It’s been tough for Bailey with us cooped up in the house for weeks, so the other day we took her to Central Park. It’s a wonderful oasis in the center of Burnaby, a city right beside Vancouver. And when I say right beside, I mean one side of the street is Vancouver and the other side is Burnaby – why they need two mayors, two councils, two bureaucracies is beyond me.

Anyway – right on the edge of the park, there is a war memorial for those who died in the Korean War. Entitled “Ambassador Of Peace” the tall bronze with outstretched, embracing arms is an attractive statue, well made, and nicely placed. The names of the dead are set in a ring around the statue.

We wandered into the center of the park and found a duck pond to drive Bailey to distraction. She stopped to make a few friends along the way (and by a few I mean forty or fifty).

Bailey is not a camera hog like Buck, and to some extent Max. In fact, she will often look away when you point the camera at her. One way we’ve discovered is lag a little and she’ll turn around wondering what’s keeping you!
