Doings
I've spent the last several days pleasantly in early summer domestic pursuits. On Thursday, I went downtown to investigate a new produce market I had read about in the paper. More of a stall than a market per se, it nevertheless proved to be what could be a welcome addition to downtown. It is run by chefs, who volunteer their time, and all the ( Read more... ) -
Sadness
My friend Judith phoned me earlier this evening to tell me that her beardie, Henry, is very ill and not expected to live more than a few days. He's had a tumour on his lungs for some time, and it has finally caught up with him; he's not eating and is failing fast.

A pleasant Sunday
After slothing this morning, reading the Globe and Mail (see previous post), the d's and I went for a brisk walk in Mt. Doug park. No camera this time, as it was cold and I didn't have a lot of time, but I saw many things that I would photograph if I had nano-camera things in my brain:- sun slanting through the forest

Total Doggy Cuteness
I just have to share Storm's Story, a YouTube video recording a year in the life of a beardie rescued after Hurricane Katrina. The shots of the dogs after the hurricane made me cry, but also very glad that I sent a large donation to the Humane Society to help with rescues. Storm is obviously a lucky dog; he looks so happy and loved. Beardies are ( Read more... ) -
Walkies!
The dogs and I went for walk today with them on leash and me really walking fast enough to be breathless. Probably only about 3 km return trip, but that's 2.9 km further than I could go three months ago. Go me!! We went down to the West Song waterway for the first time in so long I can't remember - my hip had been so bad that it was painful ( Read more... )
