Tales from the Bush in Quebec

I was sitting there chatting with Helen (my ex-tenant and great freund ), enjoying every minute of being surrounded by family and friends for our annual birthday party. Because the storms had come and gone, it was finally held in my youngest son’s backyard. It was a lovely, late afternoon. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone who has been reading my posts will know the story of my applying to adopt a young female pit-bull, called Mommy, then ending up coming home with her and five of her 2 week old puppies. It was the best of times and the worst of times. In spite of the extra work (and lots of that!), I can... Sign in to see full entry.

2 AM this morning. Comfy as I was lying there cuddled by my beasts, I knew I might as well get out of bed and do something – there would be no more sleeping for the moment. The two ladies watch as I pull on slippers in the semi-darkness, but they don’t budge. They always wait. Experience tells them... Sign in to see full entry.

Great Scott! Three whole months to the day (night) since I have posted anything on my personal blog or in Blogit!

It can only be quiet around my house for so long, although just 3 days is maybe pushing it a bit.... The parties were over and I was back to work, and Mommy and Bandit and I were resting up in the evenings. Then the call came in. A friend of mine contacted me with an SOS – a five month old puppy was... Sign in to see full entry.

I so wish that everyone out there could have shared this holiday season with me; shared preparations, the smells of baking and the balsam spruces decorated with pretty colored lights; shared the playing and giggles of the children, the good-natured ragging of the adults, the food, the warmth, the...

I worked all day Thursday. I wanted to finish early but, as usual, one knows when one goes into the office but never when one will get to leave. Even with everything supposed to be on holiday minor emergencies kept coming up, so I left later than planned. I was bushed, as I seem to be after any full... Sign in to see full entry.

Last year, at this time on this night, I was in the delivery room with my son and little DIL, who was so sick, yet straining to bring her daughter safely into this world. At 11:04 PM our little Miko was born. While she spent the first 3 months attached to machines in the hospital, my Blogit... Sign in to see full entry.
