At da Beach!

We went to the beach this morning!  We were the only ones there and I was King of the Beach ... not that it would be any different with other dogs.
 

The water was still a little chilly, but not cold enough to keep me out! Even Mum went in to her knees (mostly just to retrieve my ball - she's so well trained).

Running in the sand is always a good work out, and I always need a good nap when we get home.

The water was extra high today because of the spring run off. This lake is also fed by Coquitlam lake where our drinking water comes from. BC Hydro has a turbine connecting the two lakes that helps make our electricity. BC Hydro owns all the land around this lake, but they made a park that everyone can use. And they made this dog beach in the park!

This whole big area is fenced off so doggies and there people can enjoy the beach together with no complaints from the no-dog people. (Side note - never trust a person who doesn't like dogs! Especially at the beach!)

As pretty as these pictures are it is even nicer on a clear day when you can see the snow capped mountains. We are so lucky to be able to come here!

Blogoversary!

OMD! Today is my Blogoversary and I didn't even realize!!! (Thanks for reminding me Mum...not... Epic Fail!)

In honor of this special day I just want to say thank you to all my followers and readers, and all my blog friends! May we all have another year of dog blog fun!

Just call me Kevin

It's another beautiful sunny day in my little corner of the world... the second in a row! I am spending the afternoon napping on the patio soaking up the rays. I have really missed this.
I had a pretty great day yesterday too. I was HOME ALONE! I convinced Mum she doesn't need to barricade me in the kitchen when I am home alone!

View of my little creek from the bridge above.

I usually get to roam free in the house if the parental units are only going out for a short time, but it was the first time I got to spend the whole day.  I spent the work day comfortably resting in my bed, chewing my antler and watched three episodes of Dog Whisperer between naps.... those dogs have issues!.....Oh and I didn't get into any trouble! Not a single cushion out of place!

Let me go, I see something over there.

After dinner we went for a nice walk. The temperature was still 22C at 730pm! The warmest day this year. We brought my water bottle on our walk but I finished it off about two thirds of the way home. Thats when Mum decided we should take a slight detour. We stopped at a little creek that feeds into the Coquitlam river for a cool drink and a little swim.

How do you not see that?

The water here is so clean you can see every rock on the bottom. It was so refreshing! I hope our new house has a little creek near by!

You've got mail!

Remember when I won the caption contest over at Cooper and Lola's? Well my presents arrived today! It's the first time I've got a package addressed to me, I've gotten mail, but not a package. And there was a card... in a  hounds tooth pattern on the front.... so clever. BOL.

There were two bully springs chew treats, a red Martha Stewart crochet toy and a football tug rope.... oh yeah and a magazine for Mum.

I loved the red crochet toy ... but Mum says I can't play with it again until I poop out the tail and the little arm. I got a little intense... oops!

My favorite part though was the football tug. Mum took me outside to play with it and I played and played until I just couldn't play anymore! It was awesome!

Thank you so much Cooper and Lola for such an pawesome package!!

Happy Mothers Day!

I was extra good to Mum this morning.... I let her sleep until 8:30! and then I whined and pouted until she finally got the hint and we headed to the park.

Mum was trying to be artistic... I don't get it either!

I knew she could use a walk to get her Sunday morning going. And she got a great shot of a great blue heron... you're welcome Mum!

We met another woman and her dog and got to chatting. While we were chatting we heard an ambulance go by and the siren was followed by a strange barking ....coyotes! A whole pack of them! Luckily they kept their distance. Mum says the coyotes here are smaller and more timid than the coyotes in Cape Breton , where she is from, but they still aren't something you want to run into on a walk.

After our walk I was still full of energy so Mum took me to the off-leash park to play. There were a handful of dogs there but they were all getting ready to leave so I only got to play with them for a few minutes. When they were all gone I thought it would be a perfect time to give Mum her present .... I sniffed out a $10 bill!

When we got home  took a super duper sleep. Rumor has it I am getting a bath tonight .... but I am hoping if I pretend to be sleeping it wont happen. Mum usually lives by the old adage of "Let sleeping dogs lie."....both literally and otherwise.

Well, have a good day everybody. Happy Mother's day to all the Moms .... especially my G-Ma and Nonna.
