Photos: Auction
Time to BID! With hands flying high, hot dogs being sold and money dropping out of our pockets, it’s auction time! Auction This little auction is just a few miles away from our house and it’s a true farm auction. We’ve been to a few over the last year or so but this is our first time bidding and winning! One of the first auctions we went to was an ‘odds and ends’ sale which ended up being a bunch of farm animals – 10…

National Puppy Day!
National Puppy Day Yes! It’s National Puppy Day! We have 2 dogs, but I’ve only experienced Miss Tiger Lily as a puppy. Bella, from what I’ve heard, was full of energy and had to grow into her big Weimaraner ears. Lily, our Great Dane, was a sleepy puppy that loved to live under the coffee table…now she won’t fit. We got her from Michigan and Delta Cargo was kind enough to fly her to Texas where we lived at the time. As a puppy, she…

Lazy Day!
Lazy Day Lazy Lily sitting in the sun being lazy. This look, it’s a way of asking me what I’m looking at! Nap time. Getting comfortable. Such a cute napper. Basically, at our house it’s difficult to get a lazy day with two active pups. Today, however, we took full advantage of the laziness. Time for naps, treats and a few photos. Bella is such a stinker that she’ll wake us up around 6:30am wondering why we’re not right there to feed her. Really? You…

Snowman Time!
Snowman Time It’s not very often that the snow in Northern Alberta gets heavy and dense like it does in Ontario – the perfect snowman making snow. This kind of snow calls for a high-five, for sure! Bella supervising while Lily hunts for branches for arms in the background. Lily helping, or rather trying to eat the snowman. I didn’t have dogs growing up, and as an adult I’m more amazed by them – I can’t believe how much my pups love to eat snow.…

Photos: LA Zoo
LA Zoo Our visit to the LA Zoo in early October – we got there at 9:50 and were greeted by flamingos rushing towards us! So fun. This Koala is such a cute little site…he climbed on the roof of his structure. He got stuck and it took him about 5 minutes to try and figure out how to get back down – it was my favourite experience of the whole day. Plus, seeing a Koala makes me think of Sheldon Cooper and his Koala…

Snow Day
It’s a snow day! Lots of fluffy white stuff…the dogs love it! I’m mean and didn’t shovel the deck one bit – nope, time to play first and work after, right? Snow Day We live in Northern Alberta and the snow we get here isn’t as fluffy and dense as it is, say, in Ontario. Both Bryce and I grew up with heavy wet snow that was so heavy to lift, yet made great snowmen. I’ve heard that if you take 1 cup of Alberta…
