More Chloe Updates

Chloe’s house training is going pretty good, she has the odd accident, but we are all learning.

cartoon

She loves the backyard, and loves running into the back garden much to Susan’s dismay. We keep carrying her out.

Chloe

Her is Chloe carrying the watering can.

And her she is with her popcorn pail.

Chloe

She is a good puppy and fitting in just fine, or should I say we’re fitting in just fine with her.

Chloe Chronicles

Back from the west coast and happy to be home. According to Susan and the girls, Chloe did pretty good this past week adjusting her her new home. I could see a difference in her size from last week. Chloe went to the vets on Wednesday and she checked out okay. She goes back next week for her second shot and then she can start going for walks a week later. We’re still puppy proofing the backyard, one night she managed to get under the deck and create havoc for those on the deck. They coaxed her out with some treats and Lars, Grandma and Claudia were able to block off the holes.

Blog Hiatus

I’m heading back out to BC today for work, I’ll be in Richmond for a couple of days and then going to Saturna Island for the remainder of the week. My Chloe updates will be back next week. I’ll try and update the work blog which I have neglected over the past few months. IF I get it updated, I’ll post the link here. Have a good week.


Life With Chloe

Today was Chloe’s first full day with her new family and she was making out just fine. She loves the atention and running around the house. The challenge has been having to learn to watch out where we step. Here is Gillian with Chloe.

Gillian and Chloe

She doesn’t seem to mind her kennel, I had to add an insert to make it a little more snug. She naps and sleeps at night in her kennel.

Crate

Here is her Kong Wubba that came with her package. She loves to chew it and run around with it.

Wubba

Here she is trying to chew the front hall carpet.

Chloe

She plays around with the tennis balls and she can keep herself occupied for awhile with it.

Ball

She likes the hall mirror, she likes to sneak up and attack herself.

She is making out better in the grass after I cut it.

Introducing…

Chloe!!

We headed out this morning to pick up our new addition. We had to go to Aspley, north of Peterborough, the traffic across the city and north was good. Once we saw her we decided that Chloe was a suitable name. The lady said she was her favourite, but I’m sure she tells everyone that. Here is Angela and Chloe.

Angela and Chloe

We had to stop for a coffee and gas on the way back. Here she is with Claudia.

Claudia and Chloe

We stopped in at Grandma and Grandpa’s for some lunch and a break from the long drive.

Chloe

She was pooped after playing and had a sleep.

Chloe

She has been very good so far, she plays and she sleeps, when she has fallen asleep we have been able to move her into the kennel and she stays in it for her nap. We’ll see how her first night goes.

Claudia and Chloe

Here she is sitting with Susan.

Then she decided she wanted to lay on her head.

Angela

She likes to run around the backyard. I had to cut the grass because she was tripping in the long grass.

How Did You Fare?

How did you fare in the storm that brought tornado watches and warnings from Environment Canada. We only the got the heavy rain and some brief periods of high winds. Our power went out briefly, just long enough to mess up the digital clocks. Here is a picture out the front door.

Storm

Within a couple of hours, the sun was out and the worst was heading to Vaughn.

Our house


Storm Video

Here is a flash video of the lightning storm on Sunday August 9th, it was looking out at the backyard.


Couple of More Days

Only a couple of more days until we pick up the puppy, I don’t think we have settled on a name, but leaning towards our earlier choices. Pretty sure it won’t be “Fat Moron Pig”.

Here are our puppy progress photos for this week.

I plugged the holes in the fence this past weekend. We went to PetSmart to buy a crate and some chew toys.

Documentary on Uncle Tak

I came across this on the internet today, Catharine Chesterman, an independent broadcast producer is currently directing and producing a documentary for CTV/Bravo on Uncle Tak. It will air on Bravo this fall as part of the,

“GREAT CANADIAN BIO-SERIES – New (Original Canadian, 8 x :60) Bound together to form a new Bravo! series, these individual documentaries are stunning and in-depth features of some of Canada’s greatest talents. Well-known Canadians include Glenn Gould, Yousuf Karsh, Ian Tyson, Gordon Pinsent, Denny Doherty, Des McAnuff, and Takao Tanabe. Each episode provides a look at the lives of Canadians who have left their mark on this country.”

Here are the girls with Uncle Tak during a visit to his house this summer on our trip.

We bought a food and water dish tonight. We still need to pick up a few things and I have to plug a few holes along the one side of the yard and put some new latches on the gates.
