Happy Sunday everyone! We woke up to a chilly -15 Celsius. Sherlock was on three paws for the better part of his first outing this morning. No wonder, it takes him forever to find just the perfect spot to do his business LOL! Merlot, on the other hand, is not too fussy....he just needs to be against a fence. Both are such characters 😍
This past week was good and cold. We don't have much snow, although we got a few centimetres yesterday. I haven't had to shovel paths yet but we keep the patio clear of snow. Russell used our electric shovel and our silly dogs were going nuts. It's as if they hadn't seen it before.
Yesterday, I finished my baking. It's all safely tucked away in the freezer. A huge thank you to Russell for stepping up as the official taste tester. I have one thing left to make and it's my favorite...salted caramel pretzel bark. I have a thing for salted caramel goodies. It will be my holiday treat!
Our boys and I are having a good time with the Fun Fit Advent Calendar. Day 2 so far has been our favorite and we are perfecting it every day. The idea is to go from bowl to bowl while going around the cone without being lured. They get rewarded when they do. It's a very good mental stimulation exercise. The hard part is for me to just wait for them to make a move. While one works, the other waits his turn. That in itself requires a lot of self control LOL! They are such good boys 💕
We watched the Habs game last night. What an exciting win! There is another game tonight. Last week, I started to watch the Netflix series The Beast in Me but I had to stop after episode 5. It is very well done and the acting is superb but it got too heavy. I read the synopsis of the last three episodes just to see how it would end. Then I couldn't help myself and watched the last episode just for the heck of it.
I leave you with some photos and two videos. One I call the "stand off", they often play that game of who will charge first. It's usually Merlot. The other video is self explanatory.
Have a great week everyone!
