Mutt Lucks

After one of the first big snowfalls we realized just how much salt gets dumped on our sidewalks...and how much all of that salt can hurt doggie feet. So we invested in some very fashionable 'Mutt Lucks'. Similar to buying footwear for yourself, it was necessary to have Oscar's feet sized. There was a foot sizing chart on the floor of the pet store. Along with the size, the chart gave examples of different breeds with the same size of feet. The only breed with feet bigger than Oscar is a Great Dane.

BNL comes to the L Dot

I had known for quite some time that the Barenaked Ladies were coming to town. I REALLY wanted to go to the concert as they are probably my favourite band. So I dropped hints that I wanted to go thinking that perhaps my husband would surprise me with tickets for my birthday.....but nooooooo, there were no surprise tickets (NOTE: James has since redeemed himself with tickets for Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat for my birthday! WOOHOO!). Valentine's Day came and went (the last possible moment for the tickets to appear). As I drove home from work on the 15th (DAY OF THE CONCERT) I started to think, "What am I doing??? I LOVE the Barenaked Ladies and I'm not even going to go to the concert when they're playing in London?!?!?" When I got home I went online to see what kind of tickets were available and VOILA! Check it out!

In case you are unsure of what 'BENCH' means...the seats were where the benches usually are for the hockey players. For a full visual you can go to http://www.johnlabattcentre.com/seatingmap-general.html (the BNL thing isn't up there anymore but you get the idea!).

Now it's not much fun to go to a concert on your own, soooooooo I called up my dear friend Jen B to see if she wanted to go as a) James wasn't yet home from school, b) James does not enjoy the BNL nearly as much as I do and c) Jen DOES enjoy the BNL! And this is how happy she was that I called...

...she'll do anything to get out of making dinner ;)

So off we went and I would have to say that fun was had by all!!! Here are some pics from Jen's camera phone

I realize the quality isn't super (but dude, it's a CAMERA phone)...and all you really need to know is that it was a rockin' good time with amazing music, funny guys and a funky cool set with trippy lights. Thanks again to Jen who really IS the best for putting up with my super-over-excitement all night long.

Doggie Heaven

A few weeks ago, Shana, Andrew and Brie (their dog) came to visit. We met up at the dog park (aka Doggie Heaven) so that the dogs could play and get reacquainted. They played and played and played and played. When we got back to the house there was a little more playing (NOTE: They are actually playing tug...a game dogs typically reserve for humans)

and then a lot of sleeping....

There was also much Wii playing but apparently we don't take pictures of people anymore.
p.s. Wii = SUPER FUN!!!!
