Pupdate: I accompanied my raiser to her hairdresser as I always do. Everyone at the salon thinks I’m incredibly handsome and I always enjoy sitting nicely and receiving so many compliments! This time was a little different. When we entered I was greeted by a...

I go to the mall quite often, but today I visited the source of all excitement…Castle Royale – the indoor playground for kids. Sadly I didn’t actually go inside, but I watched the squealing, running, jumping children with mild interest and little...

Vimy was neutered on October 29th. He sailed through the surgery and though the vet advised that we should pick him up after 4:30 pm and expect a groggy doggy – I received a hilarious call at 3:15 “Vimy’s surgery went very well; he is awake and he...

Vimy has enjoyed riding the ferry to the Sunshine Coast and exploring Sechelt with us. He had a great day at the Farmer’s Market and got lots of attention and compliments. There were a surprising number of other dogs there – so it was a good chance to...

Vimy and I were walking through the woods at Cates Park (on leash). We paused to let him sniff something wonderful (isn’t everything?). His head was very near the gnarly base of a maple tree when a small chipmunk peeked around the trunk at him. He noticed the...

Vimy turned one on April 6th and celebrated in style! (see photo below). A virtual canine welcome wagon, he continues to work hard on his engage/disengage when other dogs are around. After an enthusiastic romp at the dog park, Vimy is happy to loose leash walk his way...

Vimy was ecstatic about our recent snowfall! He was practically making snow angels in the deep snow on our large back deck – twirling and leaping into the air and running circles….ploughing the powder with his snoot – pure joy – so much fun to...

Vimy enjoys going to the hairdresser with me – this month he met the salon’s resident rescue dog – a tiny chihuahua named Malcolm. Malcolm is quite territorial so he was very noisy when we showed up. Vimy seemed greatly amused by this tiny spitfire...

Vimy joined us at the movies – a VIP theatre of course!. While he didn’t enjoy the very loud previews, he eventually settled for most of ‘The Post’. Thought an aisle seat would work but his go-in eventually eased into a bit of a sprawl!...

Vimy has an excellent nose and really enjoys a good game of ‘find it’ with his kong. He has developed a strategy of combing the most likely areas of the house and finds the kong in record time. I now have to put the kong inside other objects to extend the...

Vimy has apparently entered big, energetic adolescence – he is a joy to watch in the forest as he leaps and bounds over and under and through – like he’s just realized he’s driving a Ferrari and is taking it flat out for a test drive! We are...

Halloween was a great success! We get some 300 kids at our house so it’s mayhem for a solid two hours. We optimistically set up the x-pen in our foyer so Vimy could be part of the trick or treat door action – or retreat to the rec room if he needed a...

I started the ‘leaving the house’ protocol and then remembered something I had to bring. I put my wallet and keys on the bench in the entry hall and went into the laundry room. A minute later there was Vimy offering me my wallet. I took it and thanked him...

Vimy has invented a couple of games for himself – he likes to put a chew toy into the openings of our the decorative ironwork of our patio umbrella stand and then fish it out a different way. He works it out of one space and then puts it back in to try again....

Vimy joined us for a week on Saltspring Island! Our outgoing ferry was cancelled – so it took all day to get there and Vimy was great in the car, at the various ferry terminals and during the ferry rides! He had a great time hiking trails on Saltspring and...
