Thulani in Gibsons, British Columbia - Part Two

Day 3 & 4

I work in a nursing home from 7am to 7pm so didn’t have the energy on these days to do much with Thulani so he stayed home and rested with the dog.  Here I am arriving at work in my scrubs on one of our rare snowy days


 
Today Thulani came with me to my dentist appointment. Not my favorite way to spend an afternoon, but it’s one of those necessary evils.  On a positive note, NO CAVITIES.


After the dentist, we hung around the house and relaxed and stayed out of the rain.  Thulani shared a nice bowl of oatmeal with my granddaughter, Maddy.



Day 5

Hiking day.  There is a beautiful area of new and old growth forest here on the Sunshine Coast, home to some of the oldest Western Cedar in Canada. We stopped to take a picture of Thulani’s new buddy, Camie the Parson Russell, in front of a magnificent and huge old Fir tree. It takes about 6 people to reach all the way around the trunk of this tree.


We have had almost every weather system you can think of this week, from snow and hail to rain then some sun.  The hiking trail was really wet this week but that only added to the glorious, green scenery.

Thulani couldn’t see the forest for the trees.


Along with Camie the Wonder Dog, we brought our little Canadian mascot on the hike.  A Beaver – and his name?  You guessed it – Justin, yep, Justin Beaver.  The 3 Amigos stopped for a rest on a lovely moss-covered old cedar stump – great photo op.
