Travel: Tofino Snapshot
Tofino snapshot – we spent a glorious long weekend in Tofino at the end of April. Beautiful hiking, delicious food, and the best company I could ask for! Check out a few photos and I’ll be sure to share more soon. Tofino Snapshot You might know we’ve been to Vancouver Island before – hiking the West Coast Trail was an epic experience – but we’ve never been to the northern part of the Pacific Rim National Park. Tofino has a laidback vibe, full of easy…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 6.0
Woof Wednesday 6.0 – time to celebrate Daphne the Afghan Hound. Nothing special other than the fact that we love this four pawed pup. One thing we used to say when we had Bella and Lily, is ‘did the hound eat’ or ‘does the hound need a foot bath’. You get the idea, we used hound instead of dog. Well, oddly Bryce and I started laughing back in December 2019 when we fell into this habit again – why, because Daphne is indeed a hound…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 5.0
It’s Woof Wednesday 5.0! We’re celebrating Daphne’s 2 year gotcha day last weekend, full of fluffy memories and fun adventures. Daphne the Afghan Hound is one sweet pup – check out her before and after photos below. Two Year Gotcha Day! We lucked out with the warmish day on Saturday, December 11 – so I could keep up my blue theme with a t-shirt and hoodie. I joked with Bryce that one year it’s going to be minus 20 or so and I’ll need to…

Photos: Daphne Turns Two
Daphne turns two – that’s right, our sweep pup Daphne is now more than 2 years old – so wild! She spent her first night at home with us in December 2019 and we have loved her ever since. Daph-Daph is full of sass, is particular about treats, and loves to run. She’s a nap-a-holic and gets two walks a day. Oh, and during these hot summer days she’s likes to hide indoors by the ac vents. Ah, just a little spoiled, yes. Okay –…

Travel: Siffleur Falls Hike
Siffleur Falls hike – this easy, yet wonderful hike is about 3.5 hours from our home. The trail is full of mountain views, fresh air and clear glacier running water. If you’re looking for a backcountry experience then give this hike a try! It’s about 1.5 hours north of Lake Louise, and about 2.5 hours east of Red Deer – on highway 11. The drive itself is beautiful, too! You know who loved this hike? Daphne! She’s a total mountain dog and loves jumping up…

Photos: Daphne Gets a Haircut
Daphne gets a haircut! Well, this is her fifth big haircut and she’ll be two in July. She’s an Afghan Hound and her hair keeps growing and growing. She’s such a pretty pup, but her long hair is a magnet for sticks (sometimes branches), dirt and all things wilderness. Back in late April she got a haircut and looks like a totally different pup – same sassiness, though – no worries there! Okay, let’s check out some before photos. Before This bed is her favourite…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 4.0
Woof Wednesday 4.0! I don’t think I’ll ever stop sharing photos of Daph-Daph here on the blog, so Woof Wednesdays are officially a thing, especially considering we’re running the fourth edition! Bella and Lily had a couple of Woof Wednesdays, too. Okay, today we’re celebrating having Daphne the Afghan Hound in our lives for one year (well, one year and 3 weeks today!) – these photos were taken on the exact same weekend one year later. She’s grown so much. Such a cutie. She was…
