Weekend Happenings
Jeniese is celebrating her birthday today, so we wish her a very happy day. She wasn't feeling to good on Friday so hopefully she is going not to be too sick to eat her birthday cake.
Yesterday we hosted our first Adoption Information Day at our local IGA store. The reception and welcome we received was fabulous. Some, who had already adopted from Foxy's dropped by and spent some time. It's great living in a small village where you know lots of people, and if you don't know them someone you are talking to knows them.
Missy, my little blonde cocker, came along with me and was a huge hit with everyone. Had to stop people from trying to take her home. That's her in the picture. She was at a local pound in November and scheduled to be euthanized because she had a massive ear infection. She had also been returned to them 3 times in 4 years. She is the sweetest dog you have ever met. So we are assuming that her previous "guardians" (and I say that lightly) didn't want to take care of her ears as she seems prone to the infections. But she is the happiest little dog you'd ever want to meet. We kept waiting to find out what we were missing, but so far haven't been able to find a single thing that would make you want to give her up. Her ears are all fixed now and although she has to be on daily drops, everything is good.
Huge thank you to Victor, who was fostering Ziggy, along with his wife Helene. He came down and helped out for a few hours. He and Helene also hosted the foster junk food night evening on Friday night. More about that in a minute.
Today, we'll be doing another information session from 12:00 - 3:00pm.
Friday night we held a foster junk food night. Victor and Helene had designated Friday's a junk night for themselves. Anything goes in the way of junk food. So they invited us to participate. We had a great evening. Johane and Boyd came with their two little Foxy dogs, Tuffy, a miniature schnauzer, and Joy, a tiny little blonde American Cocker. They had a blast with Pedro, Helene and Victor's 100lb dog. Joy and Tuffy must about 25lbs between the two of them, lol.
Catherine dropped by too, while son Max was at Cubs. Stephie was supposed to drop by but took sick in the afternoon. Seems to be going around out here, people dropping like flies with this head cold, so crossing fingers it doesn't reach our house.
We had pizza, chili, and poutine, which Victor made and seems to be quite and art to making it. For those of you don't know what poutine is, its a Quebec dish, of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. Yes, I know, sound disgusting, which is what I thought for years, but, man, once you've tasted it you're hooked.
Hope you all have a good day today.
