There’s a severe lack of dogs in this thread. Come on people. We’re better than this.

An oldy but a goodie. A bit bittersweet because this August will be our first time back to OBX without our BooBoo, but that's one of my favorite pics of HIM. He loved the beach and I loved being there with him.

Edit was me changing him to HIM. Dumb by me

We have had 5 dogs. First was a female Brittany, who loved the water. 4 male springers after that. First one was ok, but didn't love water, next 2 hated it. 5th one loves it.

Yea we actually got that life vest for her, because we couldn't keep he out of a friend's pool we used to go to a lot. She would just keep jumping in even if nobody was in there, and we were worried about her tiring herself out.

The big guy loved the ocean and the creek near our house, but wasn't a fan if he couldn't touch bottom. He also soured a bit on the ocean after he got rolled a few years ago :laugh:

Update on our fires we are dealing with. They largely have stopped a big spread of the fire close that was close to us. No evacs yesterday.

That changed around 6 today when another fire started closer to the city and closer to us. And it's concerning due to a huge ammonia storage tank in that area. They have had a helicopter bombing water all night. And it's a very wooded area with no roads "ahead" of where it could spread so that's a concern.

Then on top of that, approx 2.5 hrs away, we have the largest fire in our
Provinces history going on. But it's in a mostly wooded area so not near tbe evacuations we have going on. It's size is 50, 000 acres right now.

Over 2000 homes have been evacuated. So far, they estimate over 150 homes destroyed and 50+ other structures In the fires closer to me.

We have started packing things just in case because the wind I blowing our way from the fire. Just want to be prepared in case evacuated. Such a weird feeling of packing in case everything you leave could be gone when you come back.

We have an air quality warning due to those fires. Hope you stay safe and the fires get controlled soon.
