We can travel with our puppy now

January 16, 2008 by Tricia

I just realized that now that our puppy has all of her shots we can take her not just to the park, but over the boarder to the US soon!

She finished her shots last Monday so she should have built up immunity and recovered fully from her shots by this weekend. Yeah … we can go to the park or maybe to the beaches for the first time with our puppy! Cool. Oh and she also had her rabies shot too.

Apparently if we want to bring her with us to the States we should have proof of rabies vaccination and proof of age. I guess it’s a good thing that we got her registration certificate for the Canadian Kennel Club as well this week. The certificate lists her parents names – Buck Shot Buck is the Sire – good name, her tattoo numbers, her CKC registration number, our names and her date of birth.

So now if we want to say visit Niagara Falls and then slip over to the US side with our dog we can. Heck, maybe we’ll do a road trip vacation in a few months. I’ve always wanted to go to Carolina’s Outer Banks. Several of our friends have been there and they say it’s a lovely vacation area. It’s a long drive, but not too bad. We just need to make time for a road trip. They do take longer than flying to a vacation spot after all.

Help me plan a kids party

January 13, 2008 by Tricia

I seem to know a lot of people that are expecting kids soon. In the last weeks I’ve gone to one baby shower (for my niece) and been invited to two more!

If that weren’t enough one of my friends is having a big birthday party for her little boy who’s turning 10 next month and she’s asked me to give her a hand. I’ve got a list of things that she’d like me to help with such as helping her pick out the party decorations and kids party invitations. We’ve also got to come up with some kind of entertainment.

Thinking of entertainment for a kids birthday party in the summer is easy but in the dead of winter … hmmm … I have no idea. I think clowns and magicians have been over done. I wonder what other kind of entertainment I can find.

The best idea that I can come up with is that I know the owner of an exotic pet store. I wonder if I could ask him to get one of his staff to bring some animals to the party? That might work.

Any other ideas?

Just a nice lazy day

January 12, 2008 by Tricia

Chris and I are just having a very lazy Saturday.

Actually this is the first weekend in a while that we’re both home. The last two weekends Chris went to Brantford to help out with things at his parents and to visit with his brother that was up from Chicago (last weekend).

We both slept in, much to our puppies disappointment. However we both needed it. She’s totally changed both our schedules since we got her and this was the first time we’ve both slept in since she’s been with us. So she ate her breakfast a little late this morning. That’s ok.

Since the weather was fairly nice and there’s no snow on the ground Chris went out and raked the leaves that had blown onto the lawn. So now our garden beds have a little extra winter protection and the yard looks so much nicer. The dishes and laundry also got done.

Wait … didn’t I say it was a lazy Saturday … hmmm seems we got a bit more accomplished than I thought. Still it’s felt kind of lazy as we’ve just been sitting back for the last few hours watching shows that we taped on the PVR.

Even our puppy’s been having a lazy day. She was in her crate a bit longer than normal today since we both slept in and she was in her crate when some of the yard and house work were done as well. After that we had a good play session … A play session with the puppy usually consists of playing ball with her for oh maybe two or three hours!

I guess we tired her out or she’s picking up on our “just relax” mood because she fell asleep on the couch at 9 pm which is much earlier than normal. She just woke up a few minutes ago and wanted to go outside to do her business and now she’s on the lazyboy chair looking like she’s about to fall asleep again. Maybe last nights puppy training class wore her out.

How was your Saturday?

One of the movies I was in is on TV tonight

January 5, 2008 by Tricia

Long time readers of this blog might remember that way back when I had my own jewelry business (I would diamond cut designs on rings, bracelets, pendants and so on, gold plate jewelry and create jewelry molds – my business was called “Gold Cuts”) I also did some extra work in the movies and commercials.

Well … I did that for about two years when I was first starting my business, as well as working part time at jewelery store outside the city, working for another jeweler in the building I was in and at the Toronto Convention Center as a security guard. Yes, I held down a lot of part time jobs in order to pay the bills as my business got on it’s feet.

Of all the jobs that I did during that first year or two as I got my business going the extra work was by far the most fun. It didn’t pay all that well, but it was certainly an interesting experience. Plus it was fun to spot myself in some of the commercials and movies as they came out.

One of the movies that I was an extra in was called The Brain. It was supposed to be a horror movie, but I doubt anyone watching it was all that scared. It was a very bad movie!

I never did buy a copy of the movie when it came out and I think went straight to video, but Chris and I did rent it one night just for laughs. I think I can be seen in the movie five times. The best scene is one where I’m in the audience and I’m screaming in horror.

Last night I was going through the channels setting up shows I wanted to tape on our PVR (that’s like a TIVO) and I discovered that The Brain is being shown on DRIVIN tonight at 7:15 pm and again at 7 am on Sunday morning.

In the Toronto area DRIVIN is channel 327 on Rogers. I think you have to have the movie channel package to get that channel.

Just to show you how cheesy the movie is the TV description says: “Viewers of a talk show kill themselves after the host becomes allied with an alien brain.”

Uh huh … bad movie. LOL I think most of the movie takes place in the TV Studio so there’s no sexy scene or sexy corsets or anything remotely enticing! Believe me it would have helped the movie if there were some scenes like that.

If you are the least bit interested in seeing this movie be warned that it’s not a very good movie at all. If you just want to see me in it I suggest that you tape the movie and then fast forward until you get to the studio audience scenes and then watch for a girl in a blue dress. As I said there’s one scene where I’m doing a great fake horror scream and you can see my quite well in that shot.

This is the first time I’ve actually had a chance to make a copy of the movie. If I can I’ll try to get some screen shots of my “scenes“.

Let me know if you get a chance to see the movie.

Did you know that leashes are tasty?

This weeks theme is delicious

I think our Lab puppy, Midnight, finds her leather leash to be absolutely delicious. She’s always trying to chew on it when we first put it on her. In the above photo I’d put the leash on before I got my winter coat and other gear on so she had time to settle down for a good chew.

Here’s an areal view:

She already chewed through, or well just about chewed through, her vinyl leash just before Christmas. I wonder how long this one will last?

As you can see she’s grown a bit and I think she’s gained some weight. She’s doing a lot better although I think she’s still fighting something. She goes for her third set of shots on Monday.

We can travel with our puppy now
