Boneheads @ Paws, Play, & Pinot Gris
Rosa and I stopped by the Sasamat Outdoor Centre for their 1st annual dog focused fundraiserand I gotta say it was a pretty great turnout for a first time event. As soon as we arrived at the entrance and purchased our tickets we were given a glass of champagne and doggy bag full of fun human and doggy treats. Now that's an event I could go to more often. There was a great view of the lake and the dogs were welcome everywhere so they got to hang out with us no matter what kind of trouble we got into. I wish THAT was more common.
They had a great caricature artist there so Rosa couldn't pass that up. She says she does it for the dogs but they really didn't seem to care ;-)
Boneheads also had the privilege to be one of the sponsors so everyone that came got a free hike and a boneheads decal! Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to take up some new dogs to join in on all the fun. There were lots of great dogs and dog owners out to support the event and to generally have a great time.
We enjoyed a scrumptious meal for both human and our doggy friends as well as a great live band and lots of doggy entertainment. Door prices and auctions were aplenty (although we didn't win anything, fixed!) and even cupcakes and coffee at the end. Overall a fantastic little fundraiser with an abundance of potential for next year. Tip o' the hat to the whole crew. Great job all!
All proceeds went to support Sasamat Outdoor Centre's "Send a Kid to Camp!" which gives underprivileged children the opportunity to experience the fun and welcoming environment of Camp Sasamat!
There was lots of fun to be had - agility demos, live music and prizes - so next year come out and have a ball! Woof!
Check out the video below to see some of the dog agility and mayhem.

Who? Everyone ... except pooches :( sorry.
Kudos for Leslie Garbutt! She did an awesome job putting this fund raiser together!!
Everybody I spoke to seemed to be enjoying themselves entirely. Many smiling faces, tails wagging, bum sniffing, treats, demos, and of course we had to have a little bit of rain. But actually, we got quite a nice sunny break all afternoon, with scattered drizzles. But the show kept running. 
We hope you had a chance to enjoy it as much as we did. And if you didn't you should TOTALLY keep an eye out for next year's event! We also want to thank our friends that came and kept us company, support, and had the patience to hang out all day. Thanks Mark, Vanessa, and Christian!
Kane is looking for a big dog loving home, This is Kane, he is a grey/blue two year old Neapolitan Mastiff. His previous owner claims he had to go back to China and brought Kane to the vet to have him euthanized. The vet did not agree and is trying to find him a good home, but can not keep him for long.Kane will be neutered soon. He is starting to gain a little bit of weight, he was very very slim, he was probably a neglected back yard dog. He is now up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.Kane needs a new home, with a patient owner who is knowledgeable of giant breeds and the care they require. He will require training and work, he pulls very hard on the leash (probably never saw one before and never been out for regular walks). His situation obviously makes him anxious and stressed, but never barks.The vet can not keep him there for too long. Heaven can wait, and we are really trying to help.The ideal home would be:1. Relaxed and fairly quiet atmosphere2. Strong and experienced dog handler. 3. Loving, gentle and firm4. No other dogs in the home.Behavior around children or other animals is unknown.If you know of someone that could give Kane a good home, please contact Dalia at 604-376-7101 or daliatauber@shaw.ca Or forward this email to spread the word ... thanks!

I am so happy that I finally found a dog hiking service that I can trust to take care of my pooches and show them a great time, but also treat my dogs as well as they treat their own dogs. The owners of Boneheads are clearly experienced with dogs, and I know I can trust them 100% with my two furry babies Daisy and Carson! I used to drop them off at the daycare whenever needed, but found that they never really wanted to go in and were just overly happy to see me at night. With Boneheads, Carson and Daisy are just so excited to leave me in the morning, and they come back from the hikes well exercised and happy puppies! I highly recommend Boneheads for anyone who wants the best for their dog. Four paws up from Daisy and Carson!
Thanks to Vic's awesome help with the vinyl cutting and Ruy, Mara, and all our friends support and input, we were able to decorate our pup mobile. Here are some shots of the progress.
Creating a fun design was quite a challenge. We had to learn how to use Illustrator, and man it's an amazing tool! Thanks again 
Once that was done, you put them on a giant roll of masking tape and cut the pieces out. Then the REAL fun starts, specially in rainy Vancouver, when you actually put it on the car. Wash, clean, wipe, spray, soap ... slap on the art piece. Work around the cracks and holes, get the bubbles out, take the masking tape off without getting the paint off the car ... tough.
