Mom keeps forgetting to post my adventures here🙄 I mean really… it’s been a mud spa taking (x2), brook exploring, boat navigating, wharf inspecting kind of week. Yes I love mud, no all the swimming did not get the mud out, yes I heard mom has smelly stuff to put on me. Not happening. Life of Chum.

It’s been an incredibly busy summer! I watched my human sister get married, we went on road trips, cabin trips, boat trips, and of course, the odd mud bath. I still managed to get some wharf inspections done but it’s been hard. So much fun, and so many adventures. Life of Chum.

It’s been a summer of lots of adventures. Yesterday was my birthday. I was nine. Mom and dad took me to the no leash cabin. I can run free, sleep in the bed, chase squirrels, cuddle with Lamie, and have a ball. Life of Chum.

Are those of you who know, you know how much Chum loves mud. We went to our cabin for a couple of hours, and this was the result.

Me, mom and dad went on an epic camping adventure from ON back to Nl for 26 days. Even though it was a ton of fun I’m glad to be home. Here’s a couple of pictures from my adventures. Life of Chum.

Sandbanks provincial park in Burgeo NL is just gorgeous and I feel so blessed to live here. It might be cold today but the beach walk was worth the extra layers.

I’m the bestest boy at the bestest beach; Sandbanks. I played with friends, posed for pictures, snuck a bit of seaweed( ok, ok a lot of seaweed) and convinced mom to take the trail. I tasted the bog water with my feet and even had a snow bath. Life of Chum.

It’s the most beautiful place around; Sandbanks provincial park in Burgeo. Chum thinks it’s the most amazing place to meet friends, taste seafood and run.( leashes are required when the park is open) chum caught up with all his buddies this morning.

Little Barasway, which is the area pictured in the video is only accessible by boat. If you are a kayaker you might want to take note of this place because it is accessible in inland Waters for kayaks. It’s a very beautiful precious unspoiled area. It’s close to Burgeo. those are all Sandy beaches

I’ve had the bestest day because I’m the bestest boy. Mom took me for a Harbour walk in the morning and wharf inspection and then in the afternoon mom and dad took me to my favourite place, little barsway. I ran and ran and ran. I had a snow bath and ate seaweed.I’m so exhausted now.Life of Chum

I am just the bestest boy. I was free from the road and I took full advantage. I snowbath slid down the hill, marked all my favourite spots, ran everywhere but kept a close eye on mom. I shared my treats( reluctantly) with Shadow, ate delicious treats and had the best morning. Life of Chum.

The beach is the bestest place. I’m free for most of my run, I get to sneak seaweed treats and drink from the stream. Life’s simple pleasures. Life of Chum.

In the insanity that is the world today, we try to find peace in nature. Sandbanks beaches calm the mind and make Chum happy at the same time.

A beach day is the perfect way to start the day. There was a ton of seaweed to snack on, friends to greet and trails to explore. It might have been cold but I didn’t mind. Life of Chum.

It’s drizzly, cold and we have the place to ourselves! The seaweed is delicious, the waves are cool and I’m off leash the whole time. I stealthily ate so much seaweed( burp), found a place for a snowbath and bummed( I mean earned) a few treats. Life of Chum.

Sandbanks park in Burgeo, NL is the best medicine for dealing with the chaos in the world today. No matter the season, a walk on the beaches with the wind and waves will clear your mind. We are blessed to live here.

I’m just the happiest boy! The truck is fixed and that means a beach day. I greeted my friends, had an awesome snack of fresh seaweed, smelled the air, took pets from walkers and hung out patiently while Mom took wave pictures. I’m just the bestest boy. Life of chum.

The latest storm that’s pummelling metro completely bypassed the south West Coast. So Chum and I managed to get out for a nice long stroll. Thinking about the backs of our followers as they move that white stuff out of the way.

This is the space between the first and second beaches. After hearing about the horrific news about the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, I came here to try and achieve some peace. I hope this video helps you too🙏

Another day, another beach run. Mom was late getting ready so my friends were leaving. I greeted everyone and then I started my zoomies, my exploration and posing. Dad said mom has more pictures of me than of anyone else. Well, I am gorgeous. Life of Chum.

An early morning walk at Sandbanks is always a great way to start the day. I took mom along ( cause I have to) I read the smellmail, ran free and left Chum smells everywhere. I posed for mom cause she loves pictures of me and I ate tons of seafood. Then I spotted a caribou. Life of Chum.

I’m not sure what’s up but I’m loving it. Two days in a row mom took me for adventures at the beach. The first 2 pictures are yesterday, the last two today. It’s awesome! I played, ate seaweed, did zoomies, posed for treats and just loved every minute. Life of Chum.

Mom is back on her feet so I decided she had to go to the fisherman’s wharf. I tried to be careful with her but I was so excited that I may have pulled a little. I wiggled waddled down the road, filled her loot bag, left smells everywhere, looked for ducks and snacks. Life of Chum.

This is a 360 video from the fisherman’s wharf. It’s one of Chum’s favourite places. I hope its peacefulness makes you smile. And yes Chum makes an appearance at the end.

It’s a freeze your toes kind of day. Dad took me for a stroll cause I had to get out but now I’m going to hang out with mom in front of the wood stove and practice seeing how many balls I can fit in my mouth .It’s a Golden thing, you probably wouldn’t understand. Life of Chum.

I don’t know what any of you think but I love these pictures of a wave breaking on first beach , Sandbanks. They are as loud as you can imagine.

karenhare.bsky.social @karenhare.bsky.social · 17/01/2026
We barely got out for runs in forever so I was so excited that mom couldn’t even get a posed picture from me. I’m so excited to run the beaches, leave Chum smell everywhere, eat fresh from the waves seaweed and do zoomies. Can you tell I live Sandbanks?! Life of Chum.

The aftermath of yesterday’s storm. The second beach at Sandbanks is gorgeous even if the seas are still raging.

karenhare.bsky.social @karenhare.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
And it’s another beach walk morning before the rain comes. I made the most of the rest of the snow with a snow bath, a seafood brunch and runs around the incredible seaweed. So much to eat, so little time. Every day the beach looks different. It’s my personal racetrack. Life of Chum.

Even though I had mom up many times last night to do my business, she was still kind enough to take me for a Sandbanks run! I met Remi, ran like a wild horse across the dunes, ate some seaweed and had a snow bath to try and clean off the remnants of last night…Life of Chum.

It’s a glorious morning here in Burgeo . We call these days Brewers because bad weather is coming so we have to take advantage of the beach when we can. Chum made sure to taste test everything he could, take in the views, pose for pictures, and wait impatiently for me to take pictures.

Mom loves me soooo much cause I’m the bestest boy( most times) she keeps treats in every coat pocket and I know the optimal time to bum ( I mean ask) for them such as as soon as I get in the truck. We went to the beach and I was the happiest boy. I had a snow bath, seaweed and zoomies. Life of Chum.
