Dog Troubles II

Don't take a long haired white dog to the dog run after a thaw.

Mud Mud Mud

We did nto take any photos of the mess, but here he is after the bath. The bath required a trip to Canadian Tire to get a hand-held shower attachment for the bathtub. Why did I think this was a cheap way to try out a dog :(

Dog Troubles

Seems dogs cannot eat chocolate!
Don't worry. Casper is perfectly fine now.

He stole an entire new big bag of Fudgeo cookies from the counter, wolfed them down in no time and pretended nothing happened. Until the symptoms started. Diarrhea, hyperactivity, racing heart...

Off to the emergency vet...did I say this was on a Sunday morning. Pumped his stomach, activated charcoal, the works.

Give me a cat any day.

Thanksgiving in Ottawa

Beautiful weather.
Went to the Canadian War Museum on Saturday. Drove around and visited the outdoor exhibits at the Canadian Science and Technology Museum on Sunday before dinner -- turkey and all the fixin's!!

The new van worked well, but we realized we were not given an owner's manual. There were a few things we could not figure out. Brother-in-law Gord gave us an overview as they own a 2002 Odyssey. Seems the light is burned out behind the clock and that is why we could not see it at night :)

Emma goes to Camp Brebeuf

Emma spent 3 days and 2 nights at Camp Brebeuf with her class as part of their preparation for Confirmation. She had a good time -- canoeing, archery, rope climbing, rock climbing -- despite doing it all in the cold rain.
She did not have time to take photos.
