June was a very busy month. So much so, that I didn’t even remember to take more photos. We went to Pride and met lots of new people. We played with our other doggy friends, and even though we went to the lake, Toast did not like to play in the water. The upside...

It was an amazing month with a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. Toast was so curious and interested in the animals. We even ran into a working PADS dog while we were there. The rest of the month seemed a bit boring in comparison. I think Toast liked the sea lions and...

We finally got snow here after the holidays, and Toast was VERY excited about it. It’s fun watching him play and run in it. He also likes small spaces. We have a small side table made of plexiglass that he likes to curl up under. It amazes me how small of a ball...

What can one say about Toast? Such a great dog. Eager to learn. Eager to please. Loves his food. Loves his walks. Loves people. At bedtime, he charges up the steps into his kennel. Not too much exciting to report. A few nice walks along the waterfront and visits with...
