Happy Sunday everyone! It is a gorgeous Summer morning. The temperature is just right. It feels good to be able to write my blog on the deck. Our boys are chilling in their favorite spot and Russell is catching up on the news. A quiet start to our day...that is until the squirrels start driving the boys crazy.
This past week had another mid-week interruption with Canada Day. It also brought extreme heat which was, at times, suffocating. We didn't spent much time on our deck up until Friday. We took Merlot & Sherlock for early morning walks. We weren't the only ones.
Our crabapple tree is once again the neighbourhood squirrel hotspot so the chase is back in full swing. Russell wrapped a piece of metal sheet around the tree to prevent our pooches from climbing. Last year, Sherlock ripped his dew claw trying to chase up a squirrel. We didn't want a repeat of this incident. They still chase but can't climb 😏
Last Friday, I started a physio program to help me better manage the osteoarthritis in both my hips. This diagnosis was confirmed a few weeks ago. I feel fortunate to have such a good physiotherapist in Michael Ennis, from Kinatex. We've known Micheal for a long time and we have built a trusting relationship with him. He's treated us for a wide range of conditions, including Russell's post knee replacement surgery. I am optimistic that my commitment to doing the prescribed exercises will pay off.
Yesterday, our Canadian soccer team ended their journey but they gave us something to be proud of. They belong on the world stage. Well done and see you in 2030!
The weather looks awesome for this coming week. We will enjoy it to the fullest. Have a great week everyone!
