Wolf Doggos

Kananaskis Country

• Got up early for a buffet breakfast and Liz drove Oslo into Banff for doggy daycare at Veronica’s 

• We caravanned to Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary - they remodeled since our last visit 

• We got checked in and started walking the grounds; we stopped at Temple for a Wolfdog wisdom session where we learned about wolves rolling in interesting scents to communicate back to the pack 

• We visited Cascade and Yamnuska enclosures for the interactive tour; Zeus and Kuna were the adoptive mother and father of many rescued wolfdogs - both are high content; Nova is thought to be the highest wolf content Wolfdog on the property (Arctic wolf) and “still lives at home with mom and dad” - very submissive and obedient

• We continued to walk the grounds while the wolfdogs engaged in a coordinated howl 

• We saw the sanctuary staff unload a crate of two wolfdogs from a truck 

• We bought Oslo a banana and Wolfdog stuffed animal (it went to a good cause) 

• We drove to Banff to ride the gondola up Sulfer Mountain 

• At the top, we walked along the platform to the watch tower and took a group picture in the rain

• Matt went down to pick up Oslo from daycare and the rest of us enjoyed souvenirs shopping and warm drinks

• We rode the gondola down and went to Three Bears Brewery for dinner 

• Mom and dad kept asking when we were getting to the teahouse, which became the running joke 

• We shared a margarita pizza and steak lettuce wraps 

• We returned to the resort (or as dad would call it, “the motel”) and turned in for the night 

• Molly gave us our wedding gift a couple of days early - an entire suitcase of SNACKS! 

• “Campground”: Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge
