What the heck is a Potcake?
Congratulations to Seth from the USA for winning this weeks Lawttery of Attraction.
Mark from the USA was the winner while I was away on January 21st.
———————————————————–
As a family we had agreed that we would look into adopting a dog when we returned home from vacation.
Well The Universe must have thought we meant immediately after the vacation.
You see the first day we were down there Debbie had heard from our friend that there is this great adoption agency for stray dogs. They have a fantastic system where they find these dogs. Vaccinate them. Then have all the proper paperwork and couriers to send these amazing animals all over North America.
Then the next day while I was doing some errands I ran into Heather who is the chairperson for www.potcakefoundation.com . We had a great chat and she related some of the amazing qualities about these dogs.
Well I knew the jig was up. There was too much synchronicity going on. I knew there would be an extra family member coming home on the plane with us.
The next day I was sick but the rest of the family went to the Foster Mom Barb`s house  to meet the newest Slocombe. The kids played with this puppy that had been found wandering only the day before.Â
Then my family went down to the TCSPCA to meet Susan. Susan runs the SPCA there along with a volunteer vet and foster families that deworm, vaccinate, parvo test, bath the puppy, do the paperwork, well you get the picture. It was amazing and EASY experience. Susan, Barb and crew made it super easy. Thanks for the trust.Â
After agreeing on which dog they wanted. The paper work started and I got to meet the potcake at the airport as we were leaving.
Everybody meet Provo.

We named him Provo because that was the island that we went to in Turks and Caicos, Provodenciales.
We would like to thank Susan from the http://tcspca.tc/ and Foster Mom Barb.
So now that you have met a potcake I bet you are still wondering why are they called potcakes.
Here’s a definition: “Potcake” is the term for the thick, leftover food that remains in the bottomof a pot of peas ‘n rice after several reheatings. Traditionallythis potcake was fed to the oudoor indigigenous dogs that freely populated the Carribean. Hence the dogs have come to be known as Potcakes.
I know my family will never forget this vacation. And I hope Seth from the USA will never forget winning The Lawttery of Attraction. Congratulations Seth.
Learning…Enjoying…Sharing

P.S. In the past when Debbie was talking about our new dog. She would always say that she would want such a mixed breed that you would never be able to identify it. Well The Universe listened. We think Provo is a cross between a shephard, the fur and tail of a chow, a pot belly pig and a Tasmanian Devil. So be careful what you wish for.

P.P.P.S. Hey, if you want your own potcake but don`t plan on going to Turks and Caicos then contact Susan at http://tcspca.tc/ and she will get the ball rolling.
P.P.P.P.S. By the way the water in Turks and Caicos is beautiful and we are grateful for our time on the island.
