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.
