Pam and I were over on the North Shore today. She had some things to do, so Max and I decided we’d walk around and check out the old haunts. When we first moved to Vancouver 25 years ago, we lived for a number of years on the North Shore. We walked along the tracks by the Lonsdale Quay. There are a number of small statues with park benches beside them, set in tranquil, garden areas.

We piled in the car and drove by the old apartment we used to live in, and it is a real dump now. The building is run-down, in need of a paint job in the worst way. Lots of pieces of the stucco have fallen off, and it’s overgrown with moss. Kind of sad really…

We moved north, up the mountain to wander around Victoria Park on Keith Road. They have a nice War Memorial, in a well manicured park. Lots of other dogs were out, and Max had a nice time playing with a few little guys.

We walked further north and saw this statue of a Grizzly Bear by Ken Clarke. Max was feeling protective I guess, because he simply would not let this bear alone! He charged around him, barking and acting very silly! People walking on the street stopped to watch him go nuts! haha Hope you enjoy the movie!
