Dashing thru the snow.... CousinRosy&Caper

Puppies & Geography & Big Brother

I'll start with Geography. 

I am starting to dread the return to school. Maybe, I don't miss having to do research papers. 

Currently, my block course this turn is in the study of Indigenous/First Nation Geographies and our professor has challenged us to 2 things.

1. To do something creative that represents our idea/experience of indigenous geographies. 

this is so much fun, not. 

I think I'm knowing what I'm doing. 

I'm going to learn to Quilt something. 

Stay tuned for the final project! 

2. To do a research presentation on this topic of First Nation Geographies. 

that's it. nothing else. 

I have an idea --- Something Urban, butI don't know what I'm looking at, or for.

I don't know what my thesis is. 

 NEXT!

In the process of avoiding working on these projects I bring forward some pictures of PUPPIES!

As you may already know, we got a dump of snow. After our beautiful walk at the dog park we hit up another beautiful park. However, unfortunately not enough people go to Forests for the World, and the snow was deep and horrible to walk through. We just let the puppies play in the snow before we went home

 Subsequently got stuck in the snow. This required the help of some good old sturdy men! unfortunately, Ashley's is out of town, and mine was at the work! So to the Dads! Ashley's Dad came to the rescue. Now if any of you reading this are wondering what to get for her upcoming birthday, a small shovel for the car would be great! maybe a collapsable one. I'd get it, but I already have something else in mind. 

Just being Beautiful

FINALLY

anyone else following Big Brother Canada, what do you think? 

Too early to tell? 

I don't know if I ever really watch these types of shows.

Currently chilling out to Criminal Minds. 

Winter Wonderland

So, apparently, Saturday's 7.7 Earthquake is still experiencing aftershocks, including at 6.2 last night. Crazy. We are too far away to really feel them, but every now and then somebody on facebook land mentions they felt something. And you go 'holy crap, still!"

Moreover, the snow continues to fall! Seriously. 

It's now at about 11-12 inches. 

PROOF!

First day of snow. Made the puppies a trail.

Alright.... and I know that I have been on puppy overload recently, but bare with me! 

With it being -20C this morning, I'm extraordinarily grateful that I finished my puppies coats!

They are super cute. And the pattern is unbelievably easy! 

Takes like an hour, two tops to finish the coats.

Daisy rocking her new coat.

Caper's coat. 

I attempted to make them matching booties.

FAIL.

Eric and I just went out and bought them booties.

We struggled with sizes. And ended up with an xxs and itty bitty muttlucks. 

So far, puppies haven't really figured it them out. 

They look so funny wandering around in them, but once I kicked them outside they understood better. 

Trying to get the booties on! 

The look of uncertainty.
What am I supposed to do with these things on?

Anyways, I'm off to catch an airplane to Vancouver!

Time to escape this winterwonderland for the rainy west coast. 

Earthquake

Prince George is inland. We are almost the centre of British Columbia

We aren't on any fault lines.

They say in the 1980s there was an actual earthquake with a local epicentre. 

Today, during my birthday dinner with friends and family, we experienced an earthquake.

It felt like I had had too many to drink. 

Or I was motion sick. 

It wasn't like any other earthquake.

It was more like swaying.

I grew up in Vancouver, we had different types of earthquakes. 

Ones that required you to go under tables and hide in door ways. 

It's reported as a 7.1 off the Pacific coast near Haida Gwaii. 

Playing with Puppies

Yesterday was my Birthday. 

I am now officially as old as my husband. 

For one month.

I had to work yesterday.

It was scheduled for only 3 hours.

But worked more because my TL had a seizure the night before (sad, she's better) and my ASM now has a broken rib from a fall the day before. 

Before work, puppies were dropped off for a grooming appointment. They were then picked up.

When I got home, I wanted to go for a walk and take some pictures with my birthday gift - my new sony nex 5r camera!

So, we loaded up the dogs, I woke up my sleeping husband, and that's what we did.

The fresh snow and decaying leaves are the same colour as my dogs, and we admit, every now and then, it was hard to find them!
