Early August 2010

After a totally miserable June where it rained non-stopped for the entire month, we had a July where it didn't rain at all. Nice for sun-tanning for most folks, but for poor basset hounds, well it was kind of hot!
As you can see, we have some visitors. Madeleine is having some fun, Opa is all business.
Madeleine knows the secret to beating the summer heat. Who needs some cold water?
The alternative means of staying cool! Everybody into the pool.
Madeleine know that in this heat the plants need a sprinkling every day.

Uh oh, what this?!? The invasion of the box-men?
Madeleine saves the day! It's only Daddy.

Is this the beginning of a really bad habit?
Madeleine takes a photo of her Annou.
The summer hasn't been all fun and games. Madeleine has been expanding her cultural horizons by learning about some Native culture.
They've set up this neato exhibit at Stanley Park.
Madeleine seemed to enjoy herself.

Random caption for neat picture for which I can't think of how to describe but included because I thought it was pretty cute.
Off to the market.
New housecoat!
Happy days.
Sorry for the long gap between posts, as a reward for your loyalty, here's one more picture.

The Weekend

The summer weekend. Is there anything better? Here's what we've been up to.

New bath gizmos!
New hotrod rides!
Look out, that baby's fuel injected. So too is the car.
Man they put a lot of these things at Landsdowne Centre.
Relaxing on the patio.
A wee bit of Dora.
More baths, this time the bubble variety.

Random happenings.

Madeleine plants a big wet one on Dad...
because it was his birthday this weekend. 32 if you can believe it.
Madeleine had some fine couture flown in from Europe for the occasion.
Birthdays are a fun time round these parts.
Family shot.

Big and small.

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.
Baby M with Aunt Penny.
The whole family on the Steveston boardwalk.
Up close with Mom and Madeleine.
The family at the Canada Day Parade, as boring as ever.
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!!!
