The Pug and I have recently moved out to the west coast and have been spending a lot of time up in Vancouver, BC.  There are so many incredible trails up there with huge moss covered trees, ferns and that deliciously damp forest smell that makes me feel like I’m stepping into Jurassic Park.  These pics are from the more city trails, but I will bring my camera next time we make it out to Fern Gully.  A lot of these trails have been designated as leash optional, which the Pug and I both adore.  He gets to go at his own pace (which means sniffing EVERYTHING) and mom doesn’t have to stop walking every time he wants to stop and sniff.  The little sprints to catch up to mom couldn’t come at a better time either with bathing suit season just around the corner.
