Nothing kills a 3-beer buzz quicker than a 3-dog walk in the woods. But it's all part of the owner/pet agreement, and I wouldn't have it any other way. These beauties save my soul at least twice a day when we get out into our woods, and away from the madding crowd and such. #DogIsMyCopilot

My poor pup, Beaufort, went to the groomer's for the first time today. Apparently he was so terrified he shat all over the joint. Three times. And expressed his anal glands. With the special handlling fee, and a sizeable tip, that was one very spendy bath.

The missus and I were day tripping this afternoon. We made an excursion to a place called Port Alberni, BC. It's practically in the dead centre of Vancouver Island, but is at the end of a fjord that starts on the west coast of the Island. It's an old pulp and paper town, and is also a bigly yuge jumping off point for commercial and sport fishing. Instead of fish, we had shitty Mexican food at the Alberni Quay.

The missus and I are booked for a 3 hour whale watching tour, a 3 hour tour, way the hell up Island at a place called Telegraph Cove, BC. We'll stay at some no-tell motel in Port McNeil, as decent rooms at the Telegraph Cove Lodge start around $400/night, and I'm not interested in spending a grand on a bed for a couple of sleeps. I'm super stoked for this; I've lived in BC going on 30 years, and have never done much touristy shit like this.

Camada is importing them to work low wage service jobs, replacing teens and seniors who would normally work them. The worst part is we tax payers are subsidizing this thru a temporary foreign worker program, and a foreign student deal. Employers have to show they advertised for a job and got no applications from Canadians and the government pays a portion of the wages of these foreigners. They simply throw out the applications of Canadians and lie to get govt $.

Well, after an hour long phone call with the missus, we discussed all the ins and outs, positives and negatives of selling and moving, including pocketing a ton of cash, we've decided the three most important things in real estate are location, location, and location. So we're going to double down on our existing home and keep living in paradise, even if it means living in the ongoing chaos of our basement suite construction. Island life is the best life.

Our old cat, Desi, drew his last breath this afternoon. He seems to have been in heart failure for several days, but he refused to let go, so we had to take him to the vet's office. The little fighter refused to die and the vet had to spike him right in the heart with a few more cc's of the death syrum. Man, I get all weepy when this happens. Now I'm now extra grateful for the respite from this recent cold snap; breaking frozen ground blows. He'll be buried next to his sister, Lucy. RIP buddy.
