Hazelton Hounds

This is Chip. He is great. He is like a little dog stuck inside of a big dog’s body. I don’t mean that he is yappy or snappy or annoying but that he leaps and jumps and plays like a puppy and has no idea just how big he is. He knocks over beer, bumps into furniture and steps on your feet but is so nice and so cute and so sweet and has a pretty groovy owner too. And Mia is Chip’s partner in crime. She is funny and sweet and silly and loves her Papa so much. She likes to play and has some really stinky farts (unless it was Mike trying to cover up his own stinky butt). I mean look at that wiggly little tail. How can you not love her?

What a great ski!!!

I had a great day. I got to go skiing with 5 dogs and 5 people. It was so great.

Then we ran into Heather on the lake with her three dogs and the chaos erupted. It was so great.

Toby Misses Mom

Toby suffers from separation anxiety. She is my roommate’s dog and Leah, my roommate, is in Vancouver for a week and a half visiting her sisters. Toby is upset. When Toby is upset she likes to chew things. Yesterday while I was at work she decided to take her anxieties out on my bras. She chewed up every single one of them except for the one I was wearing.
Although I am very upset with this little dog I also understand where she is coming from. Life can be really upsetting sometimes which causes some of us to be destructive. I myself tend to get self-destructive when I am really upset.

A Sad Story

Yael Wand is a wonderful musician. She recently put out her second album and has been touring the province of British Columbia with amazing cellist, Christina Zaenker. Yael’s husband Jason flew down south to Vancouver to join the tour and accompany Yael on the epic drive back up north to Smithers. While they are both away I am taking care of their dog Story. Story has recently had a bout of bad luck. She fell out of the back of a truck and broke her back left leg. A metal plate was implanted to hold the bone together but it pulled away and made everything more uncomfortable. Now she has some strange sort of contraption on the outside of her skin making her look like a crazy cyber-dog. She has finally settled and is laying down and sleeping a lot but earlier she was pacing and panting and standing and staring at the floor. She keeps trying to worm her way behind furniture but she cannot turn around and she keeps getting the metal contraption caught on things. I will hear a shuffling, scuffling sound and find her stuck behind the couch. I have to go and move the furniture so that she can get out and then try to move it back in a way that she cannot get behind it. Poor Story. Yael and Jason should get home some time today.
