New Toy

My Lady found the best toy.
It is a stuffy that makes a great sound (it sounds like a duck) and pays off in cookies. Here I am playing with it!

Here is the toy

Feline Friday - Making a Break for it!

Last week we had wonderfully warm weather, it felt like summer, it was awesome! Several times during that week I had the door open and I would turn to see this - Baggy on the deck!                                                                                                He never  got further than the deck because Lee would go out and start to make her "upset" noises and herd him back in. I think it was one of those moments that Baggy hated Lee. He really wanted to be in the sun, or checking out the birds in the hedge!  

Happy Birthday Baggy!

Bagheera turns 17 today! We are so thrilled to have a senior pet.

Happy Birthday Baggy!

3 fun Baggy facts:

1) In his youth he would open the freezer and take out and eat bread.

2) He once ate the magnet from the bottom of the shower curtain. It got stuck in his intestines and we had to have it surgically removed. Yes, we still have the magnet!

3) Baggy once successful caught a mouse that was in the house. He truly is our panther!

Wordless Wednesday - Snuggles with my Lady

Agility I is done!

Last night was week 6 of Lee's Agility 1 class at Ottawa Canine School. She has done exceptionally well this time, a lot of this has to do with the fact that her man is a much better handler then her lady:) She has been asked to join an agility 2 class and will start this on Sunday.

Here is her last run in agility 1. She made her lady proud!

In Loving Memory of Max

It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the death of one of our extended pack members. Max, one of my parents dogs, was called to the rainbow bridge today after a short battle with cancer.

Max joined our pack in July of 2011 at the age of 3. He was the lab that gave labs the reputation of being the perfect pet. He was kind and gentle and mellow. He did like to lunge at cars and a few times wandered away, but overall he was a wonderful guy.

Today we sent our love to Tendra, Grammie and the Big Guy. We know all to well the heartbreak they are feeling. 

Max, you weren't with us long enough

and saying goodbye to you will be very tough.

We will miss your slobber and goofy smile,

And walking you for the 100th mile.

We will miss you sitting at our feet,

and all the times you took my seat,

we will miss you lunging at the car,

and the stories of you walking away to far,

you were one of the nicest guys we know,

it is so sad that you had to go,

but perhaps  we will meet someday,

on the eternal beach to forever play!

Visitor

Several times recently, I have spotted this friend in the yard. Sorry the pictures aren't better, but I didn't want to open the door and let the beast out (the pictures were taken about a week and a half ago, when we still had snow!)

 We have had one dog (our Loki) catch a bunny in the backyard, that is enough for me! I hope this bunny moves on soon!


On our walk this evening, we say a bunny and Lee was frozen in hunting mode. When she finally heard us, she turned and walked into a street sign. It was hard not to laugh!
