Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends! We wish everyone a day filled with the warmth and happiness of the season. On this day, and every day, Russell and I are grateful for what we have...each other, good health, living in the most peaceful country in the world and all the little things that are so often taken for granted. We are also blessed to have Merlot & Sherlock in our lives. We can't imagine life without them 💕 

This past week was good. The weather was simply wonderful and it will continue this week, albeit a bit cooler but that's OK. We are noticing that the leaves are falling very quickly this year. We have work to do in the coming days 🍂

Our boys are enjoying the weather as well. The squirrels are busy hiding their Winter stash and have been a constant frustration for Merlot & Sherlock...and us.  On Friday,  Sherlock thought he could climb the tree to catch one and caught his dew claw in the bark. That didn't stop him from running after the critter and sure enough...he caught it by the tail. All this fun required a trip to the vet to repair the damaged nail. All is good now and Sherlock is recovering nicely. He is a tough little boy and never complains. The only whimpering coming from him since has been from not being able to run after the squirrels. This activity is off limits for one week. The backyard has been reduced to a small area, away from all trees LOL! Merlot is going along with the flow although he is missing the running games with his brother. 

Russell is doing well. He's keeping very busy these days with the Beaconsfield municipal elections. It's his way to help keep the residents informed and engaged. 

We will have a small turkey tonight. It's in the fridge now, stuffed and ready to go in the oven this afternoon. I bought it two weeks ago and I'm glad I did. Our Provigo had so many and they sold out in a week. Our home will smell good later 😋

That's my blog for today.  Have a wonderful day and week ahead! 

Sherlock and Merlot want to wish everyone a 
very Happy Thanksgiving!
