Singin' and the Park

Singing for Kate

I love to sing. It's one of my favourite things to do. Here I am on Kate's bed. That's also one of my favourite places to be! Kate is my sister.  She has special needs so I take good care of her.

My new park

Here I am with my sister Kate and Jennifer, one of Kate's Personal Support Workers.  There are lots of nice ladies like Jennifer who visit our house to work with my sister but to be honest they really come to visit me!  I LOVE every one of Kate's helpers!   They call me the couch cuddler :)

This park is across the street from our new den.  Da likes to walk around this park every morning at 6am so I go along to keep him company.

resting in the shade

It's been such a hot summer here!  Since March we've had 90+ degree heatwaves.  I love to be outside but that's actually too hot for my liking.  Even a short walk can be overwhelming when it's 100 degrees outside so I lay in the shade to cool down a bit.  Ma and Da are building a deck and fence in our backyard.  I can't wait to spend time snoozing out there with everybody!

Yep that's me sleeping.  Ma is obsessed with taking pictures of me while I sleep.  It's embarrassing.  What's so strange about sleeping upside down anyway?

I'm good to go

Dad was checkout his new van. I thought we were going for a drive, but no such luck. They're always trying to trick me!


Later on today I'm going for a walk in the park with my two legged sister Kate. It's very warm and sunny here so hopefully I'll play in the field and mom will get some pics to post next week! hugs, ~Amy

Fun at the Leash-Free Dog Park

I met new friends today!  Here I am foolin' around at the playground.  And I got two timbits on the car trip too!
It's different here at my new house in Bowmanville and mommy says we're too busy to go on "the Facebook" :-(
But we can now blog live from our Samsung Galaxy Note :-) YAY!   ...so I will share pics of life with my humon sister Kate and our new den.  Off for more numnums...

more on my Newfoundland trip '09

okay so I never finished telling you about my great Newfoundland adventure! There were lots of animals that smelled really interesting. I wanted very, very much to get out of the truck and give chase, but nobody would let me out. Moose were everywhere! Cows with their young calves too! The weather got quite cold, windy and rainy when we got to L'Anse aux Meadows and the historic viking settlement site. It was so cold and wet that I wouldn't get out of the car. The only good part about the cold arctic winds that we ran into at the tip of Newfoundland's Northern Penninsula was that they blew icebergs close enough to the land that we could see them and get a few good pictures. We've never seen an iceberg before. Mom says global warming will eventually melt all the icebergs, so she was so happy to see some. Do you like this painting that my mom did of me? that's a real iceberg out in the ocean!

I spent hours gazing outside at the cold driving rain but still it's time for a return trip to stunning Newfoundland

Mother's Day Walkies: Oshawa's Beautiful Kinsmen Valleyview Gardens

Above:  Oshawa's beautiful Kinsmen Valleyview Gardens is one of our favourite trails and on Sunday we got to spend time there admiring the new blooms.

We usually enter the Gardens via the Arena Street Fire Hall parking lot near the creek.

Dad can be such a bore... always trying to get me to focus and pose.  Sheesh how lame!

It was a great day!  Above:  I met Baron who's a really good dog too and we played for a bit.

Enough with the poses already!

Oshawa's Kinsmen Valleyview Gardens is bordered by Adelaide Street West to the north, Kaiser Crescent to the east, Arena Street to the west and Bond Street to the south.   This park forms a northern portion of the Oshawa Creek Trail's great paved biking route.   

The Oshawa Creek Trail is an easy and scenic off-road pathway leading all the way south to Lake Ontario where you can connect with Ontario's extensive Waterfront Trail system for even more biking fun.  

World's Best Dog Food is Harvest Blend

Uncle Ron came to visit the other day to deliver my fresh bag of num-nums.   Ron is a distributor for the premium pet food called Harvest Blend.  Harvest Blend is an all natural kibble that is delicious AND it's specially formulated from the best ingredients, vitamins and minerals to keep me healthy. 

Mom and dad are still amazed that in this day and age someone actually takes the time and effort to personally deliver fresh bags of dog food right to our home!  But Uncle Ron is very prompt with a delivery once he gets our phone order.  My parents have been customers of Ron for a long time and they highly recommend this supplier and his premium dog food.  

 

Ten years ago Dad got REMARKABLE improvements in the coat of his dear Nathan, a Giant Schnauzer who suffered from severe oily dandruff when Nathan was moved to a Harvest Blend formula.  Nathan was turning grey at only 4 years of age, he had little energy and was 30 lbs. over weight on standard "store" brands of kibble. 

But after a few months on Harvest Blend Nathan's grey hair was gone and so was his dandruff and smelly coat.  But the most incredible thing about the Harvest Blend food was how Nathan slowly gained energy and lost ALL of his excess body fat.  After a year or two on Harvest Blend food Nathan's coat was glossy and wow his activity level transformed to power packed and vibrant!  In fact Nathan actually looked younger at 8 years of age than he did when he was four years old.    

Dad says Harvest Blend dog food works out be VERY affordable because it doesn't contain any fillers, chemicals, crappy meat byproducts and other junk.  It's pure goodness and energy -- so I only need to eat a few cups of this kibble per day.  I love my Harvest Blend Chicken Formula! 

Here's what the company site says:  "Harvest Blend Chicken Formula is a completely balanced premium dog food suitable for "All Life Stages". Our high quality ingredients ensure that your adult dog will receive all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients necessary to maintain a long and healthy life. The complete amino acid profile and high energy level derived from our superior protein, fat and carbohydrate sources also makes this food ideal for growing puppies, working dogs, and pregnant/lactating females."

Mom just found out that Harvest Blend has a new Salmon Formula and since this blend may have a bit more Omega oils, mom is keen to supplement my diet with it.  mmmmmm new num-nums!    I can't wait!
