Cooper & Spicy's Kingdom : And...November is a wrap

And...November is a wrap

Happy Sunday everyone! A dull day for us but on the mild side. The nice layer of snow that we had to keep the paws clean is almost a thing of the past. Spicy is doing what she would normally do in the Spring...looking for the last patch of snow to do her business. Too funny. The only bit of snow left is from the shovelling that we did, little snow banks here and there. The grass is wet and mucky. I wonder when we will get the next round of the white stuff....not much in the forecast.

This past week was good. We had some nice walks with the pooches, we both went to the gym a number of times and I had my weekly physio treatment. Although my progress is very good, I still have a little ways to go before I regain full range of motion. That's OK, as long as there is progress, I'll do what I have to do.

On Wednesday, our friends Linda and Bob came over for lunch. It was nice to see them again. We ate some good Montreal smoked meat sandwiches with all the trimmings. Cooper & Spicy were gracious hosts and were more than happy to shower everyone with lots of kisses.

Last week, I went through my Christmas baking magazines and figured out what to bake this year. Some old and some new recipes. I bought all the ingredients so I'm good to go. I will probably start in two weeks. Russell has offered to be my taster again this year.....thank you honey. I truly appreciate this!

Today, I had a lovely lunch with my sister and brother, a belated birthday lunch for Lynn. It was nice to get together again, it doesn't happen often. The whole gang will be coming over for Christmas dinner.

This coming week is shaping up to be a bit busy. Tomorrow, Spicy and I are going back to John Abbott College to visit the students before exams. The dog therapy session has proven to be very popular with the students. We look forward to giving them lots of love. On Tuesday, the Coop and I will have our weekly Fun Obedience Class, just a few more classes before the Christmas break. On Thursday, I have a meeting with the notary to carry on my work as the executor of my parents' estate. It is a long process, that's all I have to say. I will end this coming week on a high note by putting up the Christmas decorations, including the trees. Yesterday, I couldn't resist and put on some Christmas music for a little while. We also got our personalized ornaments for this year. I think they are so cute.

That's my blog for this week. I only have random photos of the doggies to share with you. At this time of year, unless there is snow and ice, the outdoors are not very pretty to look at. Have a great week everyone....will write again in December.
