Polar Bear Swim ~ the Thetis version...

The great polar bears of the Salish Sea rise to the challenge again to embrace the chilly Pacific waters for a splashing good time on January 1, 2017 with red hot music by Zap Mama "Souca Na Na" keeping them warm.

Recorded and produced by Matti and Kelly Bannister.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Lost & Found Pets

Yesterday espokes was able to reunite another missing pet with its owner by matching a missing and found email received simultaneously.  A most rewarding part of being an espokes volunteer.  

There is also a Pet Registry on this site, where your pet can be listed as a resource.

Another helpful way is to take a picture of your pet(s) along with all the information for contact and send it along to thetisblog.  If someone finds your pet they can contact you immediately, lessening the distress of a missing pet.

Send photos to editor@thetisblog.net for posting on both thetisblog.net and the Thetis Island Community Posts FB page.
