Hey Oliver fans, so we are on our way to the summer cottage that I used to spend my summers at
growing up here in Vancouver. It's on Keats Island, and Oliver-- we are in my parents' car and
my dad's driving-- Oliver's asleep. I think he's a little bit exhausted from all the traveling
Uh but it's a beautiful day here in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we are heading to the
ferry terminal. And this will be Oliver's very first time on a large ocean going vessel
All right, Oliver, I know you don't know this is coming, but it's gonna be a lot of fun
All right, so now we are at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal here in British Columbia, waiting
to get on to our ferry. It's that big ferry over there in the distance. Oliver can you smell
the ocean air? Are you excited about this big ferry journey? Oliver's like uh I think we're
a little bit overdue for lunch, that's the main thing I'm thinking about. So maybe we'll get some
lunch before we go on the ferry. Oliver maybe we'll feed you some chicken. Come on, let's go.
Oh you're bored?
And we are now boarding the ferry
Go Oliver, here it is! BC Ferries. Come on, let's go, let's go, go go go go go go
We're on to the ferry. Wow!
All right, so here we're in a really beautiful pet area that they reserve for dogs on BC Ferries.
And what do you think, Oliver? I say we have a pretty good view, what do you think of this view?
We haven't set sail yet but we're going to have quite a wind when we do, Oliver,
so we can enjoy looking out. Hey, let's see what's down there.
What's down here, Oliver?
Oh yeah, the ferry dock. Do you see any fish?
Hey Oliver, we just set sail, I didn't even realize it.
Yeah we just set sail. You want to go check out the water?
We're moving! Yeah, you're on a moving ferry vessel. Whoa.
It's beautiful. We're gonna go to one of these islands, Oliver, we're going to go to Keats Island.
It's gonna be really fun. We're gonna go hiking
Probably won't do any swimming though, I don't think you're into swimming
We're leaving Horseshoe Bay, and we'll be arriving in 40 minutes in Langdale.
OK, Oliver, so that's Keats Island right over here
but first we have to get off this big ferry, and then we're going to get on a little ferry
that's going to take us right to Keats Island. OK, Oliver, let's go, let's go have some adventures
[Oliver barks] Here we go, come on, good job
There it is. That's our summer cottage on Keats Island, you want to go check it out
that's where I spent every summer growing up as a little boy. Come on, let's go check it out
Oliver is super excited. Oliver, you want to go check out the inside of the cabin?
Here, let's take your leash off
All right, go ahead. Go ahead.
There's this really big room with an amazing view, Oliver, check it out
Where you going, Oliver? Going in the bathroom?
All right, so Oliver fans, it's morning here on Keats Island, well, actually it's almost noon now
Uh, we're having a little bit of a late start today. And we're gonna go for a hike to Salmon Rock on
the end of the island. It's about an hour, an hour and a half round trip
And the great thing about Keats Island is there's hardly any cars here, it's super safe
And we feel pretty confident letting Oliver roam around off leash
But we are going to bring some treats with us so we can recall him if he goes too far.
So how does the sound Oliver? Wanna go check out Keats Island? Let's go!
Oliver, you're going in the water, I'm surprised.
Oh, slippery
What are you going to do now, Oliver? Oh you made it. Oh, you're getting wet!
Good job, you did it!
That's amazing, I'm so impressed!
OK, so now we're gonna go kayaking in the ocean. We're gonna take these kayaks down to the water...
... and see what Oliver thinks of going kayaking. And he has been kayaking once before in Lake Tahoe
and we already know that he is not much of a sea creature. He doesn't really like getting wet.
So hopefully he'll enjoy the experience.
[Crow caws] [Oliver barks back] Oh, Oliver what are you barking at?
Hopefully you'll enjoy the experience, and check out his amazing doggy life jacket
It is so adorable. Oliver, are you ready to go kayaking? Yeah, you want to go? I take that as a yes.
Or maybe he's just running away from the kayaks, who knows.
All right, you want to get off? Here you go, Oliver
Good job.
You did it, Oliver, what do you think of your kayak ride on Keats Island?
He's got sea legs
OK, that's it.
Hey Oliver, it's a brand new day. Come on, let's go check it out
What a beautiful view. A little bit cloudy today.
That one is giant, and that's also another starfish, I think, right there
He's like, I don't want to be controlled
OK, so we've had a wonderful time here for the past couple days on Keats Island
We have gone kayaking, and we went hiking, and now it's time to go home.
Are you ready to go Oliver? Come on.
No, don't jump in the water! That was scary. Oh you're gonna jump in my lap, oh that's sweet
OK, come on, I don't want to drop you in the water, let's go this way.
OK, bye!
Hey, no no, that's deer poop. No, no, Oliver. Oliver, that's very bad. Look, no, no
[Oliver barks and howls]
