A good lab will do that! By Jet

I am bit worried about leaving New Brunswick and heading for some island named after a prince. I like the Acadians here, even if they have small dogs. They like to sit in a circle and drink Canadian beer and tell stories. I like going around the circle giving each of them a chance to pet me. Once I complete the circle I start all over again. They like me, I can tell. Though I have to admit it is not all on account of what a great dog I am. Partially they like me because there is this young brown lab that is always barking and getting in trouble and basically making me look good. Hey, it works for me and he has years to learn.

Jack London has been having the opposite impact on my life as the brown lab. Or should I say Tom’s reading of Jack London’s “White Fang” and “The Call of the Wild”. These dogs and wolves in London’s novels are quite the amazing creatures. Unfortunately, Tom doesn’t realize he is reading fiction. He reads for an hour and then treats me like I am the luckiest dog in New Brunswick. I admit I have it good, but then again does a dog have to be lost in the wilderness and fight his way back to civilization to be respected?

I am not all that enthused about the Canadian National Parks as they don’t seem to have a dog friendly policy. They treat smokers better then us dogs. What is with that. Tom is good about smuggling me in a few times but looking forward to getting out more when we get into more dog friendly places.
