It’s a soggy weekend here on the wet west coast of BC. The joke goes… we don’t tan here, we rust. 😂 My husband already took Ivy for a nice long walk this morning, and I’ll head out with her again this afternoon. Today, I’m going old-school vinyl raincoat instead of my Gore-Tex gear -- keeping it slow and skipping the hills so that I don't end up wetter inside my jacket than the outside. 😅 Ivy doesn’t mind the rain. No jacket for her. She just gets a quick towel-down when we get home. When we first adopted her, she hated it, but with gentle handling and treats, she came around. Now it’s part of the routine: towel, zoomies, couch rub. 💭 What about you and your dog? 💧Do you splash through puddles or power-walk for survival? 💧Raincoats — people, dogs, or both? 💧Toweling off — love it or loathe it? 💧Washing feet — every time or only when muddy? 🐾🧼 How do you and your dog handle rainy days where you live? 🌦️🐾 🏡 🛌

Anyone here got a paddle pup? Or thinking about introducing your dog to a board, kayak, canoe, or boat? We’ve got a few members already living the dream with their adventure dogs on the water. I’d love to hear your stories— - Where in the world are you paddling? - What kind of dog is your paddle partner? - What routines or hacks make it smooth sailing? - And what’s the one thing you’d change if you could? @Jennifer Antonchuk and @Charlie Summerfield I know you’ve both got paddle pups—come show off your four-legged first mates and make the rest of us landlubbers jealous 😍🐾🚣‍♀️ Drop your pics, tips, or funny fails below 👇 Let’s get a little wave 🌊 of conversation going—whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just dreaming about trying it out!

Anyone else ride with a dog at their side (or in a trailer, basket, or backpack)? Or maybe you’re dreaming of taking your pup along on two wheels someday? We’ve got some members already shredding and cruising with their canine copilots. Let's swap stories! - What kind of terrain do you ride? - What setup do you use (side running, trailer, basket, backpack)? - What kind of dog is your cycle sidekick? - What works brilliantly on the road or trail? - And what’s one thing you’d change if you had a magic wand? @Amy Remark @Curtis Vollmin I know you’ve clocked some miles with your dogs—care to share your top tips (and maybe a pic of your sidekick)? 🚲🐾 Let’s hear your hacks, your routes, and even your wipeout stories. Make us all want to pump up our tires and roll out with our pups!

Or maybe... stay-at-home dog? Or perhaps you’re dreaming of a bike buddy soon! Before you hit the trails with your pup,It’s essential they have the right anatomy and are physically fit for the ride you’re planning. Conditioning and warm-ups are key! 🏋️‍♀️ Consider their TEMPERAMENT: - Will they stay calm if your bike wobbles or if you have an ungraceful dismount? 🙀 TRAINING plays a big role, too: - Many dogs stick close while you’re moving, but what happens when you slow down or stop? ⚠️ Then there are the ENVIRONMENTAL factors... - What will the temperature be like? 🥵 - Can their paw pads handle the surface? 🦶 And MORE...Let’s not forget about wildlife, 🦌 road crossings, and the age-old question: - Leash or no leash? - Front, behind, or beside—what’s the best side? ⏪ ⏩️ I’m putting together a BIKING WITH YOUR BUDDY mini-course. In the meantime, share your photos, tips, challenges, wins, or if you prefer shredding the trails solo. 🚲

What’s on your bucket list? The number one thing on mine is to visit all the USA’s National Park with my Moony girl!!
