Leisurely Cat

Lily has been having some issues of late, and is now on some medication to help with her anxiety.  She has since decided the dog’s bed is hers.

Learning to Share

It took a narrow band of sunshine for these two to decide they could share.

On our way to the Athabasca Glacier

Last Thursday Glen and I had a glacier walk scheduled on Mount Athabasca.  The Icefield Parkway, also known as Highway 93, was a gorgeous drive and we finally saw wildlife other than squirrels.

It was a long drive from Canmore to the Icefield Center in Jasper National Park.  However, the views were like this for the whole drive.

The wildlife we saw were mountain goats.  They had traffic at a complete standstill as they made their way down and across the highway.

Bow Lake

The same day that Glen and I went to Peyto lake we also hiked around Bow Lake.  It was a blustery cold day and I ended up getting windburned.  The lake was very beautiful and has a trail that takes you to a waterfall.

This one had mud all over its face.  Made me wonder what in the world it was up to.

Doggie Adoption Event

Last Saturday I took Lulu to Lenexa, Ks for an adoption event.  It was a special one, all the dogs got to go for a swim in the pool

Teaching Lulu to Play

James has been teaching Lulu how to play.  He dangles the rope toy in front of her until she grabs it, then it is a great game of tug of war.

It has been so incredibly hot this week, the hounds come back from being outside they look like they are melting into the floor.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
