Looking for the sweet lady

About 3 years ago, a very nice lady made this Christmas tree decor for Angel and Tubby. It was one of the sweetest gifts I have ever received. I love hand made gifts. They mean so much to me. I still haven't had a chance to say thanks to this wonderful lady. I am just hoping that if she sees this post in the future, she could give me a call or come to the store just so I could say thanks to her. Thanks again  :)

Wendel's Bookstore and Cafe

We just recently moved to Langley and we love it so much. Angel and Tubby get more green space to run around and there are so many dogs everywhere we go especially Walnut Grove area and Fort Langley. We discovered this great Cafe which is pet friendly and their breakfast is delicious. The service was amazing too. Wendel's Bookstore and Cafe is located in the heart of historic Fort Langley. 03-9233 Glover Road, Fort Langley, BC 604.513.2238  There is a 10k trail right by the Cafe and you can take your dogs there for a nice walk along the Fraser River.  

Ellwood Park Animal Hospital is officially open at their new location!

YAY! Ellwood Park Aniaml Hospital is officially open at their new location. The new facility is twice the size of their previous hospital. It is in the Parallel Marketplace mall currently under construction, near the Whatcom Road exit in Abbotsford. Dr Ray and his staff had spent so much time and effort in order to open this bigger facility. And it is so hard to find a vet cares about our pets as much as we do. He wanted bigger facility so he could offer better services for everyone. Now they can finally fit all the machines in there. Their phone number still stays the same which is 1-604-855-8900.

Bark&Fitz new pets

These two pigeons are the Bark and Fitz (Coal Harbour) new pets. One of their names is Pidge. We aren't sure what to name the second one yet. The reason why we decided to take care of them is because they are injured. They are both having a hard time to walk properly. Our groomer, Jennifer buys proper food for them and hopefully they will get better one day. Let's wish them the best!
