Meet Bo Peep.
She is the official mascot & office cutie at @totalcomposites in Victoria.
Katie is not sure of her age & breed but thinks she may be around 6 years old.
They have had her 3 years and she is a Mexican rescue.
What a lucky girl!
Bo Peep (‘cause she look a wee bit like a lamb) loves sleeping, walkies, laying in the sun and especially likes it when her best friend Cohen comes home from school. 🐾

The world as we know it will never be the same after today.
Such a sad day for us all.
Not just a true monarch but a true lady.
She will be missed by so many of us who loved and respected her.
Very proud to be British. 🇬🇧

Meet Fern my latest Rover Pup addition.
This is one lucky doggie!!
I met Fern in early June 4 days after she arrived to Canada as a rescue dog from Turkey.
Her dad @domash18 had pre adopted Fern and was so excited to have her at work with him at @totalcomposites
My friend Dom has given Fern the absolute best life a dog could ever imagine.
In a few weeks Dom & Fern will be relocating to the spectacular Okanagan Valley.
A place that will please Fern immensely as her favourite pastime is… swimming!
Fern is a 2 year old Flat Coated Retriever who like not only swimming but balls, camping and getting as many cuddles as she can and then giving just as many cuddles back.
Fern you are a treat and a pleasure to know and it’s been heartwarming to know you have literally landed on all 4 paws with Dom. Well done lass! 🐾

August 29th is always a sad day for us as we remember our beloved Oliver Pippin (Aug. 29. 2003 ~ April 29. 2017).
Oliver truly was one of a kind.
Super smart, precocious, cheeky, bold, adventurous & fiercely loyal.
Oliver loved life and was always up for any adventure with us.
To us he was the quintessential ‘Rover Pup’.
There isn’t a day that goes by that my heart doesn’t ache not having him in our life anymore. We miss you so much Ollie. 🐾

Happy International Dog Day! 🐾
Celebrating all dogs worldwide and remembering all the special ones I’ve had in my life ~ Jaime, Oliver, Willow, Neville, Tyler, Joshua, Gypsy Rover, Lobo & the unbelievable Captain.
However, today I am sharing 9 doggos with you that I met this year on our overland adventure into Central America.
The first 4 pics are of ‘owned’ dogs I met who left strong impressions on me and I will remember them always ~ Chase, Mandu, Blanca & Mia. The rest are street dogs I came across in El Salvador, Guatemala & Baja whom I fed, watered and made friends with.
I came so close to bringing home the #5 dog from El Salvador.
The very last photo is of a dog my fellow dog adoring friend Eleni @projetomundocao affectionately named ‘Snickers’ when we were camping together.
Snickers & I bonded instantly upon meeting and after 4 days with her I had to say goodbye. Yup, I cried a lot for for her. I just hope the guards at the gatehouse are still looking out for her.
The poor gal in pic #9 I fear is now probably gone as she was in very poor shape. I called her Angel and did what I could for her but it wasn’t enough.
Please never take your dog for granted for they are a privilege to have in your life and should never be a burden, discarded and left to wander the streets.
Now go give your very special 4 legged friend a big hug and thank them for being in your life and loving you unconditionally as only a dog can do.

We saw & did a lot of things on our recent global trek into Central America. But… we keep saying over & over that the best part was meeting the people - they were so amazing & fun!
One special chappie we met was @andresfestevez in Guatemala and had the opportunity to spend a day out Rovering with him and his Rover Pup ‘Mia’. What a day it was up Volcán Pacaya with friends, Rovers & 3 pups - fabulous!
Mia & Andreas were such a treat to meet and spend the day with and we have become friends ~ Rovers & dogs will do that!
Andreas sent me these lovely pics of his 2 Rover Pups the other day. One of gorgeous Mia with another of his Rovers as well as his Basset Hound ‘Mafa’ who unfortunately I did not get to meet. Another trip maybe Andreas? 🤗🐾

I met this sweet 8week old Pit Bull puppy yesterday at the @4wdabc Show n’ Shine.
The fellow had just got her 2 days before so she is yet unnamed.
Apparently she likes wrastling & peeing everywhere he said.
Anyhoo I got some much needed puppy cuddles in so nothing wrong with that! 😁 🐾

Isn’t this just the best Rover Pup photo ever??!!
Many thanks to my very good pal @pau_hana_overland_expedition for sending me this pic yesterday.
The 2 Rover Pups on the left are 2 of my favourite Pup pals ~ Chase & Pepper @thebestboipepper
They recently lost their pal Punky (a senior Rotti with health issues) and now… they have Rosie.
Meet Rosie ~ she’s a 2 year old Rotti (and gorgeous I might say) who has found her way into Chase & Pepper’s life as she was at risk of being ‘put down’ as her owner decided he had ‘no more use use for her’.
How could that ever be acceptable anywhere!!??
Rosie will have the very best of everything in her new life with Chase & Pepper.
Thank you Peter, Linda, Rob & Tracey for believing in Rosie!
I can’t wait to meet her.🐾

Happy National Animal Therapy Day!
I was so fortunate to have 2 fantastic dogs who were certified with the St John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program.
Willow my Husky in 2007 and Jaime my Border Collie Black Lab in 2008.
Jaime was on the job every Monday @ 10 am at a care facility in Armstrong BC until his sudden death in 2015. Jaime brought so much joy & peace to his clients in the 7 years he was a therapy dog.
I personally think dogs are amazing and have magical souls that can heal and should never be a burden to have in your life… only a privilege.
Someone once told me years ago that animals have no souls - how incredibly wrong that person is.
