agate cove inn is for rock hounds…

cici greeted nava who greeted her back with barks across the way… nava (means beautiful in Hebrew) is a border collie, puppy, very sweet and playful, black and white. she was chewing a shampoo bottle as i entered the main room.  After breakfast, cici and nava played together, chasing one another, wrestling, and doing what dogs do …

Owners Roger Martin and Laraine Galloway bought the inn three years ago… there are lovely cabins with their own balconies, two are pet friendly…

lovely ocean views via webcam on their website and beautiful gardens… across from agate beach… for rock hounds, you can go down to the beach and dig up some stones….each of the rooms is named after rocks, crystals and gemstones such as diamond, garnet, obsidian, amber, jasper, emerald… we stayed in the topaz room, and it just so happens that topaz is my birthstone.  gorgeous room with all the amenities,  including own porch and balcony,  no phone in the room but there is one in the coffee room along with hot chocolate, tea and coffee … this is open 24 hours a day and there are also books and DVD movies.

breakfast was french toast, fruit, and sausage with orange juice, coffee, tea, fresh hot coffee cake and a pear with yogurt.

polar bears and sled dogs play…

While Norbert Rosing was photographing polar bears in Manitoba near the Hudson Bay, a polar bear suddenly appeared.

He was sure he was going to see the end of his Husky sled dogs.
But the polar bear didn’t seem to be hungry.
just lonely…
And wanting a tummy rub. The polar bear returned every night to play with the dogs.

Polar bears and sled dogs make great play pals.
hmmm…  aren’t these great photos?
