We acquired a campsite right next to the washroom facilities for a possible Amber bathroom emergency. Amber, at the age of 3, was fully toilet trained but my […]

One “Magic” Christmas
Our first pet, “Magic”, was a delicate creature in spite of her wolfish appearance. She was a Canadian Champion and won the biggest crown of “Best in Show”. She maintained the dignity befitting that title. The retired show dog was given to us on a trial basis. We were to keep her for a […]
