I like dogs of all shapes and sizes. Musing about them, life, nature and the universe helps to keep me on the straight and narrow.
Do you ever have one of those days when you think it would just be easier to roll over and go back to sleep? To be honest, whilst I am not a stranger to these feelings, I haven’t had one of “those days” for a while. Whilst I am not one for regular navel-gazing I … More Everyday there’s a whole new world to experience…..
Pooches! The Pooch Walk boys posing just before a well-earned drink following a yomp up and down Nose Hill…serious exercise for active boys. All testaments to the Pooch Walk mantra “a tired dog is a happy dog”. What a handsome bunch!
I have already mentioned in despatches that I never thought I would have owned a .com…and now I do. When I lived in the UK there was always the dubious “legend” of the white van man (WVM)…someone who drove out of the darkness and invigorated (for the want of a more appropriate word) the pulse … More Me…a white van man…whouda thunk it?
It never ceases to amaze me where unexpected treasures can be found. Whilst walking with Angus for an early morning constitutional we wandered down an alleyway that we had not frequented for some time. Half way down the block, in the midst of parked cars, wooden fences, garages and assorted wheelie bins we happened upon … More It never ceases to amaze me what can be found….

As I got closer to where I was staying it was obvious that the area had been hit hard. However, it … More There’s always a plus side…
Hooray for Dragonflies – Edmonton Journal As I walk with the boys from the Pooch Walk I am immensely grateful for the comforting presence of what now seems to be thousands of dragonflies, all different colours and sizes, that accompany us on our journey. Indeed, in some places the skyline is so rich with winged, fairy-like … More Hooray for Dragonflies
Angus was concerned that he was giving a bad example yesterday. After much soul-searching, pontification, filibustering, weighing things up and looking at all of the pros and cons, he feels that he may look to do something else…. Anyone know of any vacancies for a professional squirrel chaser?
During a frank discussion about his future Angus intimated that he thought he would be a perfect candidate for a Drug Detection Dog….I have no idea why 🙂
Having mused about George and Boy George yesterday I note that the British Royals were so impressed that they decided to call their first-born George too. I suppose that there is the possibility that my posting was some sort of premonition…particularly with all the Leprechauns and Fairies that I have been around lately. If indeed … More Lottery
