Maggi

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 [...]

Drunk Driver 1 – Maggi 0

Maggi was hit by a car two nights ago.  She wanted outside to go to the bathroom and down Avenue D a car came and made a really horrible turn on to the boulevard and hit Maggi.  She was hurt fairly bad but nothing serious.  The car took off and never even slowed down.  Luckily [...]

It came from the blue lagoon

Maggi grabbing her football out of the lake.  She lives for the water.  While we were up at the lake, she would get her leash, get her football, and go and sit out in the lane trying to guilt me to take her to the lake for yet another swim and a game of fetch [...]

Driving out to the lake

Mark was clowning around in the back seat and somehow got Maggi to wear her water dish long enough to take this photo.

Maggi is now on Twitter.

A Bridge Too Far

On the weekend Wendy, Mark, Maggi and I left Saskatoon and headed to the cabin to get away.  Mark and I went exploring with Maggi and along the way Maggi realized it was far more enjoyable to go under bridges then over them.  In case you are wondering, the video makes it look like there [...]

Disobedient Dog

Maggi isn’t allowed up on the couch but Mark and I came home to her flaked out there. This picture was taken a moment before she realized that a) I was home b) She was on the couch.  After staring at her for a couple of seconds, she wagged her tail a bit, looked the [...]

Christmas 2007

So Christmas 2007 has come and gone. It was an odd one for me. I enjoyed it and Wendy blogged about it here (and she blogged about Boxing Day here). This is Mark’s seventh Christmas and he was the same age I was when my dad walked out a couple weeks after Christmas. I remember [...]

Happy Holidays

Well as I post this I am ready for Christmas.  Every fall I start a spreadsheet and over the following months it gets refined and items picked up.  We were done the bulk of the shopping well before the craziness of Christmas shopping hits and I actually made two trips to the 24 hour Wal-Mart [...]

Maggi while the Blue Jays played the Yankees

She wasn’t as into the game as I was.

Crime and No Punishment

When I was about four, I picked up one of those hangers that socks hang on the rack with while at The Bay in Calgary. I thought it was cool, had no intention of swiping it (street value $0) but my parents made a big deal about how wrong shop lifting was (even if it [...]

Pray for my quick healing

Tonight one of the guys around work had some Harley Davidson dog gear for sale for cheap. I bought Maggi a Harley Davidson denim jacket which means that tonight when I get off of work I get to try to get her to wear it. Considering I was lucky to survive putting socks on her [...]

Contextless Links

Bush the Neo-Liberal :: Read it yourself :: via Mark Cuban on the future of music :: I would say the music industry has put itself in the position of being incredibly stupid. They are dependent on a format, the CD, that few people listen to. Although this is a guess, my guess is that [...]

Talking about living life

Over the last 10 months people have commented over the decreasing amount of fresh content on the site and the reliance on links around here. Someone one criticised me as being a link blogger like kottke.org which I took as quite a compliment as I am a big fan of his blog but they are [...]
