On April 23rd Andy took our baby girl to the vet to check out her limp. Jessie plays HARD so we assumed she had pulled something playing with her friends. At that appointment we were told it was cancer, she won’t be with us by winter. We were heart broken. If you have had the pleasure of meeting Jessie then you know she couldn’t be more dog! Jessie loves life ❤️ We had to know more, we had to do something and so we requested a biopsy. At the time the the results felt like the best news, the cancer is in the cartilage, amputation will give her 2 more years of adventures! Amputation will give us 2 more years of cuddles and muddy paw prints, 2 more years of love ❤️ today Jessie jumped into the back of the car, ready for another adventure, ready for the pain to go away and to live her best tripod life! 🐾

It has been such an interesting journey monitoring and measuring our carbon emissions over the past year. Although we have so many improvements we want to make in order to reduce our carbon footprint we have been pleased to choose to offset our impact on the environment using their verified planting projects.

Anyone for a bit of mid summer skiing in the midst of a heatwave? About an hour from here… 😲

Ski season is back. It’s been more than a month since Sunshine Village celebrated the end of their already-long season with their annual Slush Cup, but the Banff resort has – somewhat miraculously – announced that they’re re-opening for Canada Day this week. That’s something that hasn’t ...

For anyone wondering, “Why Golden?”… this sums it up pretty damn well 😊
