Hello! Kaila!

Let's go see Tubby, Angel!!

Tubby went over to my friend, Lily's place to prepare some dinner for us so I dropped him off and went back to work. Angel didn't even notice Tubby didn't come back to work with me. However, when we said let's go see Tubby, Angel was running very fast towards where Lily lives. She totally knew how to get there from work. It was so nice to see Angel is still able to run. Usually cars are her favorite transportation =)

Canada Day Parties

Dan's parents Tony and Roxanne throw this big Canada Day Party once every year. They invite all their friends and family to the party and of course Angel and Tubby are invited too. The party started at noon and that's when Angel and Tubby started swimming and hanging around the pool. I still had to work so I couldn't get there till late afternoon. They were still swimming when I got there. They seemed like they had lots of fun so I didn't want to stop them. I gave them another couple hours and it was after 5pm. I had to get them in the house cuz I could tell they really needed a break. After I gave them a bath, Angel sounded asleep right away. Tubby was still looking around and tried to get back to the pool area. We left this party around 6pm and heading to the second party.




























Our second party was at one of our best friends, Lily's new place " One Harbour Green". We were late so they already started the BBQ. The view was amazing while we were BBQ. The fireworks started at 10:30pm and Lily's place is the perfect spot for wacthing the fireworks. It's right in front of her living room. Angel was very scared when the fireworks started. It was a lot of noise but Tubby was sleeping deeply. We all had lots of fun today. We love Canada Day!

Afternoon with Penelope

One of our favorite English Bulldogs is moving to Yaletown today. It's so sad. We won't be able to see Penelope as often as before anymore. We are so glad Penelope's daddy dropped off Penelope today at Bark and Fitz so we got to spend some time with her before she moves to Yaletown. I gave Penelope a very nice Spa treatment which she kinda enjoyed. She was very busy greeting every customer who came in. She didn't even take a break the whole afternoon. I am going to miss Penelope so much. I hope I will see her soon again.

Buntzen Lake

Buntzen Lake is located in a beautiful recreation area just north of Port Moody. Although the lake is man-made and maintained by BC Hydro, the surrounding area is full of forests, nice beach areas, and many trails for hiking including the Buntzen Lake trail which loops around the lake.

There is a dog friendly beach area at Buntzen Lake. Angel and Tubby had so much fun with other dogs there. It's a very clean area. You can also BBQ there. This place is Angel and Tubby's paradise. It's 40 minutes drive from downtown Vancouver but it's totally worth it.

One Harbour Green

One Harbour Green is definitely one of the best apartments in Coal Harbour and it's my favorite. One of my best friends, Lily, is finally moving into her new apartment, One Harbour Green, at the end of July. Angel and Tubby are extremely excited about it. Lily got Angel and Tubby's approval before she purchased this apartment. It has a beautiful view and close to where we live. I am sure Angel and Tubby are going to visit Lily a lot. I love One Harbour Green.

World's Smallest Digital SLR

It is very difficult to take a good picture of Angel and Tubby when they aren't sleeping. I never thought about getting a Digital SLR Camera before because they are so big and heavy. Recently I just found this world's smallest digital SLR. It's Olympus E-420. It is small enough to fit into a purse or a jacket pocket and light enough to shoot with comfortably all day. I purchased it from future shop for only $399. The deal ended couple days ago but now it's $20 more which it's still not too bad.

Even though it's world's smallest SLR, I would still need a case for it. It fits in my purse but it's better to have a case that protects my camera. There is a store called Crumpler where sells bags including backpacks, computer and messenger bags, and accessories in gas town. It's such a cute store. There were so many different bags to choose from but I ended up buying this bag called "The Five Million Dollar Home". It comes in lots of different colors and I chose grey with red. I have only been using this bag and camera for couple days but I love them so much.

Urban Fare + Steveston Village + Beach

It felt so good to sleep in this Sunday. I woke up at 10:45am. I wanted to have Urban Fare breakfast as soon as I woke up. I asked Dan to get ready quickly cuz the breakfast ends at 11am everyday. While Dan took Angel and Tubby to do their business, I went to Urban Fare to order some delicious breakfast.

In the afternoon, we took Angel and Tubby to Steveston Village and a beach close by. It was so fun and dog friendly there. Lots of little shops everywhere. We had the best fish and chips at one of the restaurants at Steveston village. It was Angel and Tubby's first time go to a beach. Tubby didn't like the sand and the waves. But Angel loved it. She wanted us to unleash her so she could go swimming in the ocean. It was hard for her to leave the beach. It was so much fun. I am defintly going to bring my dogs to Steveston Village again.

Angel enjoyed her swim without Tubby

Swimming is Angel's favorite exercise. Due to Tubby's surgery, he isn't allowed to exercise for another week or two. So, she got to swim without Tubby this time. She enjoyed swimming so much that it took me forever to get her out of the pool. I had to give her a West Coast Canine Life Muffin to get her out. =)
