A very busy day

August 26, 2014

This week I’m off work, and I’m really looking forward to relaxing at home with the pets.  Since we don’t own a car, we decided to rent from a car share a couple times this week to get out of the city. Today we tried out Jug Island in Coquitlam.…

August 25, 2014

We just got back from a pet-event (is that even a word?) called Petapalooza and had a marvelous time. Dogs of every size, shape and color were out and the exhibitors were generous and informative.  We went to almost all the booths and I think Whiskey is all snacked out by…

Vancouver Vizsla meetup

August 11, 2014

Today Vancouver had its quarterly meetup at Spanish Banks.  This is one of the reasons why I really wanted a Vizsla -the community is exceptional and everyone that owns one of these beautiful dogs is so proud and happy to meet others.  It’s a rare time for the dogs to…

Sniff training

August 8, 2014

I’m always searching for more ways to keep my little one out of trouble.  She has a super short attention span for games like fetch or simple training exercises but still has loads of energy to burn off.  I wish we could spend all day in the park, but alas…not…
