Hello, bonjour. This is Vegas the Goldendoodle, though I prefer Vegas the Princess. It is day 73 of the pandemic, or as it should be called, day 73 of retraining my humans. I will not lie to you, they are … Continue reading

Day 71 of our Covid19 Journey: It’s getting more acceptable to go out, but what do you find when you go out? In BC, the Aquabus and False Creek Ferries resumed service today. I don’t know how many people were … Continue reading
