Game Day

Happy Sunday everyone! It is a bit chilly this morning, a cool -21 Celsius. We might not have a lot of snow but it's been a very cold Winter so far. On the plus side (there is always one), the sun is stronger and it feels wonderful 🌞 

This past week was good. Russell had a successful colonoscopy on Wednesday. I dropped him off at 7:30 am. He was the first one and was ready to go. It's always good to get these things out of the way first thing in the morning LOL! 

After a few nice wins for the Montreal Canadiens, NHL hockey is now on pause during the Olympics. I admit I need that pause too....watching the games and following the standings has been consuming a lot of my energy 😏 We have been watching the Olympics. We're up so early that we get to see a lot of it live. This morning, we saw Lindsey Vonn's last run come to an end. It was very disturbing to watch having followed her journey these past few days. 

Merlot and Sherlock are doing well. One day last week, we took the thinking game outside. It was very different, with the distractions from birds and squirrels. I gave them a break and let them cheat a bit.  I was keeping a close eye on them as I thought they were going to "mark" the cones at some point. That would not have been good LOL! 

Tonight is Super Bowl. We will be cheering for the Hawks. Although I never really knew who Bad Bunny was until a few months ago (please don't laugh), the half time show promises to be a fun and interesting one from what I read. If only for the "political" side of it, we will watch it.

Tomorrow will mark the two year anniversary of Cooper & Spicy's passing. It is a day forever etched in our hearts 💕 

I leave you with a few videos taken last week and some random pics. Good luck to all Olympians! Have a great week everyone!

gear ready to cheer them on to victory!

Merlot was keen to watch the Westminster 
Dog Show, he surely recognized his own
breed and was cheering on Cosette who
won Select Female.

TV time...where do the humans sit?  The boys
say get your own sofa.

Dinner time antics, Merlot flings his plushie

while Sherlock gives me the 'eye'.

 

Some al fresco training, Merlot and Sherlock

enjoyed the session and the many distractions

helped with everyone's focus.

Sherlock and his jumping routine.

Merlot is equally up to the jumping challenge.
