Ruffwear Dog Boot Fit Guide

Posted on November 26, 2019November 25, 2019 by Sandra

We get a lot of people asking us about J’s dog boots. He has two sets of boots from Ruffwear: a winter set and a summer set. James tends to get snow packed in between his pads in the winter. He will just stop walking and lift up a foot and then switch and lift…

Does James the Poodle like Apples?

Posted on November 22, 2019November 21, 2019 by Sandra

The apples here in Oyama, British Columbia are ripe and are being picked off the trees. It is fun to walk around the orchard with James and watch. I was talking to these apple pickers and they were saying hello to James. The man took an apple and threw it for James to retrieve. James…

Ice Hockey Gear in Canada

Posted on November 8, 2019November 5, 2019 by Sandra

As we drive around the Calgary area, I keep seeing these stores called “Canadian Tire” and I told Chris I wanted to check it out. We aren’t in the market for new tires, but the stores are HUGE. They must sell other things besides tires. And guess what? They do! They have sporting goods, housewares,…

#instadog

Posted on November 4, 2019October 31, 2019 by Sandra

While in Global Pet Foods in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, we found these cute collar labels. One said “#instadog” and we decided James needed it for his collar. James is a star on Instagram, after all! View this post on Instagram My dad saw this #instadog collar decoration at @globalpetfoods_cochrane and said I needed to have…

Weather on my Apple Watch

Posted on October 30, 2019October 28, 2019 by Sandra

I love that my Apple watch has the weather on the face. I can quickly glance and see the current temperature, as well as the high and the low for the day. I’ve been traveling a lot lately and for some reason my watch can’t seem to figure out what weather to show me. This…

We Found Rabbit Feet Dog Treats in Canada

Posted on October 29, 2019October 28, 2019 by Sandra

If you have been following our blog, you know James LOVES rabbit ear dog treats. I’ve only been able to find the really big good ones in Europe. But now that we are in Canada, I decided to look and see if they have rabbit ear dog treats. Well, they don’t have rabbit ears. They…

Canadian Currency is so Beautiful!

Posted on October 28, 2019October 25, 2019 by Sandra

We are in Canada and one of our first stops was getting Canadian cash. Canada’s currency is so beautiful – in fact it is my favorite in all of the World! The paper has the most beautiful feel to it and in fact, it isn’t paper. The Canadian currency is actually plastic – made from…

French First Words

Posted on October 22, 2019October 20, 2019 by Sandra

Are Poodles French? Maybe. Poodles are said to be the national dog of France. Is there a such thing as a French Poodle? No. But historians agree that the Poodle probably came from Germany (even though it is still argued that the origins are French). In France, James the Poodle is known as a Caniche…

Flowers in Seattle

Posted on October 11, 2019October 4, 2019 by Sandra

I love looking at plants, trees and flowers when we travel. I was surprised to see succulents growing in the rocks along a path in Seattle! I was also really surprised to see thistles everywhere! Some were small and some were HUGE! AND of course the blackberries. I finally decided to eat a few off…

Posted on October 10, 2019October 4, 2019 by Sandra

While we were in Seattle, we needed dog food for James. We like to look up stores that have brands we love and Mud Bay showed up in the Seattle area. It turns out that Mud Bay has stores in Washington and Oregon. I look forward to them expanding to the entire US! The stores…

Seattle’s Duck Dodge

Posted on October 3, 2019October 3, 2019 by Sandra

We happened to be walking around Lake Union on a summer Tuesday night and there were a LOT of sailboats, boats, stand up paddleboards and more all in what appeared to be organized chaos. It turns out, this is a tradition called the Duck Dodge. It is an organized regatta that is more like a…

My Dad is a First Responder

Posted on September 23, 2019September 13, 2019 by Sandra

When my Dad first moved to Wisconsin, he told me he was training to be a firefighter! I was really impressed! My Dad’s instructor even said my Dad is the oldest student he has taught (Sorry Dad! I won’t tell everyone how young you are). I’ve really enjoyed hearing my Dad’s rescue stories. After completing…

Dodge Durango

Posted on September 8, 2019September 6, 2019 by Sandra

I was driving the other morning in the rain and the car in front of me had really pretty tail lights! From a distance, I thought it was a Jeep. But as I got closer, I realized it was a Dodge Durango! I really like the look of the newer Dodge Durangos. If I was…

Gift from Chris: Pine Cone Bouquet

Posted on September 6, 2019August 30, 2019 by Sandra

I love when Chris does sweet little things like pick me a flower, pick up a leaf turning colors or pick up a cute little pine cone bouquet. We were out walking and Chris handed me this cluster of teeny tiny pine cones and it just melted my heart.

Green Cars and Red Cars

Posted on August 1, 2019July 26, 2019 by Sandra

I love cars with a color other than white, black or silver. My first car was green. My second car was maroon. My third car was candy apple red. My fourth car was forest green. My fifth car was navy blue. I have never owned a black, white or silver car and I probably never…

Instagram post 2170825009688527600_9532088043 I think our morning @lumasoothe sessions are really helping James.  We alternate using the surface light head one day (to help James re-grow his hair) and the deep therapy light head the next day (to help muscles and arthritis). James loves it - a guaranteed morning massage in bed!  James has been off the prednisone for over a month now and he did lose about 50% of his hair.  But with this light therapy and supplements it is slowly coming back!

Instagram post 2147511822289552459_9532088043 I decided to act like a 2 year old with my puppy friends last night.  My 9.5 year old body is paying for those two rounds of fun today.  I could hardly walk this morning and I was moaning in pain.  Off to the vet we went.  Now I’m recovering with some pain pills.  Thankfully the sun was out for a little recovery time in the grass!
