Of Jasper, of course! (Children? I have children?) Jasper is oozing boredom from every pore. I couldn’t get a good shot of it, but his eyes are open, just bored. T is a sucker for punishment. If Jasper is chasing him around and nipping his butt in a stupid puppy attempt to play, and we [...]

Good planning?
Posted in dogs, doodles, golden doodle, pets, Uncategorized on April 27, 2007 | 4 Comments »
When we decided to get a dog, I banked on him lasting 15 years (doodles are long-lived and my cousin’s much-loved dog lasted 15 years, so mine should too). The cats are coming up on 3 years old, and since they live a bit longer than dogs, I figure they’ll make it to about 18 [...]
Another post about my dog

Now that I am doggy obsessed, it drives me crazy that I can’t take my dog more places. Restaurants and grocery stores I understand, but I want to take my dog everywhere else. I was whining about this after taking Boo and Asher to the park for half and hour while Maya was at her [...]
Calm Puppy

I took Jasper to the vet the other day for an extra check up, because he is so darn mellow that we kept getting comments and we finally got nervous. He just does not act like a puppy. If I stop to chat with someone while walking him, he frequently lies down on the road [...]
Yom Hazikaron
Posted in Israel, judaism, Uncategorized, yom hazikaron on April 23, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Tonight is the start of Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s memorial day for fallen soldiers. Last year, I was in Israel at this time. While there are memorial services in Canada, at Jewish Community Centres and synagogues, it doesn’t feel the same, obviously. I feel cut off, especially with J in Israel right now. Last year, we [...]
Signs Summer is on its Way and other ramblings
Posted in Israel, judaism, spring, summer, Uncategorized on April 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
These were our season firsts for today: Open windows. Sandals. The first flower poked out from under the dead leaves. No need to wipe slush or mud of the dog’s paws after a walk. Bought popsicles and, two seconds after handing them to my kids, 5 other kids showed up at the door. Gardened. Ate [...]
A Thinking Blog Award
Posted in awards, blogging, thinking, Uncategorized on April 20, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I got an actual award! Yogamum nominated me for a Thinking Blogger award. This is a cool idea that originated here. It is now my job to nominate five blogs that make me think. I don’t think I’m allowed to go backwards, which means I can’t nominate Yogamum, which I would otherwise do. (And, like [...]
crazy cat lady
Posted in cats, dogs, pet food, pets, Uncategorized on April 19, 2007 | 2 Comments »
When I got my cats, I wasn’t going to be one of those crazy pet owners that spent tons of money on their animals and treated them better than they treated the children. I held to it, too. I asked the vet for a food recommendation and she gave me one, for a higher-end brand [...]
furry joy

We’ve been back from Vancouver for a couple of days, but between the hideous weather, jet lag and all I wanted to write about, I have instead written nothing. Today is sunny. I fell walking the dog yesterday evening. I was running with him, even, letting him chase leaves, when I tripped and took a [...]
It’s good in theory, at least

All the internet access in the world doesn’t help much when you are too exhausted to write. So far, we have gone to the Vancouver Aquarium, Science World, spent a day visiting with my cousins, taken a ferry to Vancouver Island, seen Butchart Gardens and Victoria Butterfly Gardens, and taken a ferry back, and much [...]
