Love No Alarm Days

.I love what Mommy calls Saturday mornings.  Normally it is a no alarm day.  I love no alarm days because that means Mommy doesn't rush out.  Here is me just chilling on the big bed and enjoying the no alarm day we are having this morning

I have my very own blanket that Mommy puts on the bed and I don't move off my blanket.  I like it much better then that wild flowery thing that Mommy has. Mommy loves her flowery summer quilt.  She just got it at a place called Bed, Bath and Beyond.  If you look it is reversible with stripes.  Yuk!  The design on my blanket is better.

Mommy had a worker guy install a wind machine over our bed this spring.  I love the wind machine and stretch out on my blanket and enjoy the nice breeze.  Here is our wind machine.

Mommy has a remote control for it.

Another thing about no alarm days is Mommy usually makes a good breakfast.  On alarm days she just has boring cereal but on no alarm days she quite often makes us eggs.  This morning I get to have eggs!  I have to run now pups to eat my Eggs!

Notme Returns

Do you pups remember that bad pup called "Notme"? I hadn't seen him in a very long time but he came to my house twice this week! Grrrrrr!  That pup always likes to get me in trouble.  You see we finally got some rain this week and Notme doesn't like to potty outside in the rain. I bet you can guess what he did?  Yep, he did his pee pee two times on the carpet in the back bedroom.  Can you believe that Mommy thought it was me?  She said I should be ashamed of myself.  Now she is putting up the little gate so I can't go into the nice carpeted bedrooms in the evening.  She is saying something about I have to earn the privilege to go there.  Grrrrrr?  I keep telling her it was Notme but she doesn't listen.  I ask you can this sweet little pup do such a bad thing?

I bet that bad pup saw my blog so he came here to cause trouble.  Yep, that is what happened!

Extra Photos

Here are a couple of photos we thought we would add:

Here is Rufus (Boyfriends dog) and Nieces dogs Copper and Dawson.

Here is a good one of Rufus:

Rufus

We forgot to include Rufus in the last blog entry.  Sorry Rufus!  Niece has a boyfriend that she has been with for the last 3 years.  Are we going to be getting a nephew soon do you think?(this is a hint to Boyfriend).  Anyways Rufus is his dog.  Here is Rufus:

Niece always says not to get taken in with that innocent face.  His specialty is taking food off the counter.  The counter is head level so I guess it all looks too tempting to resist.  He is known to take a full pie of the counter and have swallowed it before anyone could stop him. It was a pie that Niece had just baked.  Baking is another talent that Niece has.  Anyways I have digressed.  While Mommy was there the peepoles were cleaning pickerel that they had just caught and Rufus came over and grabbed one and swallowed it before anyone could do something about it.  BOL!  I would have loved to see those peepoles scrambling around.  Hmmmm.....I think I could put some of Rufus's talents to good use.  Rufus, do you want to come for a visit to my house?

Niece Update and Owls

I thought I would give an update on Niece.  We are very proud of her. If you don't already know she graduated with honours with a Bachelor of Nursing.  A couple months later she wrote her RN exam and passed the first time. (They get 3 tries to pass it!).  Since then she has worked two years as an RN in an emergency department of a hospital and has now worked for over two years as a flight nurse.  She works on a two week on and two week off rotation in the North.  She flies with patients all over the North and many times brings them to Winnipeg.  She can go to other locations like Toronto. She may even have to take them to the USA if that is where they are going for treatment.  She just recently got accepted into the Masters program in nursing and will be doing that on a part time basis in the fall.  Congratulations Niece!  We are so proud of her! Here is a picture of her with her dogs and with a fish she caught:

That is one big fish!  Doesn't she look young?  Sometimes her patients think she is a first year student and she has to convince them otherwise.

She has a very intense hobby in photography that has turned into a part time business.  She has taken lots of photography courses and is very good at what she does.  She does weddings and other types of photography work.  

This gets to the story of what happened when Mommy was visiting her.  Niece had a job to take advertising photos and a video for a local yoga studio.  They wanted to take the video and the photos out in nature.  Mommy took a drive with her to find the perfect locations to do this photo shoot.  As they were driving around they spotted two owls flying around in the middle of the afternoon.  Niece immediately jumped out with her camera and took these photos:

Those owls were way up in the trees but Niece had a good camera with a big lens and got these shots. What beautiful photos!  Mommy and Niece were very excited to have seen these owls.

Hi Pups

Hi Pups!  I haven't barked in a really, really long time.  Mommy and I are doing well.  Here is a recent picture of me 

Mommy is still working but I think she should retire so she can spend all her time with me.  We are on vacation for five weeks but it is almost over.  Mommy went to Winnipeg to visit Grandpa and I went to doggy camp aka kennel.  I have a great time there.  I have lots of friends to play with, we go on three long walks in the country each day, lots of treats, attention from the humans and lots of time playing in the exercise area.  Fun,fun,fun!

As much as I had fun it was great to get home and spend time with Mommy.  My Mommy always thinks of projects to do around the house.  For the last two days I have been supervising some worker guys putting in a small pressed concrete walk. Here is a picture of the walkway

We are having lots of hot weather and a drought.  People who live outside the city have empty wells and we have water restrictions. As you can see from the photos the grass is yellow.  We hope to get rain soon.

Bark at you later!

Are You Around?

I haven't barked in a really long time.  I have sniffed around and I don't seem to smell many pups around here.  Please respond if you are around.  I will have to get my typist to do an update on me.  In general, me and Mommy are doing good.
