Vancouver is on the edge of the Pacific, and the home of what’s left of last tempered rain forest in North America.

And the keyword is: rain. We get the rain from the mountains and from the North. We get the rain from the Pacific, eight thousand kilometres to pickup moisture and then it falls on us because of the mountains. And we …

Henry, a brindle French Bulldog, is just past a year old. He loves sticks. The bigger the stick, the better. I’m always amazed how big of a stick he can carry and run with sticks that are much bigger than him, in this case, almost a whole branch.

This dog is patiently waiting for his biscuit. He’s patient and he wants to be paid for his work. He’s laying in the middle of the stairs. That way he makes sure that nobody can pass by and forgets that he hasn’t been paid yet. “He worked hard, now pay-up.”

Lucy, the ‘destroyer’ is busy chewing on a stick she found. At the same time, she is taking a rest from running around.

Lucy will chew through everything! She’s chewed bookshelves, books, table feet… Pretty much everything that has some type of wood or paper that is not glossy. Is it for fun? Is it for boredom? Is it because of anxiety? Monika, her owner …

This is Bella, an extremely common name in the doggy world (a top 5 for female dogs). She’s wearing an handmade sweater, especially for her. Her owner, Peggy, has a friend who does a lot of knitting. This sweater is really handmade by a person with knitting needless and not a knitting machine. Peggy paid over $200 for the sweater. Even my …

Walter is just 5 month old, he needs to be on a leash. It’s not because he’s a rambunctious puppy but he seems to be banging himself into things. It turned out that eventually, he needed some eye laser surgery on both eyes.

Walter is a very nice dog. He very quickly learned to stay close to his people (Jake …
