How to make a speedy recovery from surgery for Angel

Ever since the surgery, Angel has been more active than ever. Because there are lots of people feel bad for her, she has been staying awake most of time and expecting for unlimited amount of treats. Just couple days ago, my friend Lily boiled a whole organic chicken for Angel. And of course she ate it all. Her stomach got extremely big and finally gave up asking for more food. She is definitely not going to get that ever again cuz we all know it's not good for her to eat that much in a day. However, this is the best way to speed up the recovery from surgery for Angel. =D

Looking for a new home for Lola

One of the most lovely English bulldogs in Coal Harbour is looking for a new family. Her name is Lola. She has been our royal customer ever since we opened on Dec 17, 2007. Her owner Debbie is a wonderful lady who has been adopting lots of dogs from Mexico and Vancouver. She has been looking after her dogs very well and they are all very spoiled. The reason why Debbie is looking for a new home for Lola is because Debbie lives in an apartment and she has 5 dogs in total. Lola is the biggest out of all the dogs she adopted. Debbie would prefer to keep Lola unless she finds a very good home for her. If you are interested in taking care of this wonderful bulldog for the rest of her life, please contact me claire427@gmail.com

Stars of Vancouver

Thanks Vancouver for voting for Bark & Fitz as one of their favorite pet stores in downtown.

Henriettas

Tubby loves this new collection of the Henrietta family. Henrietta is raised on a quaint little chicken farm in America's Heartland. Henrietta showed a flair for performing at an early age. As an adult, she moved to Las Vegas with dreams of fame and fortune. She quickly took the town by storm and was cast as a genuine Vegas showgirl. During her twenty year career she danced in numerous shows and even headlined the now infamous burlesque show. Now retired, Henrietta lives a quiet life, far from the Vegas footlights, in a swanky trailer park near Fort Lauderdale. Wild Chicken.

2010 Winter Olympics

Did you have lots of fun during the winter Olympics? Tubby did. I have never seen so many people in downtown Vancouver. The best part was Canada won the most GOLD!!!!! YAY!!!!! Most people were all wearing red including Tubby. Tubby was wearing a Canadian flag which wrapped around his body.We also made Canadian flags with a paw for our window display. Ashley and Colin brought Tubby to see the torch and Tubby got so much attentions and so many people wanted to take pictures of him. However, Angel could careless about all the excitements. She would rather sit at home and read the newspaper instead.

Angel had a tumor

I noticed Angel had a small lump (about the size of dime) a few months ago. It was on the side of her stomach. It felt like a soft marble sized lump under his skin. It got bigger and smaller and sometimes it disappeared. Angel didn't mind or notice the lump and she was acting more active than ever before. So, I thought it shouldn't be a big deal and I didn't bring Angel to see Dr. Ray right away.

My mother in law noticed the lump on Monday and insisted to bring Angel to see Dr. Ray. Dr. Ray found out it was a tumor. I felt so bad I didn't bring Angel in right away. Angel had an operation the next day and Dr. Ray removed the tumor completely. However, I had to wait for a couple of days to find out the result from a lab to see if it was cancerous. It was the worst days in my life. Luckily, the surgery was a success and the test results came back with great news!

Angel is getting extra care (especially treats) from everyone till she is fully recovered. Thank you so much for everyone's concerns.

Banff, Alberta

We had four days off during the Thanksgiving long weekend and we decided to go to a place where it's suitable for both of us and the dogs. We drove for 9 hours to go to Lake Louise first for our first destination. We stayed at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. When we got there it was around 9pm and -13 degrees. Angel and Tubby really didn't like the weather when we brought them outside of our car. They were shivering. The second and third day we visited all the most popular trails, lakes and falls. Angel and Tubby both had lots of fun there cuz all the places we went to were pet friendly. We even brought them on the banff gondola. Angel was shacking the whole time in the gondola. She wasn't impressed with the ride to the top of the mountain. We are definitely going back again next summer. This is one of my favorite pet friendly vacation.
