Black and White Sunday

This week I was preoccupied with finishing a 30 page paper on the joys of health promotive environments. But, like any good mom, I still take millions of pictures of my babies, especially my furbabies.

Mom, I'm ready for my close up

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

Watching for Ashley

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. 

B&W Sunday

Black & White Sunday is coming early this weekend. I already sneak peaked some pics yesterday on Instagram. After a week at the boarders, our dear puppies were in a desperate need of bath time. Needless to say, nobody was impressed.

Black & White Sunday

Last night my Sorority girls came over. 

Miss. Daisy was right at home.

She was the centre of attention - almost the whole night.

sorry, crappy photo on instagram.

Letters to Santa

Tales and Tails have written letters to Santa from their dogs... I know it sounds silly, but it kind of sounds fun. Just like how i really wish I had taken them for photos with Santa.

Here's one from Daisy.

Dear Santa,

I hope you can find me. I've switched homes from last year, but I'm so very happy at my new home, with my new mom and dad, and even with my obnoxious little brother. I've been a very good girl this. I never get in trouble, and I always come when called. I know there have been a few times I got lost, and a few times I had accidents in the house, but I know my way home, and the vet fixed my leaky bladder.

For Christmas, I want you to bring Caper his own bed. I really don't like sharing the one brown bed we have. He sometimes thinks it's his, but it's really mine. But aside from that, I dont need anything. I don't really like toys and I really don't want any toothbrushes, though I do know that mom and dad would like that very much!

Anyways, I'll try not to wake mom and dad with my barking when you come to visit. Though you'll need to be super quiet and come in when I can't see or hear you.

Always good,
Miss. Daisy.


Here's one from Caper

Dear Santa,

It's my first Christmas. Mom keeps talking about presents and people, and the house looks totally different now. I think I've been nice, but I might have been more naughty. It's not my fault! I'm still a puppy and I'm still learning. I love chewing on things, so for Christmas can you bring me some more toys, maybe some with out stuffing, since mom and dad get angry when the stuffing is sprayled across the floor of the living room. I love the squeakiest ones possible please!

Also, I'm thinking that the best Christmas gift would be training lessons. I don't come when called, and I 'm not very well behaved. Daisy could also use some work and thne mom and dad would love us more.

Let Mrs. Claus know that I don't need any clothes. My poodle coat is warm enough, and I dont want to look ridiculous. how am I supposed to get the ladies?

Thanks! I'll try to be better, and stop chewing and eating on everything.
Caper

B&W Sunday 12.23

Christmas Photos

With Christmas now looming, Eric and I took advantage of our decorated tree/house and our nice outfits (for a friends wedding) and attempted to use our timer to take some family photos. 

If only it was easy to get the dogs cooperating! 

"The Girls"

"The Boys"

Christmas love. :) 

Eric played around with our Sony Nex5R and figured out how to use the applications to hook it up to our phones so we can use our phones to set off the timer.

Christmas Puppy Outfits

In October I talked about dressing up my dogs for Halloween. I never did.

Now it's December. I've been looking for the perfect Christmas outfit for my pups.

After much searching, I found them. They are perfect. I found them at Winners. 

This is how I think Caper feels about his Santa Suit. 

It has a matching hat, but you try getting a dog to wear a hat! I think he hates it because it makes him too warm. He's getting his Christmas hair cut soon. It'll be good. 

Daisy is super sweet in her dress. She loves wearing clothes.

Well, I'm not sure if she LOVES IT. But she definitly doesn't mind it.

the dogs weren't overly impressed I forced them outside for pictures!

100th Post

Say What?

Already!

I feel as if this post should be influential and profound.

That this post should be something amazing. 

Guess What!

It's not. 

Instead, I'll tell you that one of my new favorite spots to buy dog sweaters is Winners! Who would have thought. I found the best sweaters, unfortunately, they didn't have matching "boy" and "girl" sweaters. 

Daisy tried to put her sweater on this morning. It snowed last night. She gets cold easily.

Caper's sweater is a little small, and he has too much fur, so a tuft sticks out in the stupid hole for the leash. 

I work retail.

Canadian retail has for some reason as grasped onto this idea of 'Black Friday' --- *rolls eyes*

It will be fun! 

In other news, I'm finishing up my Christmas Decorating.

Can't wait to get my tree in December (no trees till at least December 1st)! 

Hubby said we can get a real one! :D 

Now the Christmas Baking will start next week!

What's your favorite christmas recipe?

Caper is a professional Monkey hunter. His favorite toys are shaped like monkeys.
This squeaky toy is no exception. This is him plotting his next attack.
The monkey better watch out! 

Black & White Sunday.2

I'm not taking part in Social Sunday today, hopefully next week! Here's some pics from my little munchkins playing with their toys. As we speak, Caper is going crazy with his squeaky plastic monkey. It's obnoxious!

The toys. 

This is how daisy hangs out in her bed. 

yum, let's eat my monkey's stuffing!

Playtime over.

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!
