Brrrrr

Posted on November 10, 2012 by Laura

Arrived at Tiny House Ontario and made great time.  No problems on the 401 today.  Woot!

Cold here when we arrived.  When you arrive in a cold house it takes a long time to warm it up but then once THO gets warm it is easy to keep that way.  It would be great to have a wood stove so it would be faster to get it warm.  It turns out that there is one that might actually work.  I will keep you posted on this.

As soon as I got there, I lit the propane camp stove and lots of candles too.  I wanted to get it toasty warm so that I would be able to leave THO for a couple of hours to attend a farewell event for my cousin and his family who are jumping countries – Canada to Australia.  Turns out we could not get it warm so the dogs came along.  I left the heat on and hope it will be toasty when we all get back.  Wish us luck!

 

Here it is at THO this afternoon.  Everyone had coats on, including the pack.

Hitting the highway now back to Tiny House Ontario!

Woot!  Not about the highway – just about getting home.

This ahead of me, makes me cringe.

Mud Bog Image

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Laura

On September 8 2012, I was at the Sand’s Mud Bog which I wrote about earlier.  This morning my cousin T sent me a photo that I think is great so I wanted to share.  Better late than never, am I right?

Here I am with a few of my fabulous cousins.  Good times!

Makes me wish I was home right now.

Lyme Disease

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Laura

Good news today from our vet.  Rudigrrr Wolf’s 6 months test to recheck for his lyme disease came back really good from the vet.  The vet says “it is unlikely that he will have any residual problems”.  Poor guy had a lot of bites from being abandoned in the woods before he was found, rescued and housed with me.  I am  hoping that our vet is right!

After the vet called I gave the Little Wolf his quarterly haircut, albeit a little late.  He was starting to look like a big grey marshmallow.

He is really good about grooming.  He falls asleep for most of it and only wiggles if I am clipping the fur around his toes.  I think dogs must have very ticklish feet.  Imp dog always runs to hide when Rudigrrr gets groomed.  It is funny because she is smooth haired and has never had scissors near her in her life.  Imp has been hiding pretty much all day, silly girl!

Here is the tired little Wolf having a nap near the window.  The red pillow behind him was in perfect condition when he moved in here a year ago.  He spends hours chewing on it, so it is neither nice anymore nor is it trash because it is Rudi’s favourite toy.
