For a dog that is half sight-hound and still an impulsive puppy, Pippi shows remarkable restraint when it comes to NOT chasing the ducks.

Dark Creek Chronicles on All Points West with Jo-Ann Roberts is taking a vacation. Tune in to CBC radio (Victoria) every other Monday afternoon at 3:50pm to catch BC Books with Nikki Tate-Stratton. We talk about books of all kinds created by BC writers, illustrators, and publishers. If you're lucky and win the weekly draw, you'll get one of the fabulous weekly book prizes! As always, comments about urban farming, gardening, cooking, and sustainable living are always welcome here on the blog.
