Topics I've StartedBon Voyage, Ciao And Vidimo Se!27 April 2013 - 12:42 PM Going on our May Croatia trip in just a few days so thought I'd drop in to tell you that I've not dropped off the face of the planet. Will be happy to trade snow for green grass, blooming plants and warm temps. Cannot wait to see what our house renos look like!
Please tell me I won't miss our Bingley too much.
"Talk" to you soon! Will report back on some of the intriguing culinary delights we discover (I'm sure there will be one or two as usual).
Prodigal Daughter Has Returned!11 March 2013 - 06:32 AM The last two weeks have been rather interesting and will help to explain my lack of posting. My time has been devoted to our darling rescue puppy. My husband and I went with the intent to foster but when we saw our fluff we knew we had to adopt. The vet believes he is seven months old with some husky, chow and corgi in him (interesting mix). As I explain, he looks like a cross between a wolf and a bear cub. He is creamy coloured with some white bits and lots of charcoal grey/black on his back. He is about 35 lb so much smaller than a husky (thankfully) and very, very fluffy and soft. From the back he looks like a bear cub as his hind end is rounded. He sort of lumbers like a bear, too.
Anyway, my time has been spent showering him with love and affection and teaching him commands. Not only that, but mixing his raw food is a part time job!
Our border collie died three years ago and we had a very difficult time with her death. This fluff ball is as different as you can get from her which is a good thing. He is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo precious.
Dog people will understand my blathering. I guess as he is a rescue it is even more important that I spend time bonding with him and teaching him things quickly.
Now I've finally got back into routine. Just. I feel like I brought home a newborn from the hospital (without going through the labour).
I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Get this - for the first week I didn't even COOK! We just lived on scraps that we threw together. We absolutely adore him. He is devoted to us and feels very comfortable in his new home. He was rescued from an Indian reserve, poor thing. It just makes me tear up thinking about what he has been through in his young sweet life. So he can run in the back yard, I trampled through thigh-deep snow to create paths (otherwise it is far too deep). Now he can zip along all sorts of routes. We're working on walking with a leash. Not going that well but that will come. He is smart and has learned his name (Bingley as in Pride and Prejudice) quickly. He has learned several commands. He sticks to me like velcro and watches me with adoration as I do dishes, etc. (when I get around to them! 
)
