The calm before the storm.
This weekend is going to be huge. Why? Because it will mark Madeleine's first ever NHL game. And to think, it will be Ossi Vaananen's first game as a Canuck! Rest assured, the camera will be along for the ride, and assuming they allow basset hounds into GM Place you can expect photos a plenty. In the meanwhile, satiate your appetite with some other these pictures taken this week.
Madeleine is told that Trevor Linden is retired and will not be in the game on Sunday. This news caused Baby M to be a little unhappy.
Fortunately, she has been studying ancient texts and has learned quickly achieve a zen-like state in moments of distress.
All smiles again.
Learning to stand...
and crawl.
Too cute for words.
Here, Madeleine explains to her friend Lila what she will do each time a Canuck scores, delivers a big hit or drops the gloves. "It's called clapping."
What a pair!

Oscar Party
The Academy Awards were on Sunday, and of course that can only mean one thing... ice cream cake! DQ did a pretty decent job, although can you spot the mistake?
Mmm, ice cream cake. Let me at it! Here I am, as the Slum Dog Millionaire. Check out the sweet million dollar bills.
Here a couple of Benjamin Buttons: young Ben and older Ben. Nice suspenders.
Nice hair.
Nana came straight from Mumbai.
Another, more abstract, Slumdog/Millionaire costume(s).
Nice suits!
Father Pa(w).
Family portrait.

Hold on to your hats!
H'allo loyal dog blog readers, Mr Burns here. A few posts or so ago, there was call for tips to help solve the sock thievery that was running rampant. Well, I think that I've cracked the case.
This here is the prime suspect. Observe her carefully, but if you happen upon her, do not approach! She has such deadly cuteness that a confrontation could have dire results.
What do I base this accusation upon you ask? Well have a look at the following evidence. Here's mean ol' dad with the prime suspect. Note her diabolical rubbing of the hands together like some sort of Bond super-villain.
Mere moments later, Dad is out of the picture and his hat has been deviously acquired by you know who!
I say, a hat is an item of clothing, so too are socks. Therefore, the culprit must be one and the same. How's that for deductive logic? Sherlock Holmes, you can put that in your pipe and smoke it!! Still not convinced? Check out this post- offence consciousness of guilt. Hiding from what, I ask?
In other happenings, things are looking up for Madeleine at the Oscar party tomorrow. Check back soon for some sure-to-be-embarrassing pictures.
Another cute Madeleine snapshot.
Whew, that's enough for now. Time to relax.
Alright, encore time. Sad that she's not even one year old and she's already slamming doors on her father.
