A furry new paddling companion

I padded this past weekend with a couple extra days since it was my birthday and all, and we took off to the woods on a fairly last minute camping trip. Our friend Mike, who lives in San Diego, was going to be in town and as one of our elite camping/paddling pals, suggested we…

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…

Sick puppy and some knitting FAIL (and success)

After an epic holiday party on Saturday night at the home of Ecoholic with great friends, great food and great tunes, Chris and I expected to get down to business on Sunday and get this attic insulated already. All the weather reports suggested the conditions would be precipitation-free, but we woke up, hungover, to discover…

Right before she tried to eat it

It’s nearly Halloween! And Luna is ready.

Celebrating Autumn

We had a lovely long weekend at Redstone, near Haliburton, although sadly, we closed up shop for the season. Luna had a blast helping keep an eye on the squirrels. For perhaps the first stretch this fall we had warm, sunny days. Such a treat. Luna is 10 months old now and she is so…

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…

Rested and rejuvenated

So I’ve been MIA from the blogosphere yet again but for good reason. Firstly, I’ve been migrating to a new laptop which hast taken some time to get my Aperture library moved (and to learn Aperture 3, which has been completely overhauled from version 2), getting other software installed and bookmarks and address books ported…

Happy Mama’s Day to me

So what if my kid is a dog. Can you believe she is only 5 months old? She looks all growd up already. But she’s not. And she’s over 55lbs now. Yeah, she’s a tank.
