Bury? Or not to bury?

It's a love-hate relationship with the toy ball. One minute she wants to bury it and the next, she seems to change her mind and wants it back!

Holes everywhere

Bailey and I spent most of our time hanging out at McDonald beach where we swam in the water, dug holes in the sand and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I've now discovered that Bailey will only start to swim once I've walked into the water with her. So I wonder if she thinks I'm like her...

Bailey's newest game is dig a hole!! The thing is, she won't just dig a random hole in the sand... no, there must be a ball present for her to dig around and this ball must be a toy that she really really likes. Sadly, I think she may have buried the ball somewhere on the beach because by the end of the day she was searching franticly along the water bank looking for her dearest toy ball.

She must really enjoy digging now because when we found an area on the beach just for the two of us with sand untouched, Bailey had dug at least 6 holes... All holes were as deep as the height of her front leg!

No, the picture above was not photo shopped. Bailey really had dug a hole that deep...

"I think I see Switzerland!!!!"

Bobbing For Apples

The title says it all...

Hockey Fever

"Who are these Canucks? I don't like them, they make you scream and it hurts my ears!"

As the playoffs start, we've noticed that Bailey dislikes the loud noises we make as we're watching our exciting game. To her dismay, I took her over to my sister's apartment to watch a game and the farthest part of the place was the shower... Poor baby, I won't be doing that to her anymore!!

Morning Closeup

So I got this new app for my phone and it has encouraged me to take more photos than before (for those of you who are interested, it's called Instagram!)! I absolutely love the filters they offer and Bailey is the best model I've encountered so far.

I envy the fact that she can wake up in the morning looking so cute.

Caught

One afternoon, as I walked through the door, I witnessed a sight that I have seen many times before. Only, that was three years ago... Bailey had found something within her reach and had destroyed it. Her signature is to leave all the evidence scattered around the room. Usually her targets are napkins, but this time she found a plastic bag that contained last nights take out. The motive behind this attack is the fact that she had not gone for a walk the day before.

For Rainy Days

After many requests to see Bailey walking on the treadmill... here it is!

Late New Years

Sorry for being m.i.a for the last couple of months! But I have to admit, I've been a little lazy to finish a post.

At the start of the new year, the family and a couple of friends went up to Whistler to have some fun for a couple of days. We've taken Bailey to Whistler before, but not when it's winter season! The sight of fluffy white snow made her so ecstatic that she darted towards it and didn't care about the fact that I was shivering to death (I was just letting her out to do her business, I didn't think she would refuse to go inside!).

For the two days we stayed in Whistler, the mornings to early afternoon was Bailey's time to play in the snow. But given that dogs were not allowed on the same mountain as the skiers, we found a wonderful dog off leash area just 10 mins away from Whistler village. As you can tell by the picture above, the dog playing area is suppose to be a beach, but it was so cold that the whole lake froze!

It was an amazing experience to walk on a frozen lake! I don't think Bailey realized she was running around on a frozen lake, but she didn't care because she was frolicking in the snow in temperatures below zero... that was heaven for her!

Every time I pointed the camera towards Bailey to take a picture, she would turn out as a blur or that I would only get half of her body. She wouldn't stop zooming past me this way and that way until finally her legs gave out on her and she plopped onto the snow. Even then I still wasn't able to get her to look at the camera because she was too busy munching away at the white, tasteless and cold snow!

Well by the time we got back to the hotel room and got ready to snowboard, Bailey had already passed out on the living room floor. She was out like a light that she didn't care that we left her in the room while it was our turn to have fun in the snow. Surprisingly, she regained all her energy the next morning for round two at the dog park.
