Well Nathan is not sure about updating the blogs so I may be doing it remote and finding out how things are going.  Stay tuned. Here I type not trying to wake anyone up. I am surrounded by dogs. I must admit I did crash so watching Pups via my iPad didn’t come till now. The term exhausted comes to mind
This is is my first mini vacation I think in 15 years. Wish it was not so short but then again how will Nathan survive without me? Plus I am going to miss out. Crazy mixed feelings.
I am having an issue resizing photos so may just have to text update. Nathan says everyone is doing well and they are surviving. It’s snowing here in Montreal. It’s windy. It’s cold. We have walked a lot and bought nothing and had bad food. LOL

Nathan might take a vacation after you then! Don't you wish that you have a trailer and bring everyone and every single dog with you while you go on vacation?
Try to enjoy your vacation. Take your mind off from everything in Toronto for at least couple of hours a day. Nathan and Dennis are more then capable to deal with the Talemaker party time . Missing all the dogs will be hard, now you will get a feel of when we go on vacation, we always check your blog at the end of day because we would miss our dog too much. It's also a testament that we feel so completely secure and trusting when our dog is boarding with you that I don't have to worry about a thing. Anyplace you are planning to go? If you do like spa, Bota Bota in old Montreal is nice. The spa is on a boat docked by the water. It has sauna, hot tub indoor and outdoor. They also have a small cafe in the spa that you can have a drink. Enjoy your trip with your family!

I can only echo Sylvia and Angela. Enjoy this well deserved break Darlah! You’ll be back to washing dirty feet, grooming, and looking after the newbies before you know it.

I asked Billthis morning, “Is this bed bigger than ours at home? It feels bigger.” He said, “I don’t know. Let me put a dog in the middle and then you tell me.” Lol. Wishing you the feeling of a bigger bed. ;-)

Yes we have a king and a twin up against each other plus a bench at the end with stairs. We also have a couch in the room. Our bedroom is like a 2 room suite

Sylvia most years Nathan goes for a week with guys like for 30 years. It’s my first Away in 20 years. We ate lousy in port yesterday. Had chocolate fondue at cacao 70. Did spa in hotel. Decent... not best and now everyone is sleeping and I have headphones on. My feet got soaked. My feet got sore. Didn’t buy a thing except water and the spa. Today the kids want to go to the Eaton Center. More walking. Do miss Nathan and the dogs but will be back tomorrow. Hardly anytime.
