Sepia Saturday - Excuse Me

Can't a guy be allowed to snuggle his toy in peace?

Happy at the park boy! 

PS. Lady is going to be away at a conference in Chicago until Wednesday so we won't be around as much because she will be socializing and drinking learning very important things and networking. 

Sepia Saturday - Still Use It

Even though she keeps peeing on it, and washing has made it very lumpy, Hailey still loves this bed. I don't think it will last much longer because she has decided it is her indoor toilet. (She goes through phases like this)

Someone has become a complete beggar!
We have company arriving today, it should be fun!

PS Our good pals Christmas and Oreo stopped by for a visit. You can read about it HERE.

Sepia Saturday - Our New Trick

We are working on a new trick for both the pups, balancing things on their noses. They don't love this and often cheat, but we are more consistently getting 2 seconds of waiting. 

Often when Phod flips his off, Hailey steals it

Still needing a little support so she doesn't take it too early

Do we have to be done playing?

Man update: The colonoscopy appears to confirm the issues are all just because of the salmonella. Of course a biopsy was done, but the doctor was as certain as he can be without those results that with antibiotics the Man will heal. The Man believes he contracted this from a new breakfast place he tried on Thursday with his co-workers. He thinks it was the ham. None of his coworkers had the ham. Lady says that after 21.5 years she knows the Man a bit better because she got to see the pictures from the scope!

We greatly appreciate all the well wishes, POTP etc. etc. Blogville rocks!

We should slowly be getting back to routine in the next day or two, and look forward to catching up with everyone. We have missed you!

Another natural sepia picture of Zaphod!

Sepia Saturday - Phod

Hey, we don't even need to edit this picture. Phod is already sepia!!!!!

Sepia Saturday - Hailey

Yesterday I wrote about the great toy box emptying last weekend.

Did Hailey find what she was looking for?

I can't say for sure, but she was very happy ripping the stuffing out of her piggy.

Sepia Saturday - Count Down To A Special Day

This picture was taken on Hailey's first birthday. She had been with us 4 months when this was taken.

We will be celebrating her 6th birthday on Wednesday the 13th. We hope you can all stop by and wish her a very happy day!

Sepia Saturday - Hailey

This is the first picture I ever took of Hailey.

It is not the best picture, but it is special because it was the first one I took when she arrived at our house.

It is the long weekend and we have a lot of fun things planned. We are going on a big hike. Uncle Chris and Emma are coming tomorrow for a sleepover to celebrate Uncle Chris' birthday!  It is going to be fun!

Sepia Saturday - Another Catch Up Day

Wow, that was another busy week. Work got the best of me!

First we would like to thank Ms Bree from http://cowspotdog.blogspot.ca for creating this for all those who participated in Safety Week. Thanks so much!

Black and White Sunday: It is really funny to me that I had this huge desire to post a picture of Baggy, not knowing Sunday was black cat appreciation day. Perhaps the universe was sending me a message to help. 

Mischief Monday - Bad Poetry Day:  We do hope that with more exposures, Lee will learn to at least tolerate Maggie. If not, I fear she has lots of crate time in her future. We have been saving everyone else's bad poetry for this weekend and are really looking forward to reading it!

Tuesday - The Man's birthday: He says thank you to everyone for the nice birthday wishes. He had a great day off work. Today we are going to a third birthday celebration for him with friends. It is the birthday that never ends! 

Wordless Wednesday - Super Phod: I do love this picture in that it does show off Phod's muscles that can be lost under his fur. Everyone wanted to know what he was flying after, so this is the picture snapped right before Phod's great leap:

And if you look very close in Phod's mouth you can see his Precious. 

Thursday - I can be brave: We are proud of Hailey for slowly finding ways to be more comfortable in scary situations. She will hide in the closet or basement bathroom in storms or when there are fireworks (which in cottage country is almost every not raining night in the summer). She will settle in her crate when children have invaded, and she is willing to approach new and scary things. Part of the problem is we live so secluded now, she isn't faced with new things very often.

Jackie asked, why the road with the digger is her favourite. There are not many roads to actually walk down in our area. There is the main road with a few  small roads leading to the lake are off. Some of these are private and visiting is not encouraged. We sort of only have 4 roads to walk on, and we always have to turn around and come back the way we came. The road with the digger is a side road that leads to the lake. A mountain is on the left and fields are on the right until you get almost to the lake when houses/cottages appear. There is something about the smells on this road that she loves (and Phod also enjoys). I am not sure if it is wildlife or other dogs (we see tracks of both). This street is our Tuesday/Thursday walk.

Friday - Grief: Thank you all for sharing your stories about grief. Grief is the price we pay for loving something else. It is a steep price to pay, but one I am willing to. 

Our weekend plans are Man's next birthday party, and attending the CFL RedBlacks game tomorrow. We also hope to get to the golf course for some practice and the regular errands.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
