Very good resource here for checking your Vet's or future Vet's rating. Our Vet rated 4.5, and that's about what I'd put him at....no one is perfect! ( Canada and U.S. )
I am constantly amazed with youtube. Did you know that you can whole watch entire films there? Granted, it seems to be mainly the older B&W films, but hell!, I love those! I just finished watching The Best Years of Our Lives ( that link will take you to the IMDB site for info ) I watched it Here
Oh! I got a new program....PhotoShop Elements 7. *happy dancing* I'm going to try my hand at making a background for this blog! Also will be tweaking a lot of photos. But not the following one...my son Kelly took it somewhere on a beach in California. Pretty good eye huh!
Today is going to be spent teaching my girl Ticket to heel off leash.She does quite well on, and is very much a serious girl when it comes to training so I can't see any problems. Wish us well!
I've been going through some old photo folders. I had no idea I had taken so many! Ah well, it's almost impossible for me to delete any photos of my dogs, or family, or friends....so they are all on cd now. Safe and sound. Never will they go into cyberworld if my pc crashes.
But, going through the folders can be fun! Soooo many photos I forgot I had taken, or were sent from family members. Much fun!
Here's a puppy, Jade, who I fostered till her people found her and adopted her. Pitty x, 2 months old, who ruled the roost while she was with us. What a freaking riot she was!!
I am the RULER!! You shall obey me!!
Ummmm, no.
Silly silly boy dog....chicks rule!
Watcher was pretty sure that I had brought Jade home for him. He quite simply adored her, and was terribly distraught when she left.
Till Sean came along! 5 month old Lab, who again, ruled the roost. My guys were no match for his 24-7 exuberance. They did try though!
BARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARKBARK!!!!
Puuuleeeeeze make him shuuuut up!
Sean loved his squeaky toys.
Meeting his "Mom" for the first time.
And the rest of his new pack, his kids.
And this is Leah. 5 month old German Shepherd. She was almost my first failing at fostering.
Understandable why I almost failed right?
I think I have fostered over a dozen dogs now. Well, mostly pups actually. There is a shortage for foster homes for the younger ones. I always prefer them though! They bring alot of excitement into this house with them. My heart has never been broken when they go though, even though I do indeed love them. My house was just a "way station" of sorts, till their rightful families came along.
Hey, if you have some room in your house and heart, think about fostering for your local Animal Control/Pound/SPCA or private rescues. If you don't have the room in your house, but do in your heart, here's a link to 100 Ways to Help a Rescue/Shelter dog/cat
Snow? My good dear friend, I did not expect to see you so soooon! I thought it would be a few more days! Welcome!
Look closely at the snow shadows on the mountain rocks...they remind me of cloud watching as a child ( and an inner child ), to see what I could see in them. What do you see? I see a couple of baboons.
Just a few days ago it was sunny, but crisp. Now, it is again, a winter wonderland! ( well, sorta'! )
Just a stinkin' few days ago it was this!
We get this weirdo thing with our cool air and even temperatures by being nestled in the Cascade Mountain range.
It's settled down to a piss of rain ( fuck you rain! ),and a smattering of the 10 cm's the snow fell. ( whorish slutty roads ) ( can roads be whorish and slutty? I think and know so) I fear the snow will be gone by morning. DANG!
( did I just say DANG! out loud? Forgive me. Please. Thanks. )
( and is it weird to have thoughts in brackets, and then thoughts of those thoughts be in brackets?)
Weird day.
Oh. And it will rain today. Loverly. Fucking wet west coast.
Now, you won't get him unless you are turned on to Canadian Politics. Or really anything Canadian. He takes pot shots at the whole way of Canada.
I guess we can do this stuff to our politicians because we are more tolerant...more relaxed...more open. Free-er...with absolutely no repercussions? ( or do we just smoke more ganga? )
Well, we took off earlier today to the place a friend told me about.....and boy oh boy! What can I say, except all 3 amigos are sleeping off the great time we all had!
Whoooo Hoooooo!! Sand, glorious sand!
What a sad and pitiful chair!
There are First Nations reserves dotted all over my small part of the world. Here's a small smoke house along this beach they use after making their catches.
And a view to the Fraser on the way up the mountain home.
Duck marsh
Although this Bullrush is pretty well frozen solid, it was still velvety soft to touch.
