DAY 1: DONE
I’ve been on the Island since yesterday evening. After bailing from the office early, grabbing the car and puppies, I headed to Horseshoe Bay for the trek home. The sailing on BC Ferries was my first experience on the new C-Class Coastal Renaissance vessel, and I was surprisingly impressed. Some pluses: ATMs on the ferry (though you still can’t use Interac to pay for anything), two full-sized passenger decks, a 1,500 square-foot gift shop and more lounges. In fact, the lounges were what impressed me most. Rather than just one or two large passenger areas, the lounges are broken up, making the entire ambience of the boat much more calm and less chaotic - despite the increased passenger volume.
The only let-down I saw so far was the pet area. As before, it’s a small, cold, steel room with plastic seats - not at all warm, inviting or comfortable. One would think that BC Ferries would’ve finally realized that pets are a very important part of families and deserve more than solitary confinement. Some photos are below with more on my Flickr.
Since arriving, I’ve done nothing. I’m trying my hardest to get Charley, Casey and Benji to get along but it’s tough work. I’m really not sure what’s going on between those three. The only thing I am sure of is how cute they all are.
Truth be told, I should be more relaxed, rested and peaceful. For whatever reason, I feel anything but. It’s time to retire for the night with some Javier and a Diet Pepsi and hope that Friday brings the special kind of sunshine that I need.

With the full moon and spring equinox, there’s some strange energy in the air. I have a feeling todady will be a better day. And I hope you enjoyed Javier last night
Animals seem to behave funny in the Spring.
But that kind sucks about the conditions on the ferry for pets. :p Give the kids some time and I’m sure they’ll warm up to each other. 
Hope you all have a great weekend out there. 
I’m trying to control my jealousy as I sit here at work. Boo.
It’s Friday and we have sunshine and even a bit of the special kind!
They might be trying to figure out who’s alpha male? Cute picture of them together.
Try and relax this weekend, I may be guessing your mind is elsewhere and am also guessing that you may be worried.
I think a healthy overdose of Javier is a great idea
As for me, I’m going to get a healthy overdose of Ryan Reynolds… or maybe Ryan Philippe….
That Sex & The City icon with the counter that you added to your side bar is fantastic!! Hope today was a better day, doll.
The dogs are sooo cute! They seem to be comfortable in their new surroundings.
