Merry Christmas and Happy Winter Solstice from the Team at SGC

From the Editor:

Well, it’s December 21 2012 and we are still here… :) the last day of the Mayan Calender is just that, the last day of that particular calendar. :) or the end of an era/age and the beginning of a new age or era… :) 

This day is also The Winter Solstice, the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year. Julie Ditta of Whole Soul is holding a Winter Solstice Celebration along with her Drum Circle this evening right here in Whitby as Ezra Anne’s B&B… The SGC team wishes you all a happy, safe and enjoyable winter… :)

Christmas Day will soon be upon us and I am getting excited, my shopping is done, just a bit more wrapping to do and some odds and sods to pick up at the grocery store…. I feel tired but happy that I am on track… :) I love Christmas, the presents, the lights, the trees, the music all of it… but most of all I love the feeling that Christmas brings, the love it spreads and the kindness it prompts from us… The celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ is for everyone, he does not belong to any sect or religion he is love and acceptance… His journey among us was to teach us the ways of love and acceptance, to show us that it is better to live and practice peace then it is to live and practice violence… :)

No matter what your religious views or following, the Team at SGC extends to everyone a very Merry Christmas... and a Happy Celebration to all who may celebrate other traditions and beliefs along with Christmas…

May the Joy, Love, Acceptance and Joy of Christmas be with you on this holiday and all through the coming year..

Update: Chelsea the missing dog from Whitby…

From the Editor: 

In January 2011 a much loved Bernese Mountain dog by the name of Chelsea decided to go exploring, but forgot to come back home… Chelsea is from Whitby, Ontario… 

Chelsea: Missing since January 2011
Chelsea: Missing since January 2011

As soon as Chelsea’s family realized that she may be lost a huge search was arranged. 

Many people volunteered their time and resources to locate Chelsea and bring her back home, but as of this date December 17 2012 Chelsea is still not home. While there have been many sightings of her in various green, wooded and sometimes back yard area’s of Whitby and Oshawa, she still alludes the searchers. 

It is comforting to know that 

The last reported sighting was on November 14th on College ave in Oshawa. It was a good sighting in that this lady was pretty close to her. She described her markings, noted that she has very little If any body fat on her, and that she looks like a dog who has been living on her own for sometime.

This means that Chelsea is still alive and that hope can continue that one day soon she will finally come back home. 

The wonderful volunteer’s in the Chelsea Search Party, while searching for Chelsea have done an amazing job of rescuing a number of “lost” pets…

As the Christmas season is upon us, and we look towards a new year, SGC would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all the volunteer’s who have in the past and those who continue to search for Chelsea, as your kindness and love of our four-legged friends has meant the rescue of the following…. 

152 dogs, cats, 3 goats. 2 cows and a few horses. J. G. 

As 2013 approaches, let’s all keep vigilant in the search for Chelsea …. :)

Thanks Volunteer’s … You Rock…
