A Long Awaited Update - I Have Been Busy!

Where shall I start . . .

Spring on the West Coast was wet and cool.  Everyone knows that I am cool but I don't like to be wet!

Sigh!

 Good news . . . it didn't last forever.  Enjoy some photos of yours truly hangin' in my dog park 'hood.

Awww come on - throw it!

Ha!  It's mine now!

Can't catch me!!!

MMMMM - now what should we do?

So, like moo . . .

Nothing like an after grazing stick!

Sometimes, all that play makes an Irish fella want a little down time.

Do these pillows make my butt look fat?

Solved!

Dad singing me to sleep.

It worked.

As you may or may not know, the guys had to go over to Scotland for the second time this year.  Last time, I was looked after by my groomer (Bark Avenue - awesome).  This time, I went for a week long pool party at Jennie's house.  Her good friend Wendy looked after us very well.

Time for play . . .

Time for socializing . . .

Time for sharing . . .

Time for relaxing . . .

. . . and me time!

 When we all finally got home, I was making sure that neither crate nor bed was going anywhere for awhile.

Well I was wrong - but gladly so.  Soon we were off to my favourite holiday destination ----- Victoria.  Cousin Alison came with us.  She is fun to have around - and enjoys me waking her up in the morning.

A stroll on the beach

A free snack at a market in James Bay

where I got to try on some jewelery (NOT my choice!!)

Looking out at the harbour

My view (if I turned around of course)

Relaxing on my own bed

Shmoozing with my fans

All clear on the southern front -- captain!

At the BC Parliament Buildings (otherwise known as the BC Legistlature)

And so we head back home

Now to today . . . 

As you can see ------ I needed a hair trim, to say the least:

The scruffy look

I may not have enjoyed it (yeah, I am talking to you!)

But I look damn fine!

OK now we are up to date.  Hopefully it won't be so long between updates from now on.  But that is kind of out of my paws. 

Video of my trip to Victoria

Here I am walking down Douglas Street

. . . walking through Beacon Hill Park

. . . rock climbing

. . . strolling along the sea

. . . the day ends with me getting stung! You can see at the end of the video me jumping with my rear paw in the air. I ended up with the guys taking me to a very nice vet clinic. I was examined and declared in good health but was given two shots, some pills to take at home and sent on my way. The guys and I wish that Dr. Nigel practised closer to my home. I really like him.

Trip To Victoria

Yes I know, it has been a long time since I have posted anything. Yes, life was that boring --- the guys go away to the UK and Ireland and leave me home. But they redeemed themselves with a trip to Victoria. It was a great trip. I got to stay in a fancy hotel - The Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort and Spa. Yes they let dogs stay there but we are not allowed in the spa!

I wandered the mean streets of Victoria for two days. I spent time wading in the ocean, eating ice cream, watching people walk by, chased a few crows, and I was even able to go into a few stores!

The guys took a number of photos - too many to upload to the blog but I hear you can see them here.
