Roxy and Tasha’s Adventures

It’s been three months since Christopher and I have adopted the lovely Miss Tasha from the West Vancouver SPCA and I’m a girl in love, more and more each day. The love I have for animals runs so very deep … someday I would love to have a farm and have many different animals, all coexisting in happy, innocent love. The love I’m developing for Tasha is something else :) Tasha has had a hard life (we’re her fifth home) and every time I look at her, I’m blown away by how well behaved and social she is given everything she’s been through. I genuinely cannot believe someone would give her up again and again. Christopher and I feel ridiculously lucky to have found her and to click so well with her from the very beginning. She is such a good listener and such an amazing walker. She genuinely loves everyone and is excited to meet anyone new. She is easy to walk and incredibly loyal. She is also a giant lapdog and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We have so much fun together, her and I, and I can’t wait to have many more adventures as we grow as a new family. I wish I had known her in her younger years but I’m most definitely going to cherish her older ones. If anyone wants to go on walks with us, we’re down! ;)

On a side note, I can’t begin to express how much I recommend adopting a senior pup. They are amazing puppies that are often ignored over the young ones … they have such a ridiculous amount of love to give and they are often already trained, with way less energy than young pups. I struggled with the decision as I didn’t want to get attached to an older dog only to feel bad about the short time we’ll have together, but I feel in my heart it was the right decision. I can’t imagine better company while I work than miss Tasha the pup.

The following photos are from a beautiful day at the park with our dear visiting friend Barbara, the amazing photographer behind Barbara Rahal Photography in Edmonton, Alberta at one of our places to visit, Vancouver’s Everett Crowley Park. Barbara is so incredibly talented and fun and she managed to get some amazing shots of my puppy and I, being ourselves and enjoying each other’s company and the beautiful BC trees. And having fun. A lot of fun. Thank you, Barbara, I will cherish these images forever.

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.
