Critters and birthdays......

Chi'ik likes to prowl the deck at the cabin....always on his harness, however....

Dax just gets to roam around, as she can't jump the barrier we made at the stairs....loves that water bucket...

We had an unexpected visitor a few times......check out the railing outside the window.....Chiik and Dax were very curious.............

Yup - a dear young racoon helping himself to the bird suet.....

We wondered why it was disappearing so fast....but all the birds love it too.....woodpeckers, blue jays, stellar jays....and racoons, as it turns out.........

We got to attend our friend Bruce's birthday bash while we were in Victoria - here son Sam does the honours on the barbeque............

Jason arrived that day from Vancouver, so joined the party for a bit before we all headed to the cabin......

Catherine organized an amazing spread of food, and everyone contributed an appy, so it was a feast....

Lots of friends came to celebrate with the family.......

Bruce, the Birthday Boy.......75 years young!!!

dogs and Sooke visits....

Another fun dog sitting day with Chloe, TG and Molly
"where to now, auntie D......???"
Chloe and Miki set a faster pace that the other two....
OMG - back in the car again....you're not going to throw up again, are you Chi'ik....Chi'ik.....ewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!"
Another lovely stay at Brian and Josh's cabin......
A restful light filled space on the water......
with gorgeous sunsets.......
and Chi'ik is fine once he gets here.......
So this time we got to have dinner with Pam and Margo....
our visits to Victoria is such a great time to spend with dear friends.
