I’m a little late for Tuesday Dooze (Mother Nature was a bit behind schedule for that). But how about an (almost) Wordless Wednesday?
My 2 guys playing in the snow…then back home for pea soup on the woodstove with toasted cheese sandwiches. I’m almost hoping the power goes out.
I can’t believe I just said that.
Does this dog know how lucky he is? If he had started his life with us as a puppy, probably not. He would have only ever known waterscapes at every turn, daily walks along the shore and the deep sense of quiet you find on a rainforest trail.
But because he came to us as a middle-aged pooch from the big city, I figure he must shake himself every now and then to make sure all of this rural tranquility isn’t just a dream.
I’m no dog whisperer — actually, it’s my four-fingered whistle that seems to get his attention most consistently — but I don’t think that even Cesar Millan could make this dog any happier. He stops to ponder and enjoy the scenery wherever we go. … Continue Reading
There’s a lot going on in that little head that we’ll never know.
I’ve said it before: this dog enjoys a view. He’ll sit for 10 or 20 minutes when he finds a spot he likes.

Dog lovers from across the Penders (all 13 square miles of them) gathered in early August to celebrate all things canine.
It was a day full of drama and beauty. Think Toddlers and Tiaras but with dogs who still look like dogs instead of 3 year olds made to resemble Anna Nicole Smith.
When you’re an island dog, your days can be a little different than those of your average canine. Take this past Sunday, for example, when the Dooze and I took the opportunity to join my husband, Howard, on a work-related afternoon jaunt over to neighbouring Saturna Island.
As some of you know, Howard is a realtor with Dockside Realty on Pender. While he spends most of his time selling property here at home, Howard spends the odd weekend afternoon at Dockside’s other office on Saturna.
Our trip started at the home office at Hope Bay, where we cast off in the office’s aluminum boat for the 20 minute ride over to Lyall Harbour.
