SUNDAY FUNDAY WITH VIVIAN AND JAKE

It has been a while since our last adventure, so we decided today was the perfect day to get some quality self-care time in the books before Jake heads out of town for work again. 
Following the most up-and-down Summer of our lives, our Fall didn't slow down much at all with school, starting my own cleaning business, starting practicum, and Jake's work getting super busy, taking him out of town. 
With that said, the snow finally melted (somewhat), and the temperature warmed up, so it was a perfect day to grab an adventure partner, and explore a part of Fish Creek Park that we have never been to. 


We messaged Megan, suited up for an adventure and picked up sweet Vivian (pictured above). 
Vivian is a 7 month old pup who was picked up in Morley, suspected of being dumped by her previous owners. We don't know much of her back story, but we are determined to help her create a more adventurous, happy, and loving future. 

Throughout the car ride, Vivian sat in the back of the truck gazing out the window. Unlike some others we have taken on an adventure, we did not need to use the seat belt buckle, as we did not have any issues with her trying to climb up to the front seat, or jump out the window; she was just a happy pup along for the ride. 


Once we arrived at Fish Creek, I loaded my pockets with treats, we grabbed our coffees, and we were off on our trek through the woods. We began at the Marshall Springs, and looped through the Bebo Groove. Our walk was about 2 1/2 hours, with the temperature reaching t-shirt weather. All-in-all it was a gorgeous day, with a gorgeous pup. 

Although she is currently not yet available, keep checking out Megan's Rescue Efforts for more information about her and other adoptables looking for their forever home!

Without further adieu, enjoy some photos of our adventure day. Feel free to share/re-post, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate. If I do not know the answer, I will direct you to someone who does!

Happy adventuring friends. 



There were so many smells and sounds for Vivian to experience today. Although she was a bit nervous at first, she was quite happy to explore with us. 



Just getting a quick drink, and dipping her paws in. 


Look at those eyes! 


Such a gorgeous girl!




We were surrounded by such gorgeous colours all day. 



Watching the birds fly by. 




This girl absolutely LOVES cuddles and kisses. During our adventure, she often stopped to plant a big ol' kiss on Jake, and sneak in for a cuddle and a pat. She loved adventuring, but she loved being around people even more. Sadly, as our adventure progressed it became evident how weary people were around Vivian. We had people walk as far away as they could from her, even when she wasn't looking for attention from them. Vivian often attempted to approach people, tail waggin', only to be met with people who moved as far away from her as they could. It makes my heart sad that such a loving pup instills fear in people that judge her based on her appearance, but it just means that we have work to do to help change that stigma. 



Not a bad way to spend the day. Thankful for all the pups that we get to spend time with, and for all the adventures we all share. 

Til next time friends,
xoxo char hazzard

10 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED

If you're anything like me, you have a real soft spot for animals, especially those who haven't been treated fairly. Ever felt helpless, wondering what you can do to help?  Well lucky for you, I've got a list of 10 easy things you can do to make a real difference in the lives of the animals who need your help.  (this little guy was named Samson. A volunteer from  Megan's Rescue Efforts  called about a tiny little pup they found who was in terrible shape! This photo was taken during Samson's first few days at the rescue. Wait until you see the handsome pup he was transformed into!!) 1. ADOPT Although this seems like a no brainer, it still needs to be said. There are hundreds of animals waiting in a shelter to find their forever homes, and believe it or not, there are purebreds as well. Staff and volunteers work tirelessly to learn the personalities of each animal, and work to make the best matches between adopter and animal. This is a life time commitm

OUR FOSTER FAIL, OUR HOUSE COW

The beginning of Sasha's story is not the most glamorous, she was brought into the rescue because she was pregnant and the owners no longer wanted her. When she arrived, all I remember thinking was "another mostly black cat, she'll be hard to get adopted..." You see, Sasha was not ever one to want any human interaction, even more so when she had her kittens. She would allow you to pet her, but she was never one to seek out the attention.  None the less as her kittens grew they developed their own spunky personalities, and we took 2 of them in as our fosters (Bailey & Marlin, see below).  Marlin here was already pending adoption when we got him in our care, and it didn't take long to figure out why. This little guy was full of personality, and never ever turned down a cuddle.  Bailey however wasn't getting any interest until the day that she climbed next to the food bag and sat there, looking like a mirror image of the cat on the cat food
