  • Sunday Afternoon Romp & Monday Vet visit

    House bound too long, after church yesterday, I donned the long parka, mitts and coffee mug, very pleased to get out and get some sunshine despite the cold.
      The feeder near the ravine was a twitter with chickadees... can you spot them among the branches?
    Met up with another dog walker of three large also rescue dogs. Apparently we were not the only ones needing to get out as this Sunday afternoon meeting of walkers and dogs illustrates...Nanuq is curious on the contents of the bably stroller! The baby is 9 months & puppy 12 weeks and only conflict at home was over toys!Everyone ended sniffing and greeting.

    Off in the open field just above the ravine ....following the path above the ravine on return walk .How many dogs can hold onto one stick?
    Romps and rolls.. Last minute  before heading up the hill to the car.


    MONDAY VET VISIT

    Could this have all been done with a simple $8 bottle of benedryl and not the $170 trip to the vet? Nauuq was whining most of this   morning and not much unusual until I noticed the puffy eyes and remembers that she was slightly vomity earlier but not unusal as she chews most anything, but fearing the worst I called the vet. A possible allergy reaction..note the puffy muzzle and eyes..ate something off  or bitten by an insect. Where does one find insects in the middle of winter in Alberta! But off to the vet for both dogs. I'll get weighed too, both dogs are about the same just over 50 lbs but Nanuq is a kilo heavier.Resident cat on the vets counter..love the mukticolored toe nails... .very non-plussed by this barky adolescent puppy! Later at home happily chewing away.

    I took the bendryl and took a nap!

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
