Folks, I hate to add to the stack, but... I need help

Bailey, my pitbull-corgi, may have cancer. An emergency late-night visit just led to this horrible discovery.

Bailey is my whole world and I failed to plan. I am sorry. Any help you can offer at this link is welcome.

My husband was one of the people that put on the display in the sunken gardens at the museum. I'm so proud of him! <3

Thrrr little piglets munching (& making adorable grunting sounds) on vegetables. One is black and white spotted, one is brown with black spots and one is mostly brown.

Everyone in the #yyjbike community needs to hop on their bikes and ride up Lochside to say β€˜hi’ to the new little piglets! They are adorable (making the cutest little grunting sounds). I just noticed them on my way home last night and literally slammed on my brakes to stop for a visit. 😍🚲 πŸ–

I love maintenance free things. My #ebike belt drive and internal gear hub never needs any cleaning, oiling, anything. After almost 3 years of commuting almost every day in #yyj and #saanich. No squeaky or rusty chains, or sketchy shifting. It just works. Awesome! #cargobikelife

I learned the @victoria.ca bike valet at city hall hit their all time single day record with over 370 bikes on Deuce Day Sunday. Kudos to the bike valet team for handling a huge surge. Next time a decicated bike valet on site would be needed for sure! πŸ˜€ πŸš΄πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ #yyj

Had to go out to pick up dinner after I got home from work. Stopped at a local farm stand to grab some cherries on the way. Couldn’t wait til I got home to eat some. πŸ’ 🚲

Beat the summer heat at the beach! Fit our stuff and a little sun shelter in our cargo bike and parked at a rack steps from the sand. Love shoes like Natives for pedaling and beach walking #cargobikelife #yyj #saanich

Tired as usual these days, yesterday was a bike+bus day.
I took the bus for 30 min (β‰ˆ19 km) then biked the last 25 min/7 km to my doctor’s office.
After work the next bus wasn’t for 26 minutes so I biked all the way home (1 hr/23 km).

Reason #2467754346 why Cargo bikes make great car replacements: you can bring something large and awkward (like an inflatable paddle board & paddle) β€˜just in case’ you might use it when you meet a friend for a swim. I didn’t end up using it but was glad for the option.

It’s been a while since I had any cargo bike newbies join me for a ride but last week some friends came over on the holiday Tuesday and one of the passengers in this photo really wanted to check out the new splash park near my house.

I use my cargo bike for everything- including taking the garbage and Organics bins up and down our long driveway.

Checked out a new cafe, Azure Pier, in Brentwood Bay on Fri. Nice to have bike parking out front. Can’t beat the patio (on a dock in the bay) & the latte was great! I’ll definitely be spending time here in the future! It’s so quiet all around there (no heavy traffic noise on the patio). #CSaanByBike
