October 8th, 2007 - Thanksgiving Day

Today is a special day for humans, it's Thanksgiving Day. (We're Canadian and we have a Thanksgiving day too but it's different from the U.S.) This is my first Thanksgiving and I am very thankful today because mom and nanna took me out for over 2 hrs to play in the parks. First we went to the University of Toronto campus where I found nice wet grass again... heheheh poor mom she had a fit when she saw my green face. She tried to get a picture of it but I wouldn't cooperate.

It was so hot today. Mom says it's Global Warming. It was 30 degree's when we got home (that's 86 F) but with the humidity it was 100 F!!! People are walking around with shorts and t-shirts on and there were tons of motorcycles out. Everyone is taking their last ride of the season today. Two bikers thought I was really cute when they were stopped for a light :-) I made them smile big smiles. The news said it was the hottest Oct 8th on record and the hottest Thanksgiving. People were out everywhere, even on the beach playing vollyball!! Lots of doggies too.

On the way home from the U of T we went over to the park we like by Canadian Tire and I saw Molly!!! Yeahhhhhhhh!!! I love Molly and she loves me and we play, play, play. Look....

This is me and Molly. She is part Yorkie and part Poodle and she's adorable. See us smiling? Molly likes to jump on my head :-) I don't mind, I think it's fun.

You can see more pictures on my flickr page. See the link below on the right hand menu.

Mom's seniors program pics

Here we go, just like I said. Mom had her Seniors Social on Tuesday October 2nd, and the Minister of Health George Smitherman was there and brought the meal. Actually his assistant Cheryl cooked it :-) Here are the pictures. (by the way, I wasn't allowed to go. No doggies allowed! How unfair).

This picture is of some of the sweets for dessert. There was lots of fresh fruit and a ton of baked goodies. *sniff**sniff* I didn't get any.


This is Minister of Health George Smitherman. He is talking to the seniors before they have dinner. His assistant Cheryl is standing beside him. That's my Nanna in the background in the scooter.








This is George and Cheryl (his assistant and wonderful cook) Cheryl made Chicken Cacciatore for the seniors and one with no meat for mom's vegetarian seniors. Mom didn't give me any of that either!!



These are some of the seniors that attended the meal. Lots and lots of seniors come. Some of the seniors there also come to the Bingo that mom helps with and that I'm allowed to go to. I like the seniors and they like me too.





This is the Minister of Health having lunch with some of our seniors. They are all telling stories and laughing and having a good time.






This is more of the people that went to the lunch. The place was packed :-)







The next day on Wed. we went to Canadian Tire to buy some pots and pans for mom's program and there is a park just around the corner on Church St. before it turns into Davenport. We went there so I can play and Molly and her mom showed up! Molly is 3 months old and she is part poodle and part yorkie and is so sweet. She likes to play too so we were playing with each other for a long while. We had lots of fun and Molly's mom says we can play again another time too. I have to remind my mom to post on my blog when we will be at the park again so maybe Molly's mom will see it and join us.


We are going to Cdn Tire again on this coming Saturday because mom wants to buy me a new crate!!!! One of my crates is still my original one and mom says she doesn't like it any more because I look like an old arthritic lady when I come out of it. It's small and I'm becoming a big girl so time for a new sleepy crate like the bigger one in the diningroom. We might be at the park around 2 pm or so but hopefully mom will remember to post a better time that day before we go because I sure would like to play with Molly again. I'll have to bark at my mom to give Molly's mom our phone number so we can meet now and then and play.

Last night, Thursday, we went to the U of T again so I can play there on the nice grass. Mom couldn't believe her eyes, my paws were black!! And I was all wet!! Again!! I was having a lot of fun *wink*. Mom took me to the groomer last Friday and on Sunday I found wet grass and dirt and now I found it again! hahaha weeeee I had a ton of fun and I now have a white body and black paws! yippee.

I'm feeling much better since I saw the Dr. last Friday too. :-)

Friday August 3rd 2007

These past two days have been so full we are all ready to drop. On Friday we packed up the bbq stuff again and headed over to the islands with a friend of ours named Tom. Tom was fun, he played with me and even took me for a long walk to explore. He even took the grass out of my mouth when he caught me eating it.

I got a real treat too!!! Buddha was watching over me today because while mom was bbq'ing the chicken she went to turn one over and *Plop*! it hit the ground!! Well they couldn't eat it then so mom cleaned it off and put it aside for me later....... yeeeeeeehawwwwwwww people food!! All for me.!!! Wonderful, wonderful.. After the people ate and the picnic table was cleaned up mom picked apart some of the chicken from the dropped chicken thigh, the part with no bbq sauce and no skin on it and gave me some! *wow.... wow..... bow wow*... Can't you hear me smackin my lips??? It was terrific!

We spent hours over there and they breeze was so cool and I ran around in circles and even explored the water pump! I wasn't brave enough to step in it though, the water shoots out of it hard. Maybe next time. Nutso mom didn't take pictures but she swears she will when we go back again and we will go back again. When we got home back to the mainland we all went over to the U. of T. for a bit of playtime before going home and crashing for the day. Well..... except for me because I have puppy power and never slow down! *grins*
