T minus 8

Our wedding is right around the corner!! I can hardly believe it! We’re all ready to go; have just been doing some last few things as the countdown begins in earnest. There really isn’t anything major left to do but start carting loads of things up to the cottage, which we intend to do this…

Puppy love

We pined for her while we were away. She missed us for about a day and then got over it, ’cause Grama had the treats and filled her bowl! I’m sure she’s well over 80 lbs now. AT 8 MONTHS OLD. I really can’t fathom the idea of her continuing to grow, but it’s a…

Luna’s first trip to Doggie Central

I’m finally getting a chance to edit more of the videos we’ve taken of Luna over the last couple of months. This one is from her first trip to Doggie Central, an indoor dog park out in Mississauga. They have lots of play sessions throughout the week but so far we’ve only been to their…

Happy 4 month birthday, Luna

Well, here we are. We’ve survived a whole 10 weeks without strangling her, abandoning her on someone’s porch or sending her to the pound. We’ve had a bit of a rough go of it but in the last week or so Chris and I agree that things seem to have (mostly) turned a corner. I…

Perhaps I spoke too soon

OK, I’m a moron. The reason no one is ever at the off-leash dog park at Woburn Park (Bathurst & Cranbrooke in North York) is because there is a way better dog park only about three more blocks farther north, called Ledbury Park. Now in my own defense, I had Google Street Viewed the area…

As I bite my nails and watch team USA outscore us…

I need to do something to distract me from the terrible officiating of this USA vs. Canada hockey game and the screaming sinus headache that’s been plaguing me all day. I don’t have a lot of great photos or a lot of great news… I went to the farm this weekend with my pup, all…

Big weekend at the cottage

Chris and I took Friday off so that we could do up a big Family Day / Valentine’s Day weekend at the cottage. It’s the first time we’ve been able to get there this winter, and of course this time we had the added challenge of taking Luna on her first big weekend road trip….

Luna, in moving pictures

I’ve finally found a bit of time  to figure out this newfangled video thang we have called the Canon EOS 7D, particularly to investigate if I could deal with the 7D’s super huge HD video on my own Mac (Chris has Final Cut on his machine and has invested a lot of time learning how…

Our new mistress of the night: meet Luna

Well well well. It has been one heck of a week at la casa del Mulholland-Kebbel. And it’s only Wednesday! Where do I start? It’s kind of like we had a baby. A fury black one with razor sharp baby teeth and two speeds — full bore or all stop. World, meet Luna. She’s a…
