A Hero
This man is my hero. Thank you Jeremy. I wanted to edit this to share with you all a coyote story of my own. Many years ago I when I had just the one dog, Briggs, we used to go to a little used field every day after work to play fetch. Briggs was not [...]
Bienvenido a casa, Food Lady!
Harumph. Some welcome. This is our car, at YVR, covered in 3 feet of snow. Since all the other cars were covered in 3 feet of snow too, it was kind of difficult to locate in the parking lot.The more observant of you may have noticed the tow truck in the background. It was there [...]
If the Mountain won’t come to Mohammad
Then Mohammad is going to load two people and five dogs into a mini van and visit the damn Mountain. Cypress Mountain I mean.Last week’s snowfall was a bait-n-switch. For two hours big happy flakes drifted slowly to earth and blanketed everything in a Christmasy fashion. I got up to use the washroom and when [...]

Yay! It’s Summer Again!
(I like to mess with my dogs’ heads) Look Tweed, it’s summer time again! “Yay! Summer! I’m goin’ swimmin’!”“Oh you f*ckin’ lying hag. It’s not summer. This shizzat is cold. As soon as my paws thaw, you’re dead meat.”“If the Food Lady says it’s summer, it must be true. BONZAI!”“Holy crap, that’s cold. Take a [...]
The Great Cookie Toss of 08
Cookie Toss causes some consternation. And requires concentration.You can just sit there with your mouth open, and wait for manna from heaven…but that can result in FAIL.See?Best to break out the acrobatics. Piper’ll show you how it’s done.Now you’re getting it Tweed.Sometimes these lessons are hard learned. You snooze, Mr. Woo, you lose.You too Tweed.Okay. [...]

This is Tweed
This is Tweed.This is Tweed now that he’s REALLY MAD!“???” Good question! I’m glad you asked! On Sunday, My Special Little Guy got his third and final Masters Standard Q to successfully complete the requirements for the title of Masters Agility Dog of Canada! This is, dear viewers, nothing short of a miracle. For starters, [...]
WIN!
I feel like I have been waiting my whole life to take this photo, and finally today I did.Bless Mr. Woo for his weird and wonderful ways. I threw no ball. I gave him no instructions. We simply were visiting MacDonald Beach today and Wootie swam out to a little clump of rocks for no [...]
Art That Barks
Looking for something to do tonight? Stop by the Heaventree Gallery at Fraser and 15th forART THAT BARKS. It’s an animal-themed art show. I’ll be stopping in (I’m not in the show). More info? Look here. Also, I’m hunting for a dog sitter over Christmas. My usual sitter is not available. If you’ve got any [...]
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Blech. It’s disgusting out – it has been peeing rain all.day.long. And it’s cold. I know, I know … I live in Vancouver. What did I think it would do mid-November? But it’s a day off for the Food Lady. She wants to flop around the house in her pajamas, not going swimming in her [...]

Howl-o-what?
The dogs don’t really ‘get’ Halloween. “Whadda ya mean ‘lame excuse for a costume’ exactly?”But hey, at least he wore them. That’s more than I can say for SOME Pipers we know.Personally, I think Mr. Woo, AKA your 9th grade French teacher, wore them quite well.The only person in the house who was really in [...]
My Dogs Are Creepy
I’m not posing them for group pictures anymore. They freak me out. They’re all Children Of The Corn and shizzat. I’m afeared!! When I saw Piper coming at me through the viewfinder, I shrieked like a little girl and ran away. I’m sure all the onlookers at Bridgeman Park thought I was mentally challenged. I [...]
ParkParkParkParkPark
My nemesis – finding a Suitable Park nearby to play in! We have found a small neighborhood park about two blocks away that is perfect for our early morning (pre-Animal Control Patrol) play, but as it’s not a dog park, I wouldn’t take my dogs there to run in the afternoons or anything. It’s perfect [...]
Introducing
Big Air Photography The official launch of my photography website. Please have a look around, and tell your friends. So this evening I am forced to admit that I am a bad, bad Food Lady. I have clearly failed to be a moral compass for young Tweed. For today, at the beach, I discovered Tweed [...]
Gorillas in the mist (?)
Leapin’ logs! That’s not a gorilla, it’s Tweed!On the weekend we drove out to MacDonald Beach and met up with Jen and Lu. “No you didn’t. You never saw me, I was hiding. I am a highly skilled operative. Go away.”But today, as promised, we went to Hole Digging Park to play some Fifa ™ [...]
People Look So Dumb in Bicycle Helmets
“What is she doing to me now? HAAAAALP!!!”Everyone looks silly in a helmet.But you should ALWAYS wear a helmet! And with winter coming, you should wear something warm on your bean under your helmet:Piper is not into cycling. She prefers to be fashionable.And she has shoulders to die for. Tweed … not so much.Mr. Woo [...]
We Are The People In Your Neighborhood
This week we are exploring the “local” dog parks to see which ones we like best. I say “local” because none of them are *really* within walking distance, the closest (and our least favourite / most likely to cause Woo to dig holes) being a 16 minute walk away (so says Google Maps). However, 16 [...]
We’re Movin’ On Up
… to the East Side. etc. We have been incommunicado for a week, blog readers, because the Food Lady has been packing, cleaning, moving and unpacking again. Last week, 3WAAW, Nutz and the Food Lady too, moved to a bigger, better apartment. I wasn’t kidding about moving to the East Side!Our new home is more [...]

A Rant and an RIP
#1. The Rant About 3 years ago or so, my dog Briggs was badly bitten by this evil dog in my neighborhood named Banner. Banner is a border collie X cattle dog, and a river runs through it – a big river of NASTY! Now, Briggsie was no saint. He had some bad attitude on [...]
