So my Woof Host added some pillows and felt around the bottom of the Yurt and it's so cosy and homey.
Now "We're Glamping!"

Well we are here, at our first Woof host. We are staying on Vancouver Island and the property is a Wellness Center in it's early stages. We get to live in a Yurt.

There are lots of wonderful plants here and they have some ducks to eat the slugs.

 They have a couple a great dogs. We are near a beautiful river and the dogs are great because there are bears and cougars in the area.

This morning the owners asked me to go gather St. John's Wort.

We saw lots of  bear scat so we know the bears are near.

Apparently there are two bears, the moma bear and her cub, but he's on his own now so he's not that young. He was seen very close to the Yurt just before we arrived but the dog chased him off so all is cool.

A woofing we shall go,
A woofing we shall go,
Hi Ho the scenerio
A woofing we shall go!

Well kids this is it! We are almost on our way to our first Woofing Adventure. I'm not going to blog too much, I am saving that for my book and my Youtube Film but I will be sharing some. Anyways, I haven't been blogging very much at all and thought I better let you know what I've been up to.

We moved out of our home. That was a big deal. It was a very hard move. School ended and the teacher and principal had really great things to say about Angel but now we will go back to homeschooling.

Summer appears to be here. FINALLY! It's been one heck of a cold wet spring and start to summer, but it appears we are warming up now. Unfortunately we have smoke from wild fires from Colorado...or so my friend said, anyways we have smog. :( So the rain was good for that.

Well I'm not going to write much more. I still have to do my final pack. Trying to pack for a trip like this is tricky. We need everything we want for summer but I need to think about later on too.

Okay..hi ho, hi ho...it's off to woof we go....;)
Cheers!
