Exponential Mad Teeth ™

I swear he was full size when we started out. He seems to have shrunk. Repeated washings? THIS IS NOT SUMMER!!I don’t get it. What did we do wrong? Where did summer go? Rain or no rain, we go to the beach. And ladies and gentlemen, we had Mad Teeth ™ in spades today. There [...]


Up Yours, Summer!!

Tell Us About The Magic, Food Lady

WOO IS MAGIC “Its the call of sea and shore;its the tang of bog and peat,And the scent of briar and Myrtle that puts magic in our feet.” For starters, Woo can levitate.But you knew that, because he does it all the time.

One offs

Today, my first full day in the office, the sun came out a blazin’ and stayed there all damn day. I told you, weather hates me. I hear it’s supposed to wander off again, to whatever magical land it goes to that is so much better than Vancouver, so we hurried off to Kits Dog [...]


Sneaking Into Sunshine

Where is summer? I can’t find. Every day we wait until we see a hint of sun and then we rush to the beach to try and catch it while it lasts. It was gloomy all day today but the sun graced us with its presence for about an hour, so we headed out to [...]

Get your nose out of there, Mr. Woo!!

Okay, so I forgot a beach. Spanish Banks. Or maybe it’s called Jericho. I can’t remember. It’s fun because when the tide goes out it goes waaaaay out and you can walk forever. We missed that bit, because I’m lazy and couldn’t get out of the house today. And when it starts to come in, [...]

Old Stomping Grounds

Having sampled many of Vancouver’s Dog Beaches this past week, we’ve come home to roost where we know best – Kits Dog Beach. It maybe get a bit too crowded sometimes, and no one can explain to me why people feel the need to fly kites in the dog area more or less constantly, but [...]
