Shih Tzu Happens... Again...

So, after the bear sitings (we saw two!), it was determined that we would at long last become internationally travelled.  We of course had our doggie passports (rabies certificates) in paw and ready for inspection at the border.  We had heard that we had to be examined by a veterinarian no more than ten days before crossing into Canada, so Daisy (being Daisy), made SURE that we got to see a vet on the way to Canada.  She woke up with the squinty eye, and considering her eye surgery history, of course she was rushed to the closest vet (thank you Google Places).  So, $110, a very small bottle of eye drops, and another 18# of Very Special Prescription Only Dog Food later, we were on our way to Vancouver, British Columbia.  Yes, we all made it past border patrol, and they didn't even stamp our passports!  
We drove through lots of evergreen forests, spent the night near Crystal Lake, BC, then stopped along the way for a picnic...

and a wine tasting...

before we finally arrived in Vancouver...
