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.

I feel like I came back home today.
We are back in Guatemala south of Antigua at Valhalla Macadamia Nut Farm. Camping on site till next week.
I am surrounded by pals I met here towards the end of February when we camped over.
When we arrived today we were greeted by Jago, Mack, Jackie Chan & wee Barney with Chase soon finding us and then Blanca came.
The world is rotating correctly for me once again! 🐶
Pic is of Chase (my fave) who is magnificent and reminds me of our Jaime (now passed).
There are 8 rescue dogs living a wonderful life here at Valhalla.
Dogs make everything right and… tea. Gotta have tea! Oh… and Land Rovers!

We fed 8 street dogs & 3 cats during our time in El Salvador. At our camp at Rafael’s above the Rio Lempa 2 doggies came in mid evening to see us. They were both very timid but soon tucked into a good meal each and clean water to drink.
In the morning this chappie wandered into our camp area. I wondered if the dog word on the street was that if you go visit a funny looking green truck up on the hill a nice lady will give you something to eat.
This one had really been thru the wars and had some really big old scars on his back on haunches. He was ever so friendly and tucked into the hearty breakfast I offered him and then showered me with cuddles after. Lovely lovely dog!
If I could have I would have, but alas we cannot travel with a doggie. 😔 🐾

Meet some of the great dogs we met while camping at Valhalla Macadamia Nut Farm in Guatemala. There are 8 dogs living a happy wonderful life there. So nice to see. The 3 black ones are Chase (he was so awesome & reminded me me of an extra large chunky version of our Jaime), Mack who had a dodgy left ear and Blanca who was so sweet & lovely. These 3 visited our camp in the macadamia trees stayed and then guarded us all night. We were greeted with smiles & wagging tails in the morning. I managed to get pic of Jago who is an elderly chap at 12 and kinda does his own thing. It was an absolute treat at the farm and meeting these lucky pups. Chase I’m really gonna miss you! 🐾
