So arrive at the hotel, somewhat flustered trying to manage crate, suitcase and a very very eager dog! Think Otter's first impressions of Canada might be somewhat muted by the unimpressive industrial estate surrounding us, lacking the wide vistas promised in the brochure but I think he was just glad to be out of the box!
He came out happy as a happy thing - no 'accidents' and surprisingly no pressing need to stand by a bush for 10 mins! Hotel was fine and we had a room on the ground floor for ease of access.
Unfortunately 30 mins later nearly lost him under a truck as the unimpressive industrial estate sprang a few surprises in the form of a couple of snowshoe hares...this is the dog that is so uninterested in bunnies that the local rabbits in the New Forest just used to stand there whilst he wandered past....well hares must have some pheramones cos he went mental at the first sniff and tried to hurtle across the road! Fortunately the collar held (tightened up afterwards!) so I didn't have to explain to Shaun how we have spent over $1,000 for about 40mins of dog!!Deep sigh of relief when we got back to the hotel!
Otter with IoW chew bone and the infamous 'house'
Spoiled mercilessly at dinner with half a burger, chicken strips off my cesar salad, garlic bread off the salad, plus the croutons, basically I had lettuce! plus his pasta and chicken.....well, we have missed him!
Someone's had a busy day!
