Beat the Heat for Canines

Summer is here. Where I live just outside of Toronto, Ontario we've had ourselves some pretty scorching weather recently. It's hard on us humans but even worse for our furry family members so I thought I'd give you a few tips to help them cope with the summer heat. Water, water and more water! This…

Buddy the… puppy???

If you've read my previous post introducing Buddy, you know that he is a very mischievous, daredevil of a cat that has presented us with many challenges. Buddy is only allowed out of his room, my son's bedroom, when we are home and can supervise him. This is for his own safety. Returning him to…

Spring (aka Shedding Season)

Winter overstayed her visit this year but Spring seems to have finally stepped in and evicted her bitter cousin. I'm excited to see the irises blooming and fresh leaves just making their appearance on my hydrangea and rose bushes. The birds are chirping and the sun is shining. The grass is green thanks to a…

Chevy

I thought I’d go ahead and introduce you to our 4th furbaby. I’ve left this one to last as he is the oldest of our little zoo and this will be the most difficult one to write about. Meet Chevy. Chevy is our 6-year-old Siberian Husky German Shepherd cross. We rescued him when he was…

Keera “The Tank”

It’s time to introduce you to yet another of my fur babies. Check out previous posts to meet Buddy and Cassie. (Just FYI, I’ve been doing these youngest to oldest.) Allow me to introduce you to Keera. She is a Golden Mountain Dog which is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Bernese Mountain…

Cassie Whispers

I should properly introduce you to Cassie. She would be appalled at my lack of manners. You briefly met her in an earlier post and I promised then that I’d tell you more about her. We got Cassie from a local animal shelter. She was one of a large number of cats and kittens rescued…

Knitting with Cassie

I recently finished the blanket sweater I've been working on. I used this easy pattern from Mama in a Stitch. It was a really fast project and I'm quite happy with the finished product. I've got a couple skeins left because I bought too much (accidentally on purpose). I'm sure I'll find another great pattern…

Buddy the Destroyer

We currently have 4 fur babies in our family, 2 dogs and 2 cats. 3 of the 4 are rescues. Prior to these 4, there were 3 dogs and 3 cats (not all at the same time). Each animal has provided us with challenges, but my son’s cat has taken this to a whole new…
