Christmas 2011

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  After a daring battery run to Walmart on Saturday morning, we met up with the Sieberts for coffee/tea and to exchange gifts and Christmas cheer.  After that we headed out to Warman to Lee and Brittany’s place for Christmas Eve dinner to open gifts.  Wendy talked about the [...]

The weekend

Wendy writes about our weekend on the cabin weblog.  It was a weekend of good books, Chuck E. Cheese, some lacrosse, coffee, and a dog that wouldn’t get out of the bed and a son that wouldn’t stop trying to get back in.  Oh right, this happened. As you can see, it was going good and [...]

37 trips around the sun

I turned 37 today.  Not much of a milestone but it was an enjoyable day.  I fell asleep on the sofa last night so I woke up early to the family and a really sore neck.  After some stretching and straining I got up and opened some presents.  Mark gave me a 70-210mm Sigma lens [...]

Christmas Around Here

I see that both Wendy and Mark have posted about Christmas so I thought I might as well.  I won’t describe the day as Wendy did a great job of doing that but I will ad in that it was a lot of fun to have friends and family around.  For my gifts, Wendy and [...]

Thanksgiving

Wendy posted a fair bit about our Thanksgiving weekend on her blog.  No need to add more here.

Weekend

The weekend started off poorly.  Wendy and I picked up the Festiva last night from our mechanic.  The bill was well below what I thought it would be which is a good thing.  As I was heading home, some moron ran a red and to avoid the collision, I swerved and hit the curb.  Saskatoon’s [...]

Goofing off in the front yard

Two explorers

Maggi and Oliver out exploring at the cabin.

Out for a walk

 

Treating a dog with an ear infection

Over the years we keep getting dogs with floppy ears.  Floppy ears means the occasional ear infection and even more painful for the dog as they can progress to hematoma in the ear.  A vet suggested we use ear medication for humans but a couple of years ago Maggi had a bad ear infection and [...]

Maggi at the lake

We had Maggi out at the lake two weekends ago.  The great retriever lacks the elevation to find her Frisbee when it gets tossed out in the water sometimes and here she heading back to shore so she can get a couple of feet higher and find the disc.   I am not sure if she [...]

Killing the dog

Tonight while tossing the ball to Maggi, I tossed it out on the street.  The ball hit the far curb and bounced back just as Maggi put her head down to get it.  She missed the ball but hit her head into the concrete curb at full speed.  All we heard was a sickening loud [...]

Sleeping away the winter

Apparently Mark and I are the only ones not napping away the gloom that we call January. Oliver has the same grumpy face that Wendy does in the morning.

The inner Maggi

If there is one photo that shows what life is like with Maggi, this is it.

The last weekend at the lake

Wendy, Mark, Ollie, the dogs and I just got back from a freezing weekend at the lake.  We went up on Thursday and got back not that long ago.  Despite the incredible wind, we had a pretty good time and managed to close up the cabin as well. It was most definitely our last weekend [...]
