Monsters of the Night

Halloween is approaching which means there will be more and more of these scary looking monsters around the neighbourhood in the next few days. My human isn't much of a fan of Halloween because she doesn't like being scared by monsters. So you can just imagine how difficult it must be for her to see these scary creatures around town. Being a good companion, I promised my human that I would protect her from all the monsters during our evening walks. I even demonstrated to her just how harmless the monster was by taking a photo with him.

Did You Say Free?

A few weeks ago, there was an event happening in the village and being a responsible berner I took Diana out to see what the fuss was all about. What caught our attention the most was a massive food truck that was offering everyone a free hot beverage from their menu. It took some persuading to get my human to stand in the long line up, but even with my hard work she didn't allow me to have a sip of her mocha.

He Says Baah

My family went back to Country farms for the last time before they close for the winter. While there, I chatted a bit with the friends I made the last time I was here, but not everyone was excited to be my friend. This guy with the extremely curly fur was a little shy and even suspicious of me. I tried my best to show him that I was friendly and just wanted to say hi and exchange information, but he kept his distance away from me and only said hi to the humans. I'm staying optimistic and believe that one day he'll become my friend.

The Lounger and I

I can feel the weather changing, which means the hot weather will soon be gone. That in turn will mean that Diana will be placing her comfy lounge chair into storage and I won't be able to sneak up when she's not looking to enjoy a nap. With the weather still warm enough to sit outside, I'm taking advantage of the lounger as much as possible before it disappears!

Country Farms

My humans have been eating lots of local vegetables and fruits lately. And just the other day, they took me to a place called Country Farms to buy more because they said summer is almost over. Not sure what that means, but if it involves a family trip out then I'm all for it!

I made some new friends at Country Farms! I met a pair of doggies (have you seen the big doggies my sister saw the other day?) and had a very long chat with them. They were so friendly because they saw me from a far and immediately asked me to go over and have a quick chat. To be honest I couldn't quite understand everything they said. For instance, I don't know the difference between "oink oink" and "oink oink oink". However, according to my new friends, playing in mud is a good way to cool down! Maybe I'll try that one day.

I am always happy to help out Diana whenever she needs it so I was given the responsibility of looking after the shopping cart while she walked around the narrow aisles of fruits. I was being a very good guard dog, I didn't let any of the items in the cart run away!

When I wasn't busy looking after the shopping cart, I was checking out the odd looking produce that were stacked in boxes. I was quite fascinated by this plump looking veggie called a squash. Diana says that there are many different types of squash and lots of ways to make delicious things with it. But from what I could smell, it doesn't have a yummy scent like garlic.

It Was Meant to Be

As I was going through Bailey's puppy pictures, I came across this one where she's sporting a yellow cape and it reminded me of her wearing her life jacket in the present time. Would you call this destiny?

Riding the Waves

I think my life jacket gives me super powers! I feel like I can conquer anything at the beach! Even the waves don't look intimidating anymore. To show my human just how courageous I was, I dared her to throw the ball into the incoming waves! Please excuse my human for not catching the first half of my swim in the video below, she was having technical camera problems after I yelled 'action'...

Maritime Festival

Over the weekend, there was a celebration called Maritime Festival occurring at the Britannia Heritage Shipyard. There were lots of activities and entertainment to watch. The picture above shows a driftwood mandala. Not sure what that means, but my human participated as I watched from the side. I later found out that the purpose of this mandala was to wish the ocean, lakes and rivers a good health by placing a piece of driftwood inside.

Interestingly, there was a building full of these small boats inside! I don't get why the boats are so small, it doesn't seem like it could fit a person on it. Maybe it's for the cat next door? She's quite small so I have do doubt that's what it's used for!

Scattered around the area were these stage performers. Some of them would be talking about old stories about the people who use to reside in the area whereas others played instruments. My human looked interested in the performers with the instruments so I insisted that we stay for a bit longer and listen to this group. I have to admit, I have a pretty good ear for music as my human was very pleased with my selection.
