Long weekend vibes!

Happy Sunday everyone! This is the first long weekend of the Summer season and the weather is fantastic! We've had nothing but sunshine and hot temps since Friday, more on the way. It feels so good 🌞 

It has been a very busy weekend for us. We have been attending the Conformation Show in St-Lazare since Friday. It's an outdoor show so we are very grateful for this gorgeous weather. We got to spend some nice quality time with our boys. They are both showing this weekend and one of them might finish his Championship today or tomorrow. It's been so much fun!  I thought it was time to post a few pics of them, taken after their show bath...Merlot is one year old and Sherlock is 6 months old. They are simply wonderful and our hearts are full of love for them 💖

I am so glad that I got all my planting done last weekend. Everything is looking good. Russell cut the grass on Thursday. It was very long. We seeded a few weeks ago and it's made a huge difference. 

Friday, May 17,  marked what would have been our sweet boy Cooper's 13th birthday. It is a date that will always be in our calendar. Coop and Spicy are always in our hearts.

My brother is coming over for coffee soon. I have a few things to do in the kitchen then we're off to the dog show. Another sunny day that will require lots of sunscreen! Have a wonderful week everyone!

cleans up very well and he is a 
charmer.


Merlot post bath - he is ring

handsome fellow.
