oh bother

My sister’s dog Peanut really loves to be scratched on her lower back.

I’m not really a dog person, but I’m gradually falling for my sister’s dog, Peanut. She’s a cross between a golden retriever and a collie and she never barks. Ever. When Geoff lets her out for a pee before bed and then forgets to let her back in, she just waits patiently at the door [...]

Laura and I both got job interviews with Shaw but the position is only 2/3 of the salary the ad was advertising, the rest of it coming from commissions. To make the job even more unappealing, it’s outbound telemarketing and only part-time. Neither Laura or I want the job and as we’ve thought about it [...]

Jamie and I threw down in some Gears of War for a few hours this afternoon and then drove over to Sarah’s for her housewarming… event. Arriving almost exactly on time, we definitely arrived before the “party” began, like big losers.
In time, many others arrived including both relatives and friends of Sarah and Alex. Surprisingly, [...]

Port Stanley Vacation
Day 3
This morning, Laura and I went for a walk to get Laura-food. On our way back, we stopped at the LCBO and picked up Fusion Grenades:

Kind of a [...]

Port Stanley Vacation
Day 1
Up early today and caught the first morning bus to London. Wasn’t sure who was going to pick me up at the Greyhound station there but as it turned out it was my cousin Heidi, whom I hadn’t seen in probably four years. We drove down to Port Stanley and arrived at [...]

Laura, Katie and I took Lucy on a puppy play date with her co-worker’s little dog Cooper (who is also female):

It was pretty fun to watch them. Lucy’s used to playing with big dogs where she doesn’t have a chance in defeating them and they easily get bored. Cooper was a comparable size to Lucy [...]

When I got back into town yesterday, Laura picked me up and we went to her parents’ for dinner. Sometime over the “wedding weekend,” Alison mentioned that she’d like to see videos of Lucy, so I thought I’d oblige:
Lucy shows off her trick:

Laura and I were up early (for me) this morning, packing up the last of her things, packing them into the car and moving her out of Toronto. All that remains there now are dishes and furniture that she’s only keeping to give to her sister, anyway.
Laura’s Mennonite grandparents are selling their farm and moving [...]
