Marley and Griz

Yesterday was another disappointing day for the VIPs. The Golden Skybridge was closed due to a fire. This may have been a blessing as it was absolutely pissing it down in Golden when I woke up ready for my first breakfast, although it would have been nice to have known so I could have had…

My day started by falling off the bed, and jumping on to the VIPs bed as it was bigger. I think that set the tone for the day. We left Alberta and were heading back to British Columbia, with plenty of plans. The intention was to go via Lake Louise, but dogs were not allowed…

Well, you can imagine the hilarity this name has brought to the humans! So immature… However, today was meant to be a trip up to Jasper, the Columbia Glacier and then the Jasper Sky Tram tomorrow. But as with all well conceived plans, nature got in the way. Jasper was evacuated last night, and not…

Early start this morning setting off for Johnston Canyon and a hike to see the waterfalls and the ink pots. I was relieved to be out of the car after following someone who didn’t seem to know their car had an accelerator. The hike started with a blueberry muffin but we were soon queueing to…

After a late night trip to pick up the VIPs, I was finally allowed to go to sleep and get ready for the main part of the road trip. Here we are setting off for Tunnel Mountain. Breakfast was slightly lacking this morning, no blueberry scone 🙁 How is an Olympic athlete meant to prepare…

So, after a stop in Hope to pay homage to Rambo the chauffeur put me back in the car, poured me a bowl of dog champagne and we set off over the Coquihalla and up through Kamloops to the houseboat capital of Canada. We stopped for a night at a motel with the friendliest staff…

After a pleasant morning stroll in Sicamous, it was off to Golden; my second trip there. The drive was spectacular, Rogers Pass and so many mountains that a puppy should climb (well if there is a chair lift)! We stopped at The Taps for spot of lunch, chicken fingers were on par with Black Kettle…

Marley is setting off on another road trip, this time only as far as the Rockies. Air conditioning is on, water bowl at the ready and a box of butter tarts to eat on the way. Stopping in Sicamous tonight before meeting Sarah and Richard in Calgary.

Today I met Hank – he’s only four months old and is a little bit nervous of pretty well everything. I tried to show him that not everything in life is scary. We went in the car together, had blueberry scones at Bean on 5th and went to a Mexican!

The oldies decided to take me on a hike up Mount Gardner today. One of them is crippled with knee problems and the other is blind, so what could go wrong? Surprisingly very little! We weren’t exactly going to challenge Kilian Jornet Burgada for pace, but then let’s face it he wouldn’t keep up in…

Many moons ago, in fact many trips around the sun ago, I was brought to Bowen Island on the old water taxi from Granville Island. My recollections are a little hazy, other than throwing up on the boat 🤮. The humans tell me this is the first time I went in the water and had…

Sad day in North Vancouver today as Griz has returned to Kelowna to be with his family. Bye bye Griz, we’ll miss you 🥰 🐻🐭🐶. Marley has taken the opportunity to claim your bed!

Well to make sure I look super smart when I return to Kelowna, the humans booked me a spa day at the Chateau Fairmont (well that’s what they told me). I have my doubts as there wasn’t a room service menu. Here I am with my friend “Octopus”, I love to run around making him…

Well after a long walk on the trails this evening and a big dinner with 🍨 for dessert, it was time to relax and watch 📺 (well actually turn my back on it as there might be 100 channels, but none are worth watching).

We had the company of Tucker this morning in the garden. We got lots of treats from Aunty Fila 😋

Well, YVR might have wasted $M’s on Maximo and have it managed by morons, but we still managed to escape a little bit early on POETS day (noticeably not as early as the management did yesterday when the VP left!).

The human has taken a break from the computer and Griz is on the loose enjoying meeting new and old friends at his local 🍺 house.

We keep the human in check while he is meant to be working. When someone comes to door and rings the doorbell, we bark loudly just in case he hasn’t heard and race down the stairs to defend him.He told us the sofa reclines, but we haven’t worked out how it works (yet!).

We set off for a walk on the trails around Mahon Park, only to find we were actually heading to Black Kettle Brewing for a 🐶🍔 It can be quite tiring all this eating and the floor was hard, so Marley volunteered to be a seat 🙂

Guarding my toy box…
