Here are the good deeds (and not so good deeds) that happened in our Coast community this week!
Kisses & Kicks
Kisses & Kicks

Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of October 18!

  • Revived and thankful kisses to Sunshine Coast GM for your always excellent, friendly service, especially this time when you took care of my unexpected small damage, it's disappeared! Thanks for your carwash, always more effective than our other local service!  
  • Kicks to the Davis Bay residents that continue to feed wildlife... bears in particular! Please stop before you are fined and/or another majestic bear is put to its demise and their cubs too. You know who you are. 
  • Appreciation for Paolo and Nicole, owners of Gourmet Girl Cafe, Davis Bay, who, with their staff know how to attract and keep customers. They all consider customers as a priority, which differs from some coffee houses.  They do a great job and the food is first class! 
  • Huge kisses to Dr. Hershel and Dr. Jesse at Gibsons Veterinary Hospital for your compassionate care as we said goodbye to our Simon over the long weekend. We are so grateful for your dedication and kindness. 
  • Sloppy kisses and wet noses to the gals at Canine Spa! They are exceptionally kind and loving, always keeping the dogs calm and comfortable! My dog loves going there and always comes home, happy and looking like a prince! 
  • 15 happy kisses to my family and friends, who drove me to the BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver for my three weeks of radiation. All went well and their personalities, vehicles, different routes, sights and stories entertained me every day. 
  • Grateful kisses to our hard-working, dedicated and caring hospital staff! SOO lucky to have you here! Kisses also to Matthew in the waiting room dispensing such kindness along with his great coffee & nourishment! 
  • Room 221 full of kisses to nurses Emily, Lia & Erin. Nursing clearly is your calling, and you answer it SO lovingly and skillfully! Big grateful hugs! 
  • Thankful kisses to the couple who paid for our lunch at the Village Restaurant on Oct. 1. A delightful surprise for two ladies and a gentleman. 
  • Heartfelt kisses to Dr. Jesse Davicioni for always handling my best friend of 13 years with the utmost care even to the end of his time in this life. Digger will be greatly missed. 
  • Boat load of kisses to my neighbours, Kiki, Jesse & Olivia who came to assist in calming myself and helping to transport a very frightened and frantic 80 lb lab late in the evening. I’m very blessed to have neighbours like yourselves.
