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.

Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Hope you all had a great day with the people you love.

Hello 2013

And with a few wine spritzers and a fast-asleep Frenchie, we say goodbye 2012, and hello 2013! May the new year bring you all peace, joy, and realized dreams! With love, Denise & Stella
