Who knew that not only breaking up but waking up is so hard to do? (Apologies to Neil Sedaka)





Waking up IS HARD, PEOPLE!

In these troubling times, I have returned to knitting as a calming and meditative practice. However, it is not quite so calming when Bowser is on the scene. Remember this and this?
Anywho, I have switched from wooden double-pointed needles to metal-tipped circulars for my sock knitting so Bowser won’t be able to snack on the needles I think?!…and I am being doubly cautious about where I leave them in case he gets ahold of them and tries snacking on them. For obvious reasons. Not the least of which is he could seriously hurt himself.
We hope you stay safe from yarn thieves this weekend.

Bowser knows it’s spring and is loathe to come inside. Or is he?
I was busy in the kitchen when I glanced outside and saw this.
Back to the kitchen I went, to continue with my food preparation. A few minutes later, I looked outside again and saw this.
So, I finish what I was doing in the kitchen and head to the living room to pick up my knitting (my refuge in these troubling times). Then I see this.
We hope you have a restful weekend with lots of snuggles.

Bowser went to the dog spa on Friday.
We hope you are having a beautiful weekend.

Bowser is ever-changing in his behaviour, it seems.
Lately he doesn’t want to cuddle that much with me or any other members of his pack. He prefers to hang out in his dog bed, which he has ignored for many months now.
My daughter thinks that because he has gotten quite shaggy, he gets too hot when he is cuddled up with one (or more) of us. The weather has warmed up at lot so Bowser is going to the spa groomers’ next week. We shall see.
Stay cool this weekend, friends!

This past weekend was a holiday one in our part of the world: Family Day. So as a family we went to the west coast of the island, to enjoy its beauty. I had booked us a dog-friendly 2 bedroom suite in a place I have stayed at multiple times already – the Tofino Resort and Marina.
Alas, the weather (amongst other things) was not in our favour this past weekend. It was grey, wet, and cold for the most part. But we made the best of it, regardless. Even when all of our snacks froze solid in the hotel room’s mini-fridge. Even when some takeout from a formerly great restaurant turned out to be a disappointment. Even when I couldn’t make the pour-over coffee I had brought taste good. Even when we couldn’t escape the drizzle and rain.
We hope you enjoyed the recap of our little winter getaway.

Nothing much to report here (or is there? 😉)…
At the time of writing this post, there is still snow on the ground although the incoming rain and warmer temps will probably have melted it all by the time this post goes live.
Here’s something else new. We’ve had a hot tub installed on the property – a big endeavour as it also involved an electrical upgrade. But so worth it, especially after these chilly walks.
What’s new with you?

This week we finally received a shit ton of some snow here on Vancouver Island.
Stay tuned for next week when we will return to our regular programming (+5C, and rain). 😁
Stay warm and safe this weekend!

Here are some photos of Bowser, sleeping the sleep of a dog who cares not that he almost undid hours of knitting while chewing up one of my knitting tools….
Meanwhile, I can lay awake in the middle of night agonizing over something stupid I said or did 30 years ago.
Can I be a dog in my next life?

Bowser, I hope you are staying out of trouble while I am away in Barbados!
Here is how I am picturing you:
We hope you are snug and warm this weekend,
