Then and now

It really is amazing how much a dog can grow in basically 10 weeks: And there really is no better place to sleep than under the bed. Smokey likes to make himself King of Luna’s Castle when she’s at daycare. Chris found Smokey sleeping in her bed, in her crate, the other day.

Some older Luna video

I’m trying to catch up on some videos that I have saved up. This one is from Valentine’s Day weekend in February, when we took Luna to the cottage for the first time. She was about 10 weeks old here. It’s not overly thrilling video, but she’s super cute, playing in the snow, all little…

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…

What have I gotten myself into?

Yeah, I know, she’s super cute. She’s friggin’ adorable. She’s smart as a whip. Hilarious to watch. But she’s also a bit of a nightmare at times. A nightmare I was so not prepared for. Trust me, I love this creature, most of the time (kidding, kidding). But I am having a hard time of…

Qiviuk! Qiviuk!

Have I mentioned what a fabulous, incredible, loving and supportive boy I have in my life? So supportive he buys me Qiviuk, not once in my life, but TWICE? This was my prezzie that Chris brought back from his ski trip out to Lake Louise, which from the photos is absolutely friggin’ gorgeous and I…

Super pup

I forgot! My friend Leanne had her camera and took some really cute shots of Luna and Lola (in the background above) at the fabulous Stratford Dog Park. I just love the flying ears in this shot. Thanks Leanne!

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….
