PUPPY LOVINS

Is there such a thing as too many puppies? I don't think so...as long as you get to play,cuddle and share lots of lovins with them before heading back home to the two beauties that wait with wagging tails. My friend Connie's neighbour has her hands full with seven puppies and their Mom, especially now that the puppies are old enough to want and need play time! She is one of those special people who has taken on the job of fostering this abandoned four-legged family before adoptive homes are found for all. The seven puppies are now five weeks old and cute beyond words! We had the pleasure of sharing in a "play date" with them, to help tucker them out! A fine job was done! Needless to say Taylor was in puppy heaven, although I have to admit, I too can't deny feeling many warm fuzzies myself! The only thing better than cuddling with puppies would be my memories of cuddling with Taylor as a baby ...of course those days are long gone!

We look forward to hopefully a couple more play dates with the puppies before they find their permanent homes. Hopefully they will be homes with kids...there is nothing sweeter than watching kids of all ages share in the playtime of puppies.

Puppies (any pet!) have mysterious way of warming the hearts of all who have the pleasure of holding them. They offer unconditional love to those who shelter and feed them. The joy is only compounded when you choose to make one a family member...they will be a true friend for life! Fortunately,Taylor understands that these puppies are for others to adopt, not us! We have our hands full with Java (9yrs) and Bella (1yr). Given the opportunity though...he'd take them all!

Recovering

So I am a week into my surgery recovery and all is going well. Many of you are aware of the surgery, so no need to say more. Those who aren't aware I was having one..no need for details...life is fine! So I seem to be over the wanting lots of sleep hurdle, but am limited in my activities because I can't lift or pull for several weeks. Unfortunately Bill has been away all week, but Taylor has been a real trooper helping me when I need him! So in my spare time I have been playing with my digital scrapbooking, so I'll share my projects with those who want to take a peek!

Hummmm???

So I'm back from walking the dogs and thought I'd log into my blog page. How the heck has a month gone by since I last made an entry?!? I do not know where September went, let alone finding out it's Thanksgiving Weekend!

Taylor is settled into school and is getting to know his new hockey team. He was moved up two tiers this year, so I guess his Hockey Camp helped out this summer! Hopefully he has been tiered well and gets to touch the puck often! There are some pretty BIG farm boys in Bantam, hopefully the season will be injury free! That's the part of hockey I do not enjoy, especially when it's my boy!

Bill has been busy with work, no shortage of projects for him to do at the office and home! He's been travelling lots, shorter trips that don't tend to interfere with weekends!

Me...well as I said I don't know where the time has gone. I have taken another photography course called "Understanding Lighting". I have mixed feelings on the class, as it wasn't what I expected and don't feel I got great value for the cost! Regardless I did learn some things I didn't know, played around with painting with light and hopefully will be more aware of light when I take pictures. In the Spring my friend Connie and I will probably take in another class..not sure what yet..there are a few that have caught our interest. It is great having a partner in crime to share common interests with!

So with that I'll sign off, hopefully to be back before a month passes again! I'll share a couple of our "painting with light" images with you! TFL!!!
