Gorgeous Fall Colours

Happy Sunday everyone! It is a little overcast at the moment but the sun should make an appearance later. The forecast for this week is quite nice. What a great Fall we've had.

Today, we remember our little girl Spicy who would have been 14. She was exceptional in every way and we miss her always. She holds a very special place in our hearts. We hope she is celebrating in style with her buddy Cooper 💕

This past week was good. The weather was fantastic and we took advantage of it. Russell used his drone to take lots of photos of the gorgeous Fall colours in our neighbourhood. Quite amazing to see all those Fall hues from 150 feet in the air. His timing was perfect as much of those leaves have now fallen, thanks to the high winds from yesterday. 

Our adorable pooches are doing wonderful. Merlot had his Lepto shot on Monday and all went well. Sherlock graduated from Basic 1 Obedience yesterday with flying colours. We are proud of our little guy. Next up is Merlot who starts class this coming Saturday, round two for me. It will give me an advantage over the other handlers LOL! We will do Basic 2 sometime in 2025.

My back seems better however my knee is giving me a lot of issues again. When I have my physical in a couple of weeks, I will request another x-ray. Perhaps it's time for a cortisone shot. We will see. Russell is still waiting for a surgery date. It would be nice if it was before Christmas. 

Halloween is Thursday and the forecast is looking nice and warm. I haven't bought any goodies yet but I will in a couple of days. We will give out as we have in the past few years, a bench set up on our front walk with a few bowls filled with treat bags. It's easier for us and not disrupting for the boys. The kiddies, young and old, can help themselves....but we will be watching from our dining room window 😈 I will post pics of our set up in next week's blog.

That's my blog for this last Sunday of October. Next week, we move the clocks backwards one hour. We can't wait to see how Merlot and Sherlock will adapt..both from a sleep and meal time perspective. These two truly have an internal clock that is perfectly synchronized 😆

Have a great everyone! I will write again in November!

With the drone 150 feet up, looking Southwest
down our street, Avondale...amazing colours.

Another drone view of our neighbourhood, the
colours are stunning.

A proud day for me and Sherlock as we pass
Basic 1 Obedience with flying colours.

The boys were not impressed with the
Habs loss to the Rangers!

We will do tricks for treats or
tasty maple leaves.

Merlot comfy and keeping an eye on 
things!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to our precious 
Spicy girl...celebrate well with your BFF
Cooper.

A special birthday moment captured for all time,
