The event was a fundraiser for Save Our Scruff Dog Rescue. Grand total of the Sunday afternoon efforts was $500 – it will be used to help find homes for dogs on their way to the rescue.

That’s right – head to Smith Falls, Ontario (about a 60-minute drive from Canada’s capital, Ottawa) and visit the Smith Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario, a reconstructed 1921 train station at its original location, harkening back in the heydays of luxury rail passenger travel.
First dog birthday contest! To celebrate a new beginning, we’re hosting a give-away-contest to celebrate my dog’s first birthday. Two prize packs worth approximately $50 are available, no strings attached. Just comment on post!

Water parks for kids, well, people (let’s not pretend) have become incredibly popular in towns and cities across North American. Whether that’s a small splash pad or full on wave pool, heading to the waterpark on a hot summer’s […]
Two days in the 1000 Islands with a dog and no screens – that was the plan. I was ready to get out of town. Apparently, so was everyone else. Getting past Toronto gridlock traffic, well ahead of the city and well beyond, was the worst I’ve ever seen. People might not be travelling far, […]

The Paddle Art Tour Haldimand (PATH) is like a tourist scavenger hunt through several small towns dotting a large rural area. But don’t worry – the paddles aren’t hard to find considering the address of each is listed in the guide (here).
