on a leash and let out into the waiting area to meet my prospective family. 

My new family thought I was pretty special, and they decided to take me home.  They gave me the new name of Tuktoyaktuk.  I am so happy to have found my new family, they love me.  They sometimes call me King Tuk Toy and I rather like that.  I didn't know how I was going to fit in because my new home had other furry friends.  We all had to have a bit of an adjustment period and I had to learn that the cats were not just visitors but family members just like myself.  Now I give the cats lots of room because I know they can be a bit testy.  My family also has two dogs that are my sisters and we get along very well.   

I am so grateful to the SPCA of Western Quebec and everyone there for helping me along the way.

Sincerely,

Tuk Toy
