Happy (very belated) Canada Day

Hello all you patient dog blog readers. If there any of you left. This has probably been the longest entry delay of all time. Sorry about that.

Canada Day was a blast.

Go Canada!
There has been a great deal of public clamour for pictures of the new place. Y'all gonna have to be patient. But here's a teaser!!!

Complaints? Take a number!

You just can't please all the critics...

First there was the barrage of complaints about the length of time since the last post, and then lots of whining about the lack of me.

Well I'm not too vain, as you all well know, but I was even accused of not going on this latest trip. As if my parents would be so cruel.

So as answer to all those haters out there, this blog features lots of me! In case you forgot, I love me some bacon: feel free to provide a side or two as a housewarming gift.
Madeleine shows me some love.
What a cute pair, n'est pas?
Mmm, unguarded pillows? Advantage Burns.
Because I like to share the spotlight, here's a random Madeleine outtake from blog postings past.

USA, A-Okay

It was time for a little weekend vacation, so off the family goes to Deception Point, Washington.

There is a famous bridge.
And here is a cute baby in front of a famous bridge.

In the USA, it is actually sunny.
In America, they have this neat thing called swings.

Weekend fun

Hello there loyal dog blog readers! Here's what we've been up to lately.

Hanging out in our old home - counting down the days until we get all that extra space!

Enjoying, the err, nice Vancouver summer weather?!?
Actually one of the highlights was going down to Iona Beach for a little footie! Madeleine is gearing up for the World Cup.
"Pass to me Moma! I'm open."
A race for the free ball.
Don't tell M, she can't use her hands, it will ruin the fun.
There was also a visit to Burnaby to check out this sweet model train park. Despite the deluge Madeleine enjoyed herself.
Cuteness!

May Two-Four

You can really feel that summer is in the air! We've begun that amazing stretch where every month has a long weekend. There was a little bit of rain early on, but that did stop the Baby M from putting the roof down and driving off to the Children's Festival in Kitsilano.

We went to a concert, which was fun, but didn't allow photography. To be completely honest - and I always am - there wasn't a whole lot going on at this so-called festival. Well, there were tall giraffes. Or at least one. And I guess it's not that tall. And it's made of wood. And it was actually outside the festival...

No matter, the lack of anything to do meant that there was lots of time for photos.
Lots and lots of time.
This weekend was also Mom's Birthday. Here Madeleine helps her wish for a better Children's Festival next year.
Cuteness.
By popular request, here's an encore photo from Uroma's visit last weekend. Auf wiedersehen!
