What a Day

The dogs were in their element. As you can see Brewer loves the tackle play. LOL Ripley, Bonham and all the rest playing and playing today. I could go on and on. This is our anniversary and well the dogs gave us the best present - just watching them enjoy.

Here is the gallery.

Ms Daisy, Bonham and Ripley depart today and Ms. Coco and Winston arrived. Hate when they go happy to see them excited to see their humans.

We are back on the hunt for Starter Mousse. It's on short supply again. Somehow I have to make it to Scarborough as they are the closest that has stock at Rens. They won't ship. tsk Spirit is being difficult as she always is at this stage and the pups enjoy theirs too. We managed to get some cans at Aurora but not enough. Nathan also picked me up a clipper as one of mine died. I know it's for work but still working with just 1 has been difficult. He also went and bought a lobster roll for both of us. Wonderful dinner.

Thank you to Magic's mom for delivering a cheese cake. Wonderful. I may have a gin and tonic tonight. Dennis got up extra early to help us for our day. He's bringing the pups upstairs now so I can finish the blog.

It was not a typical anniversary. But the dogs - well visitors and all are wonderful!

I also did get out and stopped at the Dollar Tree in Aurora while Dennis held down the fort. Terrible Dollar Tree unlike the one in Woodbridge. A lady heading out just before me took her hand and licked it then rubbed it all over the handle on the door. Still do not know why but I used the handicap button with my elbow and departed. How strange is that? I think this was my 1st outdoors in a long time and Rens had no one in it and Dollar Tree had 2 cashiers and 2 other people. It was a treat but now I want to go to Woodbridge. LOL

630 and done with the blogs - can you believe? Saturday someone is visiting Teddy as a potential family.

Happy Anniversary to both you and Nathan.
What a day, it's always when you need stuff, it's out of stock.
I'd have gone back and notified the staff and even cleaned that handle, I'm like that, that's 1 sick lady.
Note to Darlah, get that Christmas turkey now! I'm looking at getting one.
The stores are short on customers and some supplies, I have noticed☹
I can call Rens in Mississauga if they have any Starter mousse, tmrw, and deliver on my up to the barn.

Is that Ms Daisy actually giving Ripley the time of day? He always tries so hard with her and she is usually “nope, not playing with you”. She bosses him something terrible but I think he secretly loves it.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary !
The hand licking lady would be one of the many Covid protesters mocking the rules ! Staff would sanitize if they were aware it happened. It's "fun" being in retail right now !

I did yell to the cashier but she didn't come running.

Yes - Ms. Daisy :-)

Dorothy. I have sanitizer in the car but did tell them.

I called my local Global if they had that puppy starter mousse, none, might come in the new year, saw that none at Rens, I tried. Did you get any? Heartland Rens indicates it has 39, but I just called, they have LOTS. I can pick it up tmrw and deliver later in day.

Dorothy: Sherry is picking up some tomorrow. I can always use more if you are up to it. I feel like a hoarder but we use for the pups and moms. Use my account though so you get a discount and I can put it in as expenses. I will send you the info. You can use it for yourself too anytime.
