Hangin' at the beach

The other day when Christine came home, we all packed up into the Rover and went for another car ride to the beach! However, this time instead of just a short visit where Christine and Richie stand on the shore and watch me swim, they laid out beach towels and sat down for a while.

I ran around the beach like a crazy puppy, and went to see everyone on the beach. I made sure that I did this just after I came out from a swim, so that I would be able to share the wonderful ocean water with them - how refreshing! Being at the beach also did not change my habit of sitting on people's feet and leaning against their legs - for some reason, people did not want me to do that to them here.

When I wasn't running around or swimming, I was digging! I dug a great big hole right between Richie and Christine - it was so big she almost fell in! After a while, Paisley came over and helped me dig, but then she ruined it by lying in the hole. Poo.

Paisley had a good time at the beach, but did not swim as much. Perhaps it was because she's had a sore leg for a while, and might not have wanted to go swimming with me.

A summertime treat

Here's a fun treat that Paisley and I get sometimes. It only happens in the summer for some reason. It's something yummy called "corn-on-the-cob". Whatever they call it, we love it!

Road trip!

This past weekend, we loaded up the Rover with some stuff, and we jumped in the back and we went to a new place called Whistler.

We stopped first at a new place and dropped off our stuff and Paisley and I had our dinner. Then we walked into "the village" - what a fun place! Everywhere we went, there were other doggies, and I think the humans thought we were some sort of celebrities or something.

Tourists gather around and take pictures - notice the baby being led up to greet us!

We even ran into our neighbours Heather and Brian in the village, but Tyson wasn't there for some reason. We sat down by a bench while Christine and Richie had lunch with them, and every few minutes a circle of humans would form around us, and they would take pictures and pet us. They would take their small humans and pose them beside us and get them to touch our fur. We went on many walks around the village, and would hop in a creek at every opportunity for a drink and to cool off our paws.

One evening, we got taken to another place where our friends Brenda, Jeff, Ellie and Lily the dog were staying. They all left for the evening and left us dogs inside. I tried to find a stuffy to chew on, but apparently all of Ellie's toys had been put away so that I wouldn't destroy them. The next day we went to the village again to meet them, and we sat outside another place called the Dubh Linn Gate while they all had breakfast. While we were there, we met another Berner puppy!

Then on our way home, we went to a place called "Whistler Olympic Park". It was up in the mountains, and Richie and Christine saw TONS of bear poop on the side of the road. Then they saw a big black bear on the side of the road! Unfortunately, we didn't see him, as we were sleeping in the back of the Rover.

What a fun weekend... I hope we go again sometime!
