ADVENTURE DAY WITH CRAZY MAYZIE & BEARDO

As many of you know, Jake and I are proud volunteers of a rescue called Megan's Rescue Efforts. We have been there for over 2 years now, and we enjoy every poop covered, wagging tail, sloppy kiss minute we spend there.

Today marks the day that I finished my last assignment for my first year of college, so it was a call for celebration! I contemplated going for a small hike, or going out for a couple drinks, but then it dawned on me... it was a beautiful day, Jake and I have nothing to do, and I was sure there was at least one puppy who would love to join us on an adventure.

The text to Megan was sent, and we were on our way to pick up Mayzie!(see below)

Mayzie is a 4 month old rescue from Manitoba. She came to us with her sister from a pit bull breeder who deemed her "not pit bull enough to sell". Their loss, and our gain!

Now back to our adventures:

Although Jake and I normally pick up the pups and head to the mountains, we decided to explore a bit of downtown Calgary with our friend Mayzie in tow. She is still a pup, and as a result is still learning to walk on leash, and greet others nicely so we took her to a place where she could make many friends and meet many new people.

Unbeknownst to us, Jake and I chose to explore downtown Calgary on a date where the app Pokemon Go launched a new Pokemon, which drew crowds and crowds of people!! Lucky for us, Mayzie was an absolute dream!

Collectively, we walked over 6 KM today, and while Jake and I may be ready for a nap Mayzie was still full of energy.

This young girl has come a long way since she first entered the doors of the rescue, and her potential amazes me! She is full of energy, has ears that could direct a plane, and a cuddly personality that could melt anyone's heart.

Please enjoy some more photos from our day in Calgary, and check out Megan's Rescue Efforts for more information on Mayzie and others like her looking for their furever homes.

Some Peace Bridge exploration.

Who wouldn't love this little face greeting them everyday??

Maybe, just maybe we did tire her out after all!

Til next time friends!! <3

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...

ZOO DAY WITH MOM, DAD, AND FUTURE HUBS!

If you have visited Jake and I in Calgary, chances are we have taken you to the Zoo! This set of special visitors was no different; my mom and dad got to accompany us on a Zoo excursion, and I'm always proud to show people a place that I hold close to my heart. My mom and dad have gone to the zoo with us before, but this time they got to see the pandas, the "grown up" Kimani, and the 7ft tall Narobi! Hope you enjoy a few photos from the day, I surely enjoyed taking them. With crowds of people, these are the only panda bear photos I have that made the cut; keep an eye out, I am sure to return! Mom and dad watching the red pandas as they tromped through the grass. These little guys are always good for a laugh, always so curious about their surroundings. My beautiful Narobi, all grown up! A mama and her babies, hidden from most of the crowds but spotted by my dad's keen eye. A teen...

ZOO DAY

If you have ever visited us in Calgary, chances are we've been to the zoo. I love learning about the animals in the care, the work they do in the wild, and the animals that they save from destruction when there is injury or conflict with humans that render them unable to exist in the wild. Below are some photos that I took during our trip today. Most of the animals were in their indoor enclosures, or hibernating but I did get some good shots to share. One of my favorite photos I have ever taken at the zoo. At the request of my dear mom, I took multiple photos of the hilarious panda bears. Not-so-little Kimani was quite the trickster today. She was running around full tilt when we got there, they she began climbing along the ropes, and finished off her spurt of energy by pestering her aunt. To our sheer excitement, our visit to the wolf enclosure was at the exact right moment! When we showed up, o...
