Oh, I am always so happy when I know I am going to see my 2 favourite pooches. As usual, I got a royal welcome. And for some reason, I always know it will not be without some kind of adventure. Ennis was the little instigator this time. We worried about him having to go to the vet to get checked out for persistent loose poops, I figured out that he stole a bag of cereal and ate it all🤣.  Ennis had a lot of fun this week. He got to meet Elvis, my pooch.. and both got along like 2 peas in a pod. Stella was the sweet gal as always.  She likes to take her time during her walk.  But don’t be fooled, Stella has 2 speeds, the slow walk and the rabbit trot. She is hilarious when she sees a rabbit. She accelerates like a horse breaking out of the gate.  Thank you for an awesome stay.  It is always a joy to be with you 2 🥰

Ennis can only be described as a sensitive guy, when he's got muddy feet better be gentle when you wipe them off! Thunder and lightning? Watch him run and hide. Try to brush him the "wrong" way once, you'd think he had his tail cut off! Make him wait just a LITTLE too long before going outside, OH MY GOSH someone call the fire department! This dog might just implode LOL. I certainly got a few laughs out of this guy.  Stella is much more grounded  but she really was not feeling the rain! Her poor little ears drooped and she kept looking back at the house when we took our walk in the morning. But she really like getting rubbed with the towel, unlike her brother. I must also tell you of the carrot chronicles. As I was chopping a carrot, a piece fell on the floor. Knowing I had two dog-vacuums just laying around I called Stella over and offered it to her. She gave it a sniff and then offered a look of bewilderment. Now Ennis comes over, wondering why Stella should get anything he doesn't and so I offer it to him. Once, twice, and thrice to no avail. He would take it and then drop it right away! What dog doesn't carrots?!?!   Never a dull moment with these two!

Thank you for another lovely stay Ennis and Stella. Those 2 are my fav, and I think I am their fav as well now that I know where the treats drawer is! Can you imagine,  I have pet sat these 2 amazing pooches many times now and I never knew where the treats were?  Stella discovered I can do massages so she was in heaven when I rubbed her back end. We had a very quiet week. The kiddos woke me up very early in the morning to go for their walk/run. The weather was on the coolish side for most of the outing, but the kids loved it. They enjoyed their walks and run, and behaved well. The two pups are awesome doggies. Thanks for an awesome time 🥰😍🐶🐕🐾!

We were in the river a lot today. Ennis is such a beautiful big black dog, but that can come at a cost. Luckily, I headed over early on this lovely happy holiday and we went out before the sun got really intense. I think he might have been a little tired from yesterday’s run because we went a full kilometre less than our last run. It’s been awhile since we’ve run together though, so that makes a lot of sense and I’m glad we went at a pace comfortable for him.  Luckily, we just had an easy jog through the dog park which was absolutely full of other dogs but they never bothered us. Ennis is a pretty old guy, but he is a fantastic runner and always has this cute smile on his face. I always enjoy running with you buddy!  The Scoop: 1 poo, several pees​.

It’s been such a long time since Ennis and I ran together, but a couple of treats early on sweetened the start so he wasn’t as hesitant as he normally is when new/people who’ve been gone for awhile show up at the front door. I know how much he loves his trails too; much like any other dog, so we were quick to skip off the pavement and head straight to Sandy Beach where we probably did just about every single trail the ravine had to offer.  There were plenty of things to sniff. Ennis isn’t particularly fast when he is sniffing, but that means he’s going at his own pace and I really enjoyed the nice loping jog we went for this morning.  Good to see you again buddy! The Scoop: 1 poo, several pees.

I had another lovely stay with my besties Ennis and Stella! Since the weather is nicer now, it was even better. Ennis is a hoot! He was so excited when he saw me.  He jumped so high that I wouldn’t be surprised if he reached above my head (okay, I know I am short 🤣).  It was a relaxing stay but we had no mountain time this time. We decided to stay in town and enjoy the surrounding parks. Since there is now no snow on the ground, everything looks new to me. Haha!  They loved sleeping by my bed at night. Ennis was at one side and Stella was at the other. I bet they kept an eye open all night long. I heard a noise at night and it didn’t take long for the two to get up, bark, and have a quick looks around to make sure all was good. They are awesome! Thank you for an awesome stay kiddos! See you soon.

Well, what can I say... I got the royal treatment when I arrived at Ennis' place. He sure knows who I am and why I am here. He went happy crazy; barking, jumping, and carrying on. His excitement was to the max. It was so nice to see my buddies Ennis and Stella for sure 😍. We got ready quickly and out we went. Ennis was so excited that he was a bit mouthy with other doggies. I had to let him know he needed to behave. 🤣. He got much better after a couple kilometres and he was very polite to other pooches; especially if they were gals! He was so happy to go for a run.  We went to Sandy Beach and since it was bright and sunny (and warmer) everyone (people and doggies) were out and  in a happy mood! The time flew by, 8K went in a blink of an eye. Ennis had one poop and few pees.

I have to say I had a lot of fun with Stella and Ennis over the last 3 days! They kept me entertained for sure. Stella has such a cute face, I call her Stella Bear Bear! Ennis is the little mischievous kid.  I saw him howling when the fire truck passed by.  He was on the table barking at the window, eating things he wasn't supposed to (yes, his poops were full of wrapping) and howling again as soon as I went out to my car and back. He barked at people passing by late last night. This boy can party for sure 😂🥳🎉  Stella is innocent and she is way too cute.. 🤣🐾 We had some funky weather; one day was nice and the other felt like -20C with wind.  It was -15C yesterday and we had to deal with a lot of salt on the road and sidewalk. Poor guys; it wasn’t fun out there at times so some walks were cut shorter! We had fun otherwise  and we were all very happy. So see you in a couple of days. I can’t wait!! 🐾🙏🏻
