The warm spring breeze is a little slow to arrive this year, here in the Sea to Sky. But the arrival of the hummingbirds and the butterflies, the garden flowers and newborn green grass emerging from the ground, and the tiny buds decorating the trees and bushes promise for sunnier and warmer days to come. Plus, longer days mean longer outdoor play - rain or shine!

While most of our free time will be spent outside with our pawls, whether we'd be hiking, biking, camping, hiking, or gardening, our furry friends will definitely be working up an appetite. And there's nothing better than coming home after a nice outdoor time and get rewarded with a homemade, healthy treat - even better if there's a flare of spring to it!
