family photos




I started uploading a bunch of old family photos. I am going to make one of those nice photo books for my parents in honour of their 50th wedding anniversary this fall. Lots more to come!

Flyball!




Pics of Tilly and Tess playing flyball.
Plus a few shots of Tilly doing puissance (high jump) at a demo at Belleville's Ribfest.

Glanmore National Historic Site of Canada




YouTube - Flyball - what is it all about?




What is flyball???? Check out this cute video that explains it all.
Thought I should post this since I am sure to talk about flyball a lot here once the race season is in full swing... Check it out!
When I am not working, cooking, sleeping or bellydancing I am usually out playing flyball with the pups!

3 sure signs of spring: 1. birds chirping; 2. mud 3. street sweepers! Hurray! Welcome Spring!!!!

What is Stephen Harper Reading?

http://www.whatisstephenharperreading.com
For book lovers everywhere!!! This site was created by author Yann Martel to document his attempt to open Stephen Harper's mind to creative thinking. Every two weeks he sends a book to Harper along with a letter encouraging thought and discussion around the theme of the book. It is doubtful that Harper has ever read any of the books. The letters (and responses from the PM's office) are fascinating to read. One day I hope to make it through all the books on the list myself. Ironically, Yann Martel recently received a handwritten fan letter from President Obama.

Epicure's Eagle Cam

http://www.hancockwildlife.org/staticpages/index.php/20090302200021473
This is the eagle-cam on the property of Victorian Epicure's headquarters in B. C. Epicure teamed up with this wildlife org in order to protect (and watch) the eagles nesting there. Last year I watched the eggs hatch and the chicks get fed. It was wonderful!!!!
