I got the weekday blues....

Most of my weekend was spent doing house visits to Audi's house and I ended up doing an extra visit on Saturday because (a) I don't mind, (b) I only live around the corner so it's really no trouble going up the road and around the corner to visit my girl, (c) I was concerned about her given how the beginning of the week with her was and her age and shit but she was the best I'd ever seen her from say Thursday night or Friday onwards, up until yesterday.  I did two visits with her yesterday before I headed up to Maplelane with Dina and Stella.  Audi's Mom and Dad were coming home in the early afternoon from Trinidad and I have to say I was relieved.  I was relieved last time I cared for her and they came home.  What a dear soul but man, it's hard on your heart and soul seeing her in the shape she's in.  It's so strange though, as stiff as her back end is, boy she lives for her stick to carry around and play fetch with.  And she likes when you try and pretend you're going to steal her precious stick.  When I see her being silly like that, it makes my heart burst.  She's still happy and mentally there, but it just sucks when you're body doesn't want to cooperate with your mind.  Bless her sweet soul though.  It wasn't easy but I was happy to make every visit and stay for as long as needed, 99% of the time longer than what I was paid for.  But like I said in my previous post last week, I really, really don't mind and I don't do 'this' for money. 

 

On Saturday in between visits, I saw my mom and her and I and my step dad went grocery shopping (since I had no wheels), I cleaned a bit, spent time with the boys, saw Dina's girls while she was out for the day.

 Just look at these cats.. happy as clams, just lounging in the lovely weather.  

 

 

And last but not least, here are the boys after coming home from Maplelane Farms yesterday where my boss hosted a "Customer Appreciation Day" and Charlie went swimming (all but his head got wet, Baxter barely got his toe nails wet LOL) and Charlie also did a luring track.  So henceforth why he's on his back in the picture with all fours in the air :).

Jeff came home somewhat early, which was a nice surprise.  I missed him this weekend.  As much as I love my space and time to myself, I do miss the guy.

Life is good, no complaints here other than HOLY SHIT SUMMER IS FLYING BY!!!!!  Why can't winter go by this quickly?!

Canada Day 2014

 
My Canada Day this past Tuesday involved going swimming, because it was just simply too hot to do anything BUT swim.  At our friend, Bruce's, of course. 

The pictures start the previous day where I did a double at the gym.. First I did a 45 minute BodyPump class and then had 20 minute break, which followed with a BodyShred Class.  I felt A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!  I was completely soaked but whatevs!  The pic to the left is me scarfing down a hard boil egg for some energy to get through the second class.

And of course, we can't do a post without including one or two pics of the fluffs.  This time it's my wee precious Baxter :)

 Poor little Baxter, just tuckered right out.  You know he's happy as a clam when he's snoozing on his back and you can see his little white teeth.  I call that Happy Baxter. :)

 And some more from Canada Day at Bruce's

I haven't been taking as many pictures lately because I've tried to limit my cell use, so that's why there aren't a trillion pictures. :)

Monday Blues...

This is what I saw on Friday morning before I left to come into work.  The boys all snuggled up with Alex. :)

 

 

After the gym.. spent.  Good way to end a Friday and start the weekend.  :)

The CN Tower.  I met Jeff after work on Friday with Bruce and Alex.

 The two below pictures are of Saturday while I was in the pool with Lily and Stella, our friend Dina's two Bichons.  Stella did so well for her first dip in the pool and Lily was even taking cues from her to get in and get her prissy little feet wet.  At this point, I had been in and out of the water with my two rug rats and they were getting cold so they watched the girls fart around and occasionally would pop back in for a taste of a steak lure that I was using.  It was so funny, we didn't get back from the city til late on Friday night and here I was, at midnight, cooking the dogs steak for lures the next morning.  If that isn't love, I don't know what is. Or foolery. LOL



 





 

Charlie, the aftermath of swimming. Spent!

 Hunkered down and exhausted from swimming.  Such a tough life. :)

The below pictures are of myself and Baxter yesterday afternoon at my mom's place for her annual BBQ. Still tired from the previous day's adventures. :)

And a pic of last night, drunk on steak.  The end :)



Weekend Recap and Pictures, of course :)

So I have a bit of a confession here, pssst: I blow off seeing friends or going out for lunches with people because... I love and need to go to the gym.  That's how dedicated I am. Or lame, however you want to look at it.  LOL  Speaking of working out, I just got back from a yoga class outdoors in 36 degrees weather.  Man was it hot!

Moving on, we have a friend staying with us at the moment.  He got into town last Thursday after having drove all the way from BC.  Nice to have him home, he's been gone from Ontario for about a year now and he's finally back which is awesome.  This Saturday, as a matter of fact, we're heading up to his parents' place to go boating in the afternoon and then see his mom in some play she's acting in.  Saturday morning the boys are going swimming in the pool.  Dock diving not quite, but more like confidence building in the pool.  Sunday is a BBQ at my mom's place, her annual get together with some friends and family.

Looks like Jeff just got some baseball tickets so I'll be meeting him, Alex and a fourth person downtown after work on Friday.  Sweet! :)

That's all, I'm really scattered today so forgive me.  Light, love and happiness
