Last Post for the Summer

 My blogging has been so irregular, I am shutting it down for the summer. The following are a bunch of memes collected over time, in no particular order. I make no promises ab out reading blogs but will catch up periodically. 

What is the baseball score?

Grayden, German Shepherd, and Garden

 On May long weekend (19-21) Graeme took his family in a road trip to Saskatoon. First long trip for Grayden. Tanya had to work so I stuck Lucky in VIP Kennel from Fri afternoon to Sunday morning and took the Friday bus to Saskatoon. Had a great visit Friday evening and all day Saturday. 

Grayden got to meet Abigail, who is about a week older than he is. Cutest tiniest little girl ever. Her mom Gina is a good friend of my daughter's. This was Grayden's first encounter with another baby, I think. They hit it off and when Abigail got close enough he managed to get in a few kisses. 

My eyes are up here!

Let me help you with that

Well, hello there, Handsome.

Grayden didn't walk while I was there but figured out how to go downstairs backwards instead of head first. He cut two top teeth. And met four dogs. 

Sticking out his tongue is a new trick

Grayden loves to watch soap operas with his mom. Apparently Y&R is his favourite.

On Sunday, Graeme, Mishel and Grayden drove me back to Regina. I picked up Lucky from the kennel. He had a wonderful time. He is an intact male (still) so they put in in with a bunch of spayed females. He had his own harem. 

Graeme took Mishel and Grayden to visit friends and see his old stomping grounds. He put Grayden on the swing that his sisters used to ride on the playground near our home. He said there would often be 100 kids there and no adults.

They came over to our place later in the afternoon. Lucky, who loves cats and small dogs was absolutely smitten with Grayden. He wanted to sniff him and be close to him. And he so badly wanted to play with him. He brought his toys to show him and danced around in play mode. Grayden was curious but a little afraid. 

Grayden reached out for one pat. Lucky was overjoyed

The garden is coming slowly as it takes time to tear apart pallets and make raised beds, The front flowers are lovely but everything else is slow. Waiting for warmer weather I guess. I will finish another bed today for her tomatoes.
