October at Home

Here is Bronwyn, getting some chilly final use our of the pool in mid-september.

Here is Scamp, after his walk. He just loves mom. We also found out that he has intestinal parasites, this explains his frequent vomiting, he has a very deep rooted infection that may take months to heal completely . He is getting better each day.

New Family Member!

On Thursday we brought home a new addition to our family. We spent all week going back and forth to the Guelph Humane Society, and finally we adopted Scamp! A three year old Chinese Crested mix (Powder Puff variety). He was believed to be from a puppy-mill, purchased at a pet store and surrendered about 10 days ago by a divorced couple who couldn't decide who would keep him. He was shaved down due to the poor grooming his previous owners had provided. They also didn't realize he had a food allergy and was breaking out in little blisters all over his body. But don't worry! He is happy as happy gets now, with his reaction stopped and healing and his silky coat growing back, he is cozy and curled up in his plushy dog bed. He has a great temperment and is a very smart boy. Aidan is thrilled to finally have a dog and the two of them love to cuddle and watch a movie. We are all loving the daily walks and can't wait to see what kind of adventures we will have, as a complete family!

Family Reunion! Napanee!

Aunt Albie and my mum Glenna.

Last weekend, Bronwyn, Glenna "Mom", Rosalie "Grandma" and I traveled 3 hours to Napanee, Ontario for our annual family reunion. It was great to see everyone together enjoying great food and company. It was hot and somewhat buggy but we all stuck-it-out for some hugs, laughs and brownies! I enjoyed a lovely game of boccie with my second cousins, and even Bronwyn tried a roll. So many people asked me if I was/am excited for Montreal and I can't really tell anymore. I think I am, but until I feel all sorted out, I'm scared as all hell. No hesitation just nerves and uncertainty.

We stayed with Mary-Ester and Bob in the country, and I think we all had an amazing sleep. I even saw a shooting star. Bob showed me his garden and he even had some ripe banana peppers! Overall it was a great time, relaxing, greeting and sharing stories, and I even made it back to Roller-Derby on time!
