Spring officially started a few days ago, and today is a beautiful affirmation: the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the crocuses are out of hiding. Too bad it’s freezing. Stella and I had still had a great walk with my mom at Trout Lake early this morning though, and afterward, we stopped…

Milk & Pepper
Recently, some friends told me about this puppy clothing brand called Milk & Pepper, based out of France (made at the Dolce & Gabbana factory, apparently). We found out that local grooming shop/pet boutique, The Pet Shop Boys, was carrying the line, so we obviously had to check it out. And today, since we were…
Driving Miss Stella
Whether she’s riding next to me in the passenger seat or being a little backseat driver, she’s the best little passenger ever. She never opposes my random, out-of-the-way cravings and detours: if I want to stop at Faubourg for a chocolate twist, that’s fine as long as she gets to pop into Simply Natural for a…
Hint of Spring
After a perfect morning at Garry Point, a light breeze and purple and yellow crocuses, it’s pretty clear that spring really is just around the corner.
Sunny with Stella
Sunny, almost-spring mornings, I think, are meant to be lazy. Today was exactly that. Warm almond milk and toast with ricotta, agave, and black pepper for breakfast, followed by a long, lazy walk with Stella. Perfect start to the weekend.
Spring’s on its way
I took Stella to The Bone & Bowl this morning, where golden doodle Archie was simultaneously parading his new toy and trying to keep it out of everyone’s reach, and where we picked up a little red polka-dotted raincoat perfect for spring. Because Stella is built the way she is, some minor alterations need to…
Colour me Happy
Earlier today some friends took us to a newly-opened pet store in Kitsilano called My Furry Friend’s Pet Store. So much colour, so much happy.
Family, friends, and food
Today was a beautiful day; the weather channel had forecasted rain, but Mother Nature clearly had other plans, so instead of a wet walk through Lynn Canyon, we took Stella to Vanier Park which has a great dog beach. Stella loves the water…but swimming isn’t quite her forte so I have to keep a pretty…
Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Hope you all had a great day with the people you love.
A Cold Day is a Good Day
Maranon, squishy-faced little bug, piping hot celeriac soup, cozy sweaters, riz au lait.
Stella in Stripes
I love stripes and polka dots, particularly on a J. Crew crewneck, but nothing makes me smile like Stella in stripes. I was running some errands a little while ago, and decided to cut through The Bay. I must have a sixth-sense or something because in spite of my never-ending to-do list and the fact…
Chilly Goodness
Today was another beautiful and atypical Vancouver winter morning, so I took Stella to Trout Lake. It’s one of her favourite places, there are lots of dogs and people to say hi to. And I love it because it’s only a few minutes from the Woodland Smokehouse & Commissary, where Peckinpah (Carolina-style barbeque) smokes their…
