Day 315 - Week 46 BROTHERS AND SISTERS

A lot has happened since the birthday girl turned one!  We attended Khatsalano Days as BC Guide Dogs had a booth there.  Of course Eve and Purdy were hits!  It was a gorgeous day and it did get a bit hot for the pups around noon time.  Eve was sort of "off duty".  They were allowed to be very social and have people pet them.  Of course Eve was in her glory.

Last weekend we attended the BC Guide Dogs annual Summer bbq.  It was a blast.  Eve loves spending time with all her Guide dog brothers and sisters.  They are not her real brothers and sisters but she still loves them just the same.  We played musical chairs and Eve and I almost went all the way!

We've been doing some visiting and went to Dorothy's in Surrey.  She didn't really seem to mind Eve eating her lawn, pooping in her lawn and leaving her gorgeous home full of Eve's blond fur!  Dorothy, you are too kind!  We went to Whistler and had a fun time playing with Chloe.  She loves her big sister and they always have a great time together.  We've gone on many walks with Dougal lately.  Last weekend we went on our longest hike ever - 3 hours!  Ok, we did get lost but it was great exercise and a beautiful hike.

Eve did give me a big scare today!  We went to Pacific Spirit Park on West 4th.  We've been many times.  Eve loves to chase after big brother Dougal.  Well they took a left turn that was supposed to be a right and the left turn took them right on to a busy road across from the beach.  I FREAKED!  I was sure Eve was hit by a car although we hadn't heard any screeching.  After just a few minutes, Dougal came a running from the beach all wet, but were was Eve?  Well just a few seconds later she showed up looking for her big brother and ran into Ver's arms!   How they crossed that busy street, I will never know!  Perhaps Eve put her Guide Dog skills to work and sat at the curb and waited until it was safe for the two of them to cross!  Thank GOD the two dogs are safe.

I love this picture.  This is Eve and Ellen hangin' at the beach!
