We were lucky enough to spend Thanksgiving up on Sunshine Coast with new friends this year. There were a couple knitters in the group who helped me finish my first little project: a snood/neck-warmer for Whiskey. I just ordered some knitting needles so I can learn over the winter. Whiskey…
Whiskey makes us happy. Pure and simple. Today while we were at the park, Whiskey found a deflated ball and had a blast tossing it up and chasing it around. Puppies teach us to be happy with anything. They’re not afraid of being silly, of showing how much they love…
Over the last couple weeks we’ve been trying different options for when we’re both working during the day. We both work from 9-6 and bike to work so it’s actually 8:45-6:20 we are out of the house. At first I thought it was really expensive for dog services but over…
Little Whiskey is growing up fast and is getting a better sense of her balance, aim, and speed. Today we’ve decided to bike inside Stanley park with her on and off leash to see how she does. It’s also practice for me, since I’m just starting to learn how to…
So ever since we’ve had Moo and Whiskey, one or both of us has been off work. We’re lucky we both work as contractors and it’s easy to take time off. Last week marked the start of everyone going back to work full time and our poor pets have lost…
I’ve been waiting to hike Mt Seymour since we’ve got Whiskey. Over the last few months we’ve been slowly increasing the distance and difficulty and this one is a bit longer than she’s used to (about 4 hours return, 7km, 450m climb to the “first pump”). We always hike with…
It seems like we had a 1 week break between Whiskey getting all her baby teeth in, and then losing them for adult teeth. She’s been consistently chewing since we got her which isn’t a surprise since “they chew till two” is a Vizsla saying. She isn’t a fan of…
We play with Whiskey throughout the day, flipping her over and tumbling all around with her. The other day I saw some red spots around her arm and leg ‘pits’ and after a quick check, discovered she had picked up fleas from a dog at the park (most likely). She’s…
This is our second time meeting up with Eric and his hunting Vizsla Yoffi. Eric had suggested trying out birds with Whiskey to see if she had interest and drive. Guess what? She totally does! very interested in the pigeon sniffing out the bird launcher It was really dark so…
Whiskey is 4.5 months old now and we are increasing the length of our hikes a little. We tried Eagle Bluffs which is 8kms with a 350m incline. It has a beautiful scenic viewpoint of the whole city and is a great place to bring friends new to Vancouver. Taking it…
