Weeeee’re back!  We’ve returned from our family road trip to beautiful Penticton, BC this past weekend and we had a blast!  We spent most of the day Friday soaking up the sun at Okanagan Lake in the newly fenced in and designated off-leash doggie beach with Oliver and Winston.  Oliver was happy to be free to swim without the burden of his leash and really enjoyed fetching his floating orange chew toy.  It was Winston’s first beach experience and we weren’t sure what to expect.  He was quick to chase after Ollie, even into the water, until he realized he could no longer touch the bottom.  Though his rear end sank like a brick, his doggie instincts prompted …

my little brother winston and i are getting ready to go on vacation. mama and dad are going to las vegas to get married and the entire family and their close friends will be there. but do we get to go? of course not! but that’s ok, mama told us all about the doggie resort that we’re going to instead. she says we’ll have a room together with our own separate beds and that we’ll get to play with lots of other doggies. she warned us that we better be good or else they’ll know, because our room is equipped with webcams and they can check in on us anytime. …

Wow, we’re down to a mere 2 weeks until our upcoming Viva Las Vegas Wedding Extravaganza! I just recently updated a few details on our wedding page about our plans during the day on the Saturday we’re there: we are renting a car (along with a few other people who are renting vehicles) and going to drive out to the Hoover Dam and the west side of the Grand Canyon for the afternoon since they’re not too far. And we’re not renting just any car…we’ve booked a Lotus from Dream Car Rentals! While it’s not a Neon SRT-4 (*swoon*), it’ll still be a fun and memorable drive nonetheless. If you’re one …

Today is my one year anniversary being an official Canadian Permanent Resident! And as of June 6, I will have lived here for two full years :) That’s a lot of maple syrup and igloos, eh? I’ve loved every minute of it.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous long weekend. :)  Only 33 days until the wedding!  Are YOU ready for Vegas?

i’m new to this whole blogging thing, but oliver tells me that it’s a piece of cake. he says the hardest part is finding time to sneak onto the computer when mama and dad are gone. thankfully oliver is a great big brother and has helped me out of my crate while the parental units are away today so i can try my paw at composing my very first blog entry. not bad for a 13 week old puppy, huh?
i guess i start by updating the world with what’s been going on in our happy little family lately. well, i got to meet my grandma for the first time last week. …
