Photos: Daphne Turns Two
Daphne turns two – that’s right, our sweep pup Daphne is now more than 2 years old – so wild! She spent her first night at home with us in December 2019 and we have loved her ever since. Daph-Daph is full of sass, is particular about treats, and loves to run. She’s a nap-a-holic and gets two walks a day. Oh, and during these hot summer days she’s likes to hide indoors by the ac vents. Ah, just a little spoiled, yes. Okay –…

Travel: Siffleur Falls Hike
Siffleur Falls hike – this easy, yet wonderful hike is about 3.5 hours from our home. The trail is full of mountain views, fresh air and clear glacier running water. If you’re looking for a backcountry experience then give this hike a try! It’s about 1.5 hours north of Lake Louise, and about 2.5 hours east of Red Deer – on highway 11. The drive itself is beautiful, too! You know who loved this hike? Daphne! She’s a total mountain dog and loves jumping up…

Photos: Daphne Gets a Haircut
Daphne gets a haircut! Well, this is her fifth big haircut and she’ll be two in July. She’s an Afghan Hound and her hair keeps growing and growing. She’s such a pretty pup, but her long hair is a magnet for sticks (sometimes branches), dirt and all things wilderness. Back in late April she got a haircut and looks like a totally different pup – same sassiness, though – no worries there! Okay, let’s check out some before photos. Before This bed is her favourite…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 4.0
Woof Wednesday 4.0! I don’t think I’ll ever stop sharing photos of Daph-Daph here on the blog, so Woof Wednesdays are officially a thing, especially considering we’re running the fourth edition! Bella and Lily had a couple of Woof Wednesdays, too. Okay, today we’re celebrating having Daphne the Afghan Hound in our lives for one year (well, one year and 3 weeks today!) – these photos were taken on the exact same weekend one year later. She’s grown so much. Such a cutie. She was…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 3.0
Woof Wednesday 3.0! Time to show off a few pictures of Daphne the Afghan hound. The best photos are the two below. A little before and after her very first hair cut. Don’t worry, we didn’t cut the hair on top of her head! Check it out – she’s looks like a different pup, yet I assure you, she’s the same loveable Daphne! Plus, now we get to see more of her personality and expressions – she’s not so fluffy anymore (yet it’ll grow back…

Project: Deer Fence
Deer fence! What? Yes, we installed a 6.5 foot deer fence in May. It took us about 3 weeks from beginning to end (we worked about 4 full days, and then a couple of hours on odd evenings). Deer Fence Bryce had to brush cut more than 2000 feet of paths so we could get the fence in, and we gained a bit of land on the west side since the markers set back in 1970 were way, way off. Happy we got a land…

Project: Stay Home
Stay home – with everything that’s going on right now, staying home as much as possible is best. I know that Daph-Daph loves when we’re home. So, what to do? Recipes! Projects! Sewing! Things that move to the back burner…travel planning (and you know how much I love travel planning). Okay, I’ll share with you three of my favourite things to do when I’m home – something to feel productive, something fun, and something to eat. I mean, snacks. Who doesn’t love snacks? Stay Home:…
