Otis is an 8 years old English Bulldog. He looks the part, he’s nice and he’s just a stubborn as English Bulldogs are supposed to be. He uses his give to make himself a dead weight when he doesn’t want to move or go somewhere.

Otis is a calm and slow dog. He doesn’t walk fast, he saunters.

BTW, his …

Walter is a 3 years old French Bulldog. He never runs with a ball or without a ball or with a stick… He just never runs. My guess is because he cannot see well. He eventually had to have eye surgeries…

Somehow on that Sunday, for the first and his last time, he went running with the ball. He would run after the ball …

Merlot, the “Sausage”, aka a smooth hair Dachshund, is doing well. He’s over 10 years old but at the park he needs to be on the leash. If not, he will “escape” and run around. In spite of his age, he’s very difficult to catch back. He runs, turns on dime, and he’s so low on the ground that it’s …

I really like this house’s front door. The dog house and the small bug next to the mat.

I liked it so much that eventually, I spoke with the owner of the house. They don’t have a dog, but they have an indoor cat. They never had a dog but the dog house is to balance the Roman bust.

This is a Whippet, a curious whippet. Elsie wants to know what’s happening. She’s not sure.

• Is it dangerous?
• What’s this guy (me) doing on the ground? I’m kneeling
• What about the dog next to him? It’s my dog

BTW #1: Whippets is also the slang nitrous oxide, aka laughing gas, and it’s not always funny. Just ask Demi Moore who …

Lily is a 9 years old Boxer. She’s the boss. She runs the show.

She operates the booking and billing software of the vet place: Cambie Animal Clinic, here in Vancouver. Her typing is quite slow, it’s only one letter at a time, her biggest problem is answering the phone ;)

I’m joking, but Lily likes to jump on the chair because:

I have never heard this expression before either in French or in English.

This is a running water tray for dogs in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. This fire hydrant/water dish is at the front of a pet store that sells treats/biscuits and pets toys, mostly for dogs.

This was in June and Mont Tremblant wasn’t busy, it’s still just a ski destination, they haven’t …

Snootsy is a 15 years old ‘sausage’, aka a Dachshund.

Snootsy looks very goods for a 15 years old dog. He goes around and on occasion he still runs. We are not talking Speedy Gonzales (this is a reference to a Loony Tunes cartoon character from the 1950s), but a 15 years old dog.

Snootsy’s main problem is eating his food. If the …

When I asked about his dog being so skinny …

Harley is a big and rambunctious dog. He’s big and he knows it. He uses his size to get what he wants.

Larry, his owner actually it’s more the other way around and Larry is Harley’s property, is not allow to talk to me, because when he talks to me he can’t throw the ball.

When Harley came back …

Granville Island is one of the top touristic destination in Vancouver, BC. Before, “in the good old days”, it was mostly locals that went to Granville Island to do their grocery shopping. Nowadays, it’s mostly tourists especially in the summer.

This was in September and somebody brought their dog, went in to do some shopping. Usually most of the dogs are very unhappy, either …
