Easter Long Weekend!

I had a friend come down for a visit on Thursday night, which was nice. Friday morning we went up White Feather and Heronview. Of course the highlight of the road trip was seeing all of Lori's, her beloved four Leonbergers…

Below is Kramer, 185 lbs of fur and love :).  The second Leo is Emma getting in on some of the love. She's one of his daughter's I believe. 

 

Later Friday night we went to my moms for Easter dinner, which was delish! Kelly stayed for dinner then headed back home to the 'Shwa. 

 

Saturday morning I went to the gym (duh! Lol these days I'm at the gym 7 days a week if I can) and then I came home and we went down to the All About Pet Show near the airport.  I didn't take too many pictures because I was too busy gawking at the animals or petting them.  If Jeff lost me, he didn't have to look out to find me but rather down because I was often on the floor petting this dog or that dog. 

 

Isn't this Persian adorable?  He was just a baby, if I recall his owner said he was just 9 months old but glorious.  :)

I'm not a fan of snakes but took some reptile pictures nevertheless.  Here's a rattle snake and a tarantula.

Cute little Chi's

Some baby goats and a young cow (she was super soft)

This is what I look like in the morning lol  Here's an alpaca. 

 

Got home on Saturday and took the kids for a nice long walk.  This walk put Charlie on his ass for two days.  Poor boy looked wrecked.  Maybe it was too much?  Who knows.  But he's alright. :) 

My massive quads and day 20 of #yogatothecore - Tittibhasana or firefly pose.

And some random ducks trolling down the street on Monday morning lol

Had a pretty good weekend this past one gone.  Started bickering with Jeff a bit on Thursday night.  This resulted in both of us going to sleep early (read 10 pm! Shocker, I know), then wide awake at 2 am til almost 4 (this also ensued BBM conversations with Marah who also was having a craptacular night with Jon-boy), then finally going back to sleep til about 8 and then Jeff rolled out of bed around 9 or 10.  Friday morning I made some breakfast and we headed out to Toronto trying to find a squeaky ball for Baxter (whose squeaker started to fade just the night before, so great timing on the ball's part) and some pee pads.  No dice on the pee pads but I did find out who sold us the ball last year and where I could procure one.  Naturally, none were at the show and we had to grab a couple of said balls on Saturday when everything opened up after Good Friday).  We were going to take the boys on an off-leash walk in Holland Landing with Karin and the gang of dogs but when I was invited to a free 90 min yoga class, followed by another 90 mins of a private aerial class, I jumped all over that.  :)  Needless to say, I had a very, very active week.  And I've also started taking the dogs on these really long walks (okay they're not realllllly that long but I suppose it is with their short little legs on them).  It's usually about a half hour walk at a good pace but what I like about it is that it seems to do the trick - it tires them the f out.  When I got back home, we got up and left to head down to the All About Pet Show.  I went in alone, since we were essentially on a mission.  Met up with Dina briefly there and all in all, pretty unsuccessful trip and more bickering on our part.  Saturday morning was an alright one.  Got up early, ate and had coffee, then we headed out for a good few hours doing all of our shopping, groceries for the month from Costco, the grocery store.  Blitzed through Ikea to get the frame, which is just as well because you can easily get out of hand in there.  Later on that day, Alex came over and ended up staying until Monday night.  Greg came by, as did Jeff B.  All in all, a good night.  Sunday wasn't too eventful.  We all up and went to the dog park with the boys so they could get the run around on. 

Did some cleaning this weekend, catching up on tv shows and downloaded shows (although there are a TON more), Jeff sent his PC back in (again!) since they f'd up the function keys last time around.  Made dinners, took the dogs out and about, got lots of snuggles. 

Never saw B or his lady friend this weekend.  Getting the impresssion he's not being honest with her, or we're not good enough or he's embarassed.  It's like he's disappeared from our life though, which is so weird since he used to be always over at our place.  I get that he's happy but that doesn't mean you have to up and abandon your friends.  Nevermind, what happened to not being able to wait to introduce her to us?  Ah whatever.

Must walk the kidlets this evening and give them a bath some time this week as well.  Picking up Oliver on Friday night for my mom who gets back late from Cuba. 

That's all for now, folks. <3
