Chemistry Dog is all snuggled into my lap as I tap out posts for my site and e-book with one finger on my iPad because there’s only space for Sasja on my lap! Photo by @raymondnichols.bsky.social #dogsofbluesky

Sasja having the best hike ever at Rolley Lake provincial park in Mission, BC! At 3.66 km, it’s her (and my) longest hike ever! It’s a beautiful, easy walk around the lake. @raymondnichols.bsky.social has a new camera, so he took some great photos, including this one. #dogsofbluesky

Sasja the forest dog after a 1.5 km walk/hike at Chilliwack Mountain, ready for a bit more fun! She’s loving these trips - she’s practically dragging us through the forests, up and down the hills, such a happy little pup. #dogsofbluesky

Uh oh, no winter hike for you today, forest dog! We had a weird snowstorm on Thursday that turned to rain later that day, but clearly the Chilliwack Community Forest hadn’t defrosted by the next day. We tried for about 200 m, but realized it was too slippery. #dogsofbluesky

Sasja had a big, tiring, fun day on Saturday at Syexw Cho:leqw park - 20 km east of Agassiz on Hwy 7 - walking the trails, looking at the art work, reading the stories of First Nations’ people of the area. Definitely so much more to explore there! #dogsofbluesky

Sasja isn’t sure about snow. She doesn’t hate it, she doesn’t love it, so she has to go out every 15 minutes to investigate what exactly it is. ❄️

After our hike the other day, Sasja had the biggest pup cup she’d ever seen at Triple O’s! Cream flying all over the car - on the seats, the console, Raymond’s pants - as she took huge licks of her treat! Delicious! #dogsofbluesky #tongueoutTuesday

A big hike yesterday in the Chilliwack Community Forest on the trails created by devoted volunteers! Sasja had great fun with all the new smells and crinkly leaves. Over 3 km! And we stopped for a pup cup afterwards! #dogsofbluesky

Sasja after grooming, just about to launch into some post-bath zoomies, eagerly waiting for her daddy to show off how pretty she looks. She’s just so soft and cuddly! #dogsofbluesky

Sasja has learned if she sits very politely and patiently, she may get a tiny piece of bacon during breakfast. Yep, she had some bacon! #dogsofbluesky

It’s winter pyjama time at our house for a few more days. Sasja’s enjoying a cuddle as I write up a formulating series for my site with one finger on my iPad because I just can’t bear to move her to use my laptop. (4,000+ words yesterday! Woo hoo!) #dogsofbluesky

Happy New Year! We had a lovely walk with Sasja on New Year’s Eve on the new path being created along the creek behind our house. The weather has been amazing the last few weeks, blue, cloudless skies and bright sunny days - perfect pup walking weather! #dogsofbluesky
