Spring Weather Update

So today we wake up to mega snow & freezing temperatures! It was -21C with the windchill when I headed out with Tate for a walk(at 9 am. this morning).....Tate was very annoyed at having to put his boots on again, but I know that if it is more then -20 he will start picking up his feet within a half hr. of our walk.
As you can see by the photos, the wind was blowing quite strongly, Tate wouldn't admitt it, but he was glad to have his boots on!
This is Tate looking at me & wondering why I kept taking pictures if my finger tips were numb!! I was wondering too, so I put the camera away after this shot & started for home & a warm cup of coffee!

It's Baaaaack!!!!!

Well I guess it's payback time.....I have been bragging to all my family & friends back in Thunder Bay about how wonderful the weather is here, & how we haven't had snow since February.....well, this is what I woke up to this morning. Plus it's cold to boot, minus 18 with the windchill.

These are views from the front & back of my house & it's still coming down! It will be snowing all day today & all night too...oh joy!

Paybacks a @#$%* isn't it!!!!!

Computer class

So, Wendy is over at my house right now & drinking wine, well, we're both drinking wine!!! Anyway, she came by to give me lessons so I didn't have to spend 3 hrs on one blog post.....the problem is, because we're drinking, I probably won't remember anything I have learned. So, I guess she will just have to come back again!!! (& drink more wine , of course!!)

Oh, the picture is of Tate last year on his 5th Birthday.

Meet Ben

So I'm getting a little better at this scanning/posting thing. Wendy will be so proud! This only took me 20 min. to do....yippee!! There's no stopping me now, & I have a captive audience to view all my favorite shots! I'd like to introduce you all to Ben, my very first collie. I got Ben when I was 15 yrs old. This was taken in 1982, 26 yrs ago!! , probably before most of you were born! He was 7 yrs old in this picture. Ben was such a smart collie , probably the quickest to learn new things, if only I could have a second chance with him now, knowing all I have learned in the last 33 yrs.

Computer "Challenged" !!

Oh my goodness!!!!! It is 11:13 pm. & I have been sitting at this computer since 8pm.!!! Why you ask???? Well, Wendy, my boss at Paws On The Run , kindly loaned me her scanner to scan old pictures that I have tucked away in albums. That way, I can share my favorite storys & have pictures to go with them......however, I have NO idea what I am doing!! So, it has taken me all this time to scan this one picture & get it to post......the sad thing about it is , I can't even remember now how I did it!!!

Anyway, this is a picture of my collie Drake....he was from the same kennel as Tate......this was taken in 1994 while in Niagara New York.....we were competeing at the Collie Club of America National Specialty. There were 33 open sable males in our class....needless to say, we didn't place!! Enjoy this picture, I may never try this again!.....Good Night!
