After a few days at my parents we have returned home. The drive there is about 9 hours one way and both pups did really well in the car. Phod still doesn't love it, but he wasn't sick in the car (we did give him his pill to help). He was sick when we got home. I think he may have drank too much water too quickly as he threw up water. (It was the hottest July 29 since 1892 at 34.3 C/94F + the humidex). Overall they were great! (We will see how Phod does today in the car as I have to take him for his annual check up later today . . . . . . . )

| This is the name of the cottage |
My parents live in Point Clark, Ontario. They live in a renovated and winterized version of a toll house that my great grandparents had moved to this sight in the 1930s. The "cottage", as I will forever call it, has been in the family for about 85 years. My grandmother, who is now 93, believes she was 8 or 9 when her parents got it.
I grew up near the cottage and have many fond summer memories (as it was only winterized 10 years ago and moved from true cottage to house). I love sharing this place with my dogs.

I hope it was just the water and you get good news from the vet today. It's great to have such a cottage what's a part of your family for so many years... it's a great place and I sometimes wish such places could talk :o)

We're having our coldest winter in ages....of course, it just involves a bit of frost....BOL! What a wonderful holiday place and interesting history. We pups think a 9 hour drive and then home to a vet appointment is a bit rough. (We only like short trips and NO vet visits...)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! And 94 for the hottest...haha! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to make memories!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that Phod did well in the car!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great place your family has! When I was a child, we used to come vist my great aunt and great grandmother in Greenwood. I LOVED it and had such wonderful memories of summers. Little did I know that I would first mover there in 1993. My husband loved the area so much, that when work took us away, we kept our house here. Its like living at the cottage!
