My four legged baby

Caper Hagell. She is almost her own legend and isn’t even four years old. She has been to almost every province in Canada (except PEI), she has been on airplanes, trains, ferries, stayed in five star hotels, seen both coasts of Canada by car, come face to face with a polar bear, has come nose to nose with a coyote, kayaked, completed a three day canoe trip and been stolen and missing from me for three days. Yep, you read that right!

After mistrusting the wrong person, Caper was stolen from mine and Poncho’s home and was missing and feared lost forever. Although the three days were filled with fear, anxiety and deep sadness at the same time they were so filled with love. It is in those times that you realize what you are made of but more importantly you realize the depth and feeling of those you have surrounded yourself with through the course of your life. Without telling the very long, very indepth story, it’s one of those good news stories where she was back in my arms and some good life lessons were learned.

True to my life, even the first time I saw Caper was an adventure! I purchased Caper from someone in southern Manitoba and making her mine included a solo road trip to pick her up. I had never bought anything from the internet and was convinced that I had likely just handed my hard earned money to some scam artist. Even pulling into the parking lot of the coffee shop, I didn’t really believe that I would leave there with my puppy. When I first laid eyes on her, it was the first time I ever experienced true love, lol. She was soaked to the bone (it was pouring outside) and full of barf (car sick) and shaking like a leaf. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. We drove away and I couldn’t help but pull over so that I had time to cuddle my new stinky bundle of joy!

Caper makes me laugh everyday. She sleeps as much as a cat and has probably broken more hearts than I have. She has had an epic, several year battle ongoing with my sister’s cat. Over the years, she’s been stalked and bitch slapped more than once but keeps going back to her cousin Ida, that’s the true love of family!

Check out the pictures of Ida (cat cousin) and Caper, and some pics of my little puggle from over the years.

Stubs.
