From Coast to Coast to Coast

Happy Sunday everyone! A bright day for Canada today. In just over two hours, the most anticipated Olympic event will take place. The puck will drop and the best of the best will be playing. No doubt that most Canadians will be watching the game with immense pride. No matter the outcome, there will be no losers. Only champions of different shades. Go Canada Go! Your effort, heart and pride will be on full display!

This past week was good. Between walking the pooches, running some errands and trying to get things done around the house, we spent a good amount of time watching the Olympics. TV will be pretty boring after today although the regular NHL games will resume on Wednesday. The chase for a playoff spot will be full on.

Our weather has been much milder and the sun is quite warm. We are really noticing the brighter and longer days. It is so nice. It's hard to believe that we are entering the last week of February. 

We are now just about three weeks away from our Barbados trip. I started putting aside some clothes, etc for both of us. Our guest bedroom looks like a war zone at the moment.  We're starting to get excited.

Our boys are doing well. Russell gave them a bath last week. One of the videos below is of Merlot doing his crazy face planting right after his grooming...his way to release pent-up energy from the bath. Sherlock doesn't do face planting LOL! 

Short and sweet blog this week.  Have a great week everyone and enjoy the game if you're watching! 


Spring is just around the corner and the boys
are on high alert for squirrels!


No, Sherlock does not have 
dandruff...this is fresh snow!


Merlot marches to the beat of a 
different drummer and makes
his own paths in the fresh snow.


Inside or outside, no squirrel is 
safe from their watchful eyes!

hockey game with two lap warmers.


Merlot is famous for his patented 'face-plants',
his way to expel excess energy and mess up
his fresh topknot!


The boys at the ready - about to start the pretzel
game...a treat hidden in a knotted towel.
