Ann’s Weblog

Here is Aurora, whose family is having a little holiday during Easter and Spring Break.

As usual, click to enlarge or print.

Here is Pickles, another treasured visitor:

We went to breakfast, as usual, today, and to our delight, the owners of the diner had decided to start their buffet at 9 a.m.. I thought I was going to be able to devour much more than I actually did, but still, the eggs benedict were scrumptious and well worth the price.

During the week, we had a few “old pals” of the canine type, stay with us. Here is Chico, a “top dog” belonging to our dear human friends:

It’s an “older” picture, I confess.

We also had Tika, who you’ve met, and other familiar ones come and go. At the moment, we’re also boarding a cockatiel, a budgie and a gorgeous cat. We have Missy, Smudge, Pritchard, Molson and Buster outside at the moment.

I guess I’ll run along. It’s a lovely day… crisp but sunny. ~ Ann

This is a morning view of the horse pasture with the moon almost set. It’s about 7:30 A.M., and the temperature is -20˚ Celcius, about - 4˚ Farenheit.

This is Pickles, a tiny red dapple Miniature Dachshund. The moment that I put this cotton throw on the couch, she knew it was meant for her. Though Pickles is under 8″ tall, she gracefully wafted up from the floor into her new “bed”, turned ’round and ’round, and scratched it up a little. When it was “bunched” to her satisfaction, Pickles fell fast asleep, not even waking when the camera clicked and flashed.

I have two dogs to groom today, a small matted house dog, and Taffy, who you’ve met. I’ll try to get back here with pictures. It is hard to heat the grooming shop when it’s this cold… many of my Hydro dollars are leaking into the great outdoors. Perhaps when it’s time to give Taffy her brushing, I’ll sit on the living room floor with her and watch TV while I work. The painting of dog houses is another job that I hope to get back to.
