Meet Moose!
Moose is a 3 and a half year old St Bernard who is just a huge pupper!
We first met Moose in camp on Lake Laberge in the Yukon on our Brie’s 1st birthday on Aug 2nd.
We met Moose & his dad Ian again a few days ago in Glennallen, Alaska where they are currently staying at an auto repair shop there as they had some serious truck & camper issues happen en route.
Before that they were living in Watson Lake in the Yukon.
Moose likes sleeping, snuggling & apparently… farting.
Not sure is what order. 🐾

I ran into my friend Chloe the Australian Labradoodle today.
Been awhile since I last saw this gorgeous gal.
What a super treat it was to run into Chloe and her peeps @discostew1968 today.

This sweet gal is now an amazing 13 yrs old and she looks great and is very lively. Some of Chloe’s favourite things to do are walkies, sleeping, chasing ducks and I’m told she is the ‘keeper of the door’.

Meet Brie!
I finally have my own Rover Pup again!
Her name is like the cheese as she came from @tripleislandfarms east of Lumby in BC’s Interior.
I just could not do it anymore, live my life without a dog beside me.
It’s been 5 & a half years since Oliver passed and 7 years since Jaime’s death and I have been miserable!
When we decided to ‘go global’ we agreed after Oliver we would not travel internationally with a dog.
Well… now we have Brie and she is the most amazing, smart, affectionate & adorable little creature you could imagine. We both bonded instantly with her like it was meant to be.
We couldn’t believe it when we pulled into @tripleislandfarms yesterday morning because we have stopped and bought cheese dozens of times from them. The make the best Gouda!!
Our Oliver & Jaime loved it when we would stop there for cheese.
Oh… by the way Brie is a 5 mth old purebred Blue Heeler and will become ‘Brie the Adventure Dog’ who just might be dipping her 🐾 in the Arctic Ocean this summer.
Stay tuned for Brie’s own Instagram page coming soon.

Meet my friend Franny Mae.
Clearly Franny was not very impressed with being the center of attention and posing for pics today.
That being said we had an amazing visit with her and her peeps our good friends Derek & Teresa today.
Franny is about 9 or 10 now and is a ‘Mexican Special’ rescue that Derek & Teresa adopted in 2016.
This very lucky lass totally loves car rides, walkies, snackies and trips up to the Cariboo to her cabin on Lac La Hache.
Thank you so much for the visit today Franny, we must do it again soon!
Note: the jacket Franny is wearing was our Oliver’s when he was as young (no pics). I gave it to Franny around 2018.
Previously it was also worn on 2 occasions by our Jaime in 2007 when he was 11 weeks old for a total of 10 minutes combined. Our Jaime refused to wear dog clothes right from the start and would wiggle out in about 5 minutes. 😂
As a certified therapy dog with St John Ambulance he was required to wear the traditional SJA neck scarf. He would, but that was it.

Meet Barbara & Sophie, Deleine & Selyca and Tanya & Whiskey - 3 members of the St John Ambulance Therapy Dog program in Abbotsford. @stjohnambulancebc
What a delight it was to meet the 6 of them this morning at the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Abbotsford helping in representing the St John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program.
Those of you who really know me will know I was very involved with the St John Ambulance Therapy Dog program when I lived in Vernon.
First with my Willow (Husky) and then with Jaime (Border Collie x Black Lab). Jaime was awarded with bronze, silver & gold medals for his 7 years on the job as a certified therapy dog at Pleasant Valley Manor in Armstrong.
Myself, I was awarded with the St John Order of Priory certificate for 9 years of dedicated service to the Therapy Dog Program.
This program is invaluable on so many levels to people needing comfort & support that sometimes only a dog can give. 🐾
