Brenda is looking for housing. For any time in May ideally, and June 1st at the very latest would be ideal. This is a dream. I’m still trying to acquire funding which I currently do not have but you can’t reach goals without putting them out to the Universe and asking for help, right? I’m asking for…
Teddy will be OK. I’m back at the home I am staying at after a rush visit to a veterinarian‘s office in Vernon, B.C. (I am on the road, staying at a friends, while in transition) The good news is, I started crying in the lobby at the vet’s after they treated Teddy because they said…
Here’s a quick photo of Teddy today, on our little jaunt around the property here where I am staying in the Okanagan for a couple+ weeks while in transition. He’s TWO years old after yesterday and we’ve rarely been apart except for during my medical/cancer treatments. I feel so fortunate to have been able to…
I’m in a major transition. Recovering from cancer while in a housing transition. It’s a bit much. Overwhelming and stressful, but Teddy makes it more FUN. Wherever I go, my dog Teddy goes. We are a team. Is it easy traveling with a 70-pound standard poodle in tow? While staying at other peoples homes and…

Please do send me some love and positive vibes! I have come a long way, even in being able to ask you straight up, for your prayers and well wishes,…
I would like to thank Accent Inns in Victoria, B.C. for making my first stay so very comfortable. I stayed at Accent Inns Victoria during my first chemotherapy treatment at the BC Cancer Agency Vancouver Island Centre. This is a pet friendly hotel and I can highly recommend it. Staff were efficient, super friendly and professional at every point…
My standard poodle Teddy, is now lovingly and famously known as Dr. T., Doctor Theodore, and even Dr. Dreamy and Dr. McDrool. He’s my Chief Medical Officer. Teddy comes with me – to and from chemotherapy treatments (Fanny Bay to Victoria and back) stays with me in pet friendly hotels, and is by my side…
Swimming!! I went swimming and floating in the ocean!! The last paragraph will explain why I’m over the top happy! H E A V E N. Bliss. Aaaahhhh. I was in there for a LONG time. The water is very shallow, as Fanny Bay is famous worldwide for oysters. It’s a heavenly warm swimming spot…
