My challenge: to take Ollie (at the time, a five-month-old Border Terrier puppy) on our regular summer sea-kayaking trips on Georgian Bay. Canoeing with a dog is easy. Kayaking with a dog seemed a bit more difficult. So I dreamt up a contraption that would allow Ollie to join us on these kayaking trips. Thanks […]

Family matters
Ollie & siblings at 8 weeks, originally uploaded by Gavatron. Heather, Ollie and myself had a great little experience this morning–we met (Heather & Ollie for a second time and me for the first) Fozby, one of Ollie’s litter-mates (or, as Max, Fozby’s alpha-male, refers to the two of ’em: “the Beavertown Boys”). The two […]

The Proud Puppy Handler and Graduate
As you can see from the photo above, Ollie passed his puppy obedience class. We’re all so proud of him (too bad he can’t read yet). If you follow the photo above, Dad’s got a nice set of pictures from the whole class. Originally uploaded by corbeau_du_nord.
I touched dog poo today. I love having a dog.
Ollie snuck a second round on me and I had to unwrap the sealed poo bag. Never a good thing.
Woofstock 2006
I went to Woofstock with Heather, Ollie, Dad and Sue today. It would be an understatement to say it was an experience. Ollie had a blast-so many dogs to meet. It also seemed like Heather really enjoyed herself. Highlight of the day? Doggie Ice Cream. Who knows what the stuff is made of, but the […]
