Presenting our second special guest: Beni!

She is a rescue dog from California. When she drove home with her new forever mom in May 2017, she was terrified and shook like a leaf the whole drive from Maple Ridge to Kitsilano. She soon settled in and now she is very happy. She is very shy at first, but after meeting you a few times, she will fall in love with you! Although she doesn’t understand how people can be in computers, she looks forward to meeting you at Kaleidoscope, and potentially in person at some point in the not-too-distant future.

Meet this good girl and other furry friends tomorrow during our virtual pet playdate! Everyone is welcome, with or without a pet. We will also have a general show and tell, where you can show off a pet project, favorite item, or hobby.

Presenting our first special guest: Lahey!

Lahey is a 4-month old furry ball of excitement. Many people confuse him for a Bernese or Border Collie, but he’s actually a mini Australian Shepherd! He loves to play with big sticks, instead of his fancy toys. He likes to say hello to every rock, tree, human and dog that he encounters. He gets hiccups sometimes and is very baffled by them!
