Every peaceful morning at Skaha Lakefront Inn begins with the sound of waves, birdsong… and the subtle clink of Gus plotting his next breakout.
Meet Gus — small, fluffy, fast, and Houdini-level skilled in unlocking doors, slipping fences, and vanishing like a magician at brunch. He’s our resident escape artist, master of the back gate, and self-declared ruler of the neighborhood.
Standing loyally beside him (but usually watching with judgment) is Jack — the older, wiser, and possibly more world-weary dog of the duo. Jack has seen it all. He’s been here longer, knows every guest by smell, and frankly thinks Gus is being “a bit much.”
But do they make a great team? Absolutely.
This Week’s Stats
- Gus escapes: 3.5 (he got halfway through the screen door on Tuesday)
- Jack barks in disapproval: 4
- Number of treats demanded post-escape: 7
- Number of guests who stopped to pet them: Literally all of them
The Latest Escape
We thought we had it all figured out: new latches, reinforced gate, distractions (read: bacon). But somehow, Gus teleported himself to the front garden just in time to greet the mail carrier. Tail wagging. Tongue out. Completely unapologetic.
Jack didn’t bother joining — he just stared from the porch like, “You’ll learn, kid. Or maybe you won’t.”
Moral of the Story?
Gus lives for freedom. Jack lives for snacks. And together, they keep us on our toes — and our guests endlessly entertained.
So if you’re planning a visit and hear some tiny feet pattering where they shouldn’t be… don’t worry. Gus is just doing his rounds. And Jack? He’s probably judging him from the shade.
“At Skaha Lakefront Inn, the lake views are peaceful — but the dog drama is real.”
Come meet the team (furry and human) and enjoy a few laughs, lake breezes, and maybe even a Gus sighting — if you can catch him.
