Deborah Wolfe, just back from a trip to Southwestern Florida, tells you about the Olympic sized welcoming that goes with arriving in Vancouver these days. If you are in town for the Games Deborah will tell you where to drive to see 18 eagles in a tree- Did you know juvenile eagles have spotted feathers? If native art is your thing she’ll tell you the museums to check out, the galleries to look at and if you read her redroom blog you’ll learn where you can see artists making both native masks and dugout canoes next to an ancient suspension bridge high above a gorge with rapids and waterfalls, and in a different spot where heels instead of hiking boots will do the trick, you can check out the most amazing glass works and beads plus more. Let Deborah take you by boat right from down town to check out some of the best spots in Vancouver and you can take that boat with the simple price of bus fair, its called the sea bus because it is the cutest little commuter boat you can imagine. If you’re far away be sure to tune into these games because the backdrops will be spectacular. Expect to see beauty from mountains to seascapes and combinations of the two along with the tallest trees the world has and the deep green quiet they command. It is sunny and warm in Vancouver right now (50 degrees) but the mountains have snow! Deborah gives you a hands on snow tip for those in D.C. with dogs whose fur gets bogged down with snow balls. How does skiing in Whistler compare to the ‘mountains’ or hills in Ontario? Deborah explains. The whole world is celebrating and dressing in their country colors making this a very exciting place. Did you know the torch was carried by dog sled on its run through Canada? Man and dog have been partners for a long time and Canada’s northern Native peoples knew that well. Never hire a human for a dog job Deborah explains with airports, cadavers, and getting the medicine there on time.

We welcome you! And then Deborah welcomes guest, Stephanie Smith of Lambda kennels to talk about rattle snake training for hunting dogs. What it is like to be pooped on by a rattle snake and how life brought her both a standard poodle and a red heeler. Stephanie explains some of the p.h.d. reasons for the difference between the way men and women interact with dogs in response to the question; who make better dog trainers- men or women?
