I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce Ellie to the rest of you and let her know she is in BC now...and I hope her new Canadian extended family is happy to see her here and welcomes her with open palms in the traditional high five form, thumbs up, peace signs and smiles...Lots of smiles.
This is Ellie:

The proud owner/operator, Cj with Nibi the water dog in tow.

Notice the shoes on Nibi. We just got back from snowshoeing and I gotta say as a side note...dog shoes RULE for snowsports.
Well, I hope to see more of the "fam" on our highways and BC backroads. Cheers all from the sunny Delicanagan Valley!
