Another Sunday has arrived and it's a soggy one although the sun is supposed to make an appearance later. We're sitting on the deck now, wrapped in the quiet of the morning with hardly a sound or a breeze stirring around us. That's what I like about Sundays....the stillness and the feeling of having nowhere to rush to.
This past week was good and particularly special as I got to visit a beautiful litter of puppies. It made the moment even more meaningful knowing that our sweet Merlot is their proud daddy. Watching those tiny paws explore the world, seeing their little personalities starting to shine and knowing they carry a little piece of Merlot was incredibly heartwarming. I can't wait to watch Monet, Picasso and Van Gogh continue to grow. Elevage Amyla, you make beautiful puppies 💖
Our boys are doing well. I bought another set of cavaletti poles to add to their fun. I quite like mixing the poles with the cones. It adds a new element of amusement while keeping their minds and bodies busy. They each have their own way of tackling the course. Merlot charges through with enthusiasm, quick feet and very little time for overthinking. Sherlock has a more deliberate approach, carefully placing each paw as if there is a serious strategy involved. Different styles but the same results..and most importantly, they both have the same amount of fun.
Russell and I got some yard work done. I weeded, we cut the grass. Soon time for trimming back some perennials. We seeded another area of our yard and fenced it in as it's a high traffic zone for the boys. We'll see what happens.
Before ending this blog, I want to send our thoughts to the residents of British Columbia who are dealing with the worst fires ever. The province is under a state of emergency. We hope these fires get under control soon.
I leave you with some photos and videos taken last week. There is a bit of a chair theme going on, matching the memory photo of Cooper & Spicy. It was not intentional, it just happened that way 😊
Have a great week everyone!
