A Good Dog

I am sad to report that the Pottle family dog, Kaily, passed away on Tuesday June 15. She was approximately 13 years old and apparently just died of old age, peacefully and at home, without euthanasia (which is good as my parents had been agonizing over the decision of when to let her go). She had been mostly in good health right up to the end, just deteriorating in the last few weeks. We adopted Kaily at about 1 year of age from the SPCA, and she had a good life living with my parents in St. Philip's NL ever since.
She is pictured here on a hike with my sister Susan a few years ago.
Good-bye, Kaily, you will be missed.

Last night Maki got moved into the "Advanced" class at obedience! Hurray Maki! Unfortunately in advanced class we did long down-stays all evening and that's one thing that he's not too good at. I think he has the doggie equivalent of ADD! It takes a sense of humour to obedience train a Siberian Husky, that's for sure.

Update on the canary... we still have him, no sign of any owners. But he is not doing so well. We took him to a bird vet who said he either has mites (not serious) or pox (a serious, usually terminal bird disease). Right now I'm thinking it must be pox.

Last night we found a little yellow bird sitting in front of our door when we came home from dinner. He was obviously not a wild bird. I think he is a canary. We put the cats away and herded him into our house and he is now living in our spare room while we look for his owners.

When Good Skunks Go Bad

This weekend we went to Bar H Ranch for mountain biking. It was pretty fun, but very cold out! It hovered around 0 C all weekend... brrr. On Saturday night we went for a night-ride and took the dogs with their glowing collars. About halfway through a 5 mile ride Ted saw a skunk (but the dogs didn't, luckily) and we thought, "Oh my gosh, what would we ever do if the dogs got sprayed by a skunk, and we're way out here staying in the RV."

Back to Reality

We are now back in Texas after having a great and very busy holiday in BC. We managed to see almost everybody we wanted to (no small feat), ate lots of good food, and went skiing AND snowboarding. It was amazing, and really reminded us of how much we miss living in Canada and especially in BC. I have to say that I am not too happy to be back at work this morning. Oh well, back to the grind.
