Dog shovels snow!

The northeast United States has received record snowfalls this year.  And as a word of encouragement to all of those who are sick and tired of shovelling snow, here comes a video to give you confidence:

a Canadian man has trained his Yellow Labrador, Elsa, to shovel snow!

In this YouTube video, Elsa is hard at work clearing snow from the family’s ice rink (yes, it gets so cold and snowy there that families have their own ice skating rinks at home!)

Helping each other – a Valentine’s lesson

On this Valentine’s Day, I hope you will consider your dog your furry Valentine.  Make time for each dog in your life.

And as a little Valentine’s Day lesson, here’s a video of a Labrador helping out his brother so they can get to the dog park:

The canine ambassador at the Fairmont Hotel

At the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton (Canada), you will be greeted by a very special staff member – Smudge the Yellow Labrador!

SmudgeSmudge is a failed guide dog (due to her enthusiastic/over-friendly nature) and so thanks to a working arrangement with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Smudge came to work at the hotel.

Guests can book to take Smudge out for a walk and she will visit meetings on request.  Look for her (on her bed, by the concierge desk) when you are visiting.

Smudge also has her own Facebook page and you can follow her activities there.

Here’s a bit more about Smudge:
