One more sleep!

Happy Sunday everyone! Another beautiful sunny day on the way. An early morning for us as we're off to the last day of the Chateauguay Valley Kennel Club Dog Show shortly. Our boys will be strutting their stuff. Tomorrow, we bring them home! 

It's been a busy week. We got back from Quebec City on Canada Day. We had a wonderful getaway. The city was packed with tourists from all over the world. The food was delicious, the sites were gorgeous. We walked a lot and, at times, we were grateful for the many benches that the city has to offer.  On Sunday, we witnessed the start of the Transat Quebec St-Malo race. As the sailboats were about to leave, there was a huge downpour that lasted about five minutes. We were on the AML Louis Jolliet boat when it happened. Luckily for us, I had found us a cute little table on the middle deck, protected from the sun and rain. It was amazing to see all those sailboats. We have been following their journey ever since, quite fascinating. As of this morning, the boats are now in the Atlantic Ocean. They should reach St-Malo in approximately 7-10 days. 

We've been busy getting ready to welcome Merlot and Sherlock. Our home looks once again like a doggie home. It's a nice feeling.  One more sleep and we will have eight little paws walking our floors.  We are excited beyond words. My future blogs will again be filled with stories about our boys 💕 

It's a short blog today, a busy day ahead of us. I leave you with some pics from the boat race and a few throwback photos of Cooper and Spicy. Have a great week everyone!
