Hello from Canada!


Hi everyone, Really enjoying getting caught up on all the puppies, wow not so little any more! Sounds like everyone is enjoying their little raskals. It has been a slow spring here in Kelowna this year we will have one nice day then 5 days of colder weather, everyone is complaining especially my husband Andy. He was home for his 10 days off and the weather was only really nice 1 day. We have been getting a lot of walks in and found a few new trails in the mountains that we are going to check out when Andy gets home in June. One of them is a trail straight up and takes 4 hours, but must keep dogs on leash in some areas as there are drop offs along the trail and a lot of birds to distract them. (wouldn't want any of them to chase a bird off a side of a mountain!) There a 4 diffenent lakes along the way so the dogs will really enjoy a dip to cool off. I will also attach bear bells to their collars just in case there are bears in the area.

We just bought my daughter a Ferret for her birthday and the dogs and it get along surprisingly well, well Duke runs from it, but Duchess lets it crawl all over her. I am surprised as they chase marmots and have killed one before, guess they know its a pet and not prey!

Hope everyone has a great long weekend, is it a long weekend over there?, i'm not sure but have a good one anyways.
