    Description

    Couple just having a tiny hobby farm/veggie patch and renovating their house. We have two dogs and one cat. We are from France and Ireland originally and came to Canada 14 years ago. We love it here and cannot wait to share with world travellers.
    We have a small house in the limit of Duncan, where it's super quiet but you are minutes away from all the convenience. You'll have access to a car so you can go explore on your own or go hike with the dogs.

    Can possibly accept pets

    As we already have two dogs and one cat we would need the pets to meet prior to make sure they are a good fit and can cohabit in the same environment

    Don't let her cuteness fool you she is deadly. Mafia boss; ice queen and she tells you when she wants to cuddle (not the other way around). She loves her fur siblings and always cuddles with them. It's uber cute!

    Quirky and cute I might be only 10% husky but that's my whole personality. In the picture I'm the one who doesn't know personal space and is on top of my brother.
