Dogs and Wine in Mexico

Look. At. That. Sigh. What does this have to do with dogs and/or wine you ask? Thinking… thinking… searching… ok, I got nuthin’. These are a pictures from when we went on our honeymoon a couple of months ago and I decided to share because Mexico just kind of rocks. Besides, there are dogs in [...]

Secret Hiding Place for my Winter Underwear

Did a little spring cleaning the other day- decided to put all the winter stuff away and bring out the bright and sunny summer stuff. And this is was the result. Complete and utter frustrating pandemonium. The people who lived here previously forgot to mention that any closet and storage space we thought we saw [...]

Happy Tails

Went on a walk with the dogs the other day and, as usual, Kayloo got preoccupied with something and got to lagging behind. When we called her and she came trotting along she just looked like she was in absolute ecstasy. And really… she was. She was outside, off leash, running around, the whole pack [...]

Tough Little Purple Flowers

We took the dogs for a walk last weekend (here’s another pic) and in addition to nearly scorching ourselves and almost getting lost in the forest, we crested an incredible mini-mountain, feeling rather victorious in the effort. The entire space was just a mass of rock face and wind blown grass beaten and dried by [...]

All About the Stick

Sometimes it is just very important to fight for the stick. In Mickey and Kayloo’s case… it is ALWAYS important to fight for the stick. ALWAYS. Sometimes it’s important to sleep (like here or here or here)… but all the time it’s important to compete and fight and every now and then win. Sometimes I [...]

Tastes Like the Smell of Mr. Clean

Same lovely French restaurant that I was telling you about last week- different wine altogether (no, we aren’t total lushes. We’re lushes, sans the “total”). In actual fact we didn’t want dessert wine. What we wanted was limoncello. That’s right, limoncello. Do you know how many times I have had to defend limoncello’s honour? Countless. [...]

Welcome to Your Amazing Life

So, here’s my Theory: Life is shit and then you die… or Life is amazing… and then you die. Please- choose amazing, people! Why not? Choose remarkable. Choose crazy and smart and daring and cheeky. Move forward! Say what you think and if you don’t know what that is put in the work and FIGURE [...]

The Effectiveness of Screaming like a Banshee

This picture is from the same trip up island (in British Columbia). Right before this an evil hawk (eagle? dragon? who cares…) was circling around our heads planning its attack to make a nice light snack of Mickey. The Evil Monster was swooping in, swooping out, swooping in, swooping out and I’m pretty sure his [...]

French Restaurant (capital "F," capital "R")

John and I celebrated our anniversary (ahhh, ooooh) and we went to this fabulous, cute little restaurant that had a bunch of wonderful posters on the walls. It was cool and quaint and made us miss Europe. It was a French Restaurant (capital “F,” capital “R”). You can probably tell because in the poster above, [...]

Crazy Freaking Huge or Where’s Mickey? (look closely)…

We went up island awhile ago and passed through Cathedral Grove. Will ya look at that? Kayloo and I are posing somewhere down below Mickey’s paws for the picture above (Kayloo is a wee bit of a camera hog)- we couldn’t get Mickey to sit beside me for the photo op. The trees are humongous. [...]
