Some more photos of the backyard. The benches are from Ikea, we initially bought the single and double and then thought we should get another double, but they were sold out at all the GTA Ikea’s. Last weekend we were down in Burlington at the MEC and we stopped in and there was one left on a skid, they must of just got another shipment that day.

The post in the foreground is the last remnant of the girls play structure, it was a support post for the swing set. I realized the other day that it was also a scratching post for Carla and the one corner is carved out from her claws. Guess it’ll have to stay now.

The first time Chloe saw the Dum Dum statue in the garden she started barking at it, she is good with it now.

I gave Chloe a much needed haircut last weekend, she had a good goatee going, even a few people at the girls soccer games commented on it. Other than the fact she dripped more water than usual after getting a drink, Claudia and I liked it, Angela was impartial, but Susan and Gillian didn’t. So a couple of photos before I trimmed it back.

Here we are relaxing on our new outdoor furniture, sitting in the shade.
