As if it isn’t far enough to go from Winnipeg to Vancouver, I decided to take a detour on day 1 and go to Riding Mountain National Park.

You may remember Finnegan from last year when I looked after her and her older sister Neko.

As I mentioned yesterday, the dogs and I head out on at least one walk each day. Some days, we go around turns and down streets and I often let the dogs pick the route. I enjoy the scenery and the different streets we travel on, but photo taking opportunities are not as good as… Continue reading Adventures in Dog/Cat/House Sitting – part 2
