  Description

  We live on beautiful Galiano Island with our 2 dogs, Arlo & Casco, and queen bee kitty, Betty. Our fenced yard is secluded and quiet, offering a great space to unwind and connect with nature. Short walks right outside our door will take you through coastal forests, along sandy beaches, and sandstone shorelines!

  My animals / pets

  

  Betty (2 years)

  Our Betty girl is an inside/outside cat. You can find her sleeping on the job (not catching mice, that is) in the garden, curled up by the fire, or taking herself for a walk up the road. Sometimes she’s sweet and cuddly, sometimes she’s not. We love her anyway!

  

  Casco (1 year)

  Casco fiasco is a talkative chihuahua, poodle, border collie, cocker spaniel etc etc etc mix! He will play fetch forever, or until you give him a belly rub!

  

  Arlo (5 years)

  Our beagle boy, Arlo! He loves all things food, keeping us all on our toes. Did you leave that plate on the counter for me, you shouldn’t have!!
