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.

A fine Saturday morning. The perfect kind of morning for strolling around the harbour. Burgeo

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.

He loves the beach in the off season. In summer we take him to the beaches accessible only by boat so he can be free.

A morning at Sandbanks Park after a storm. The beaches are always beautiful and a great place to shed your stress. Burgeo

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.

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.

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.

The sound of the wind and the roar of the waves can silence the noise in your head. Second beach, Sandbanks near Burgeo

It is sad. You HAVE to put yourself first and I hope and pray stepping back helps you do that. Thinking about you 💐🙏

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.

If you can’t get to the beach to help you de stress, here’s a video starring Chum to help you. It’s first beach, Sandbanks and it’s the stormiest part of the beach.

There is not a chance on God’s green earth that I will go to the US either. ( yes I have traveled there before this madness)

It’s chilly, blowing a gale, the odd snow squall, but the best thing in the world for stress. Sandbanks is amazing no matter when you go there.
