Dogs and their Humans

It occurred to me as I was staying in the city and watching the hustle and bustle while having my morning coffee, that the Dogs have their humans very well trained.
Dogs of every size, shape and color attach a leash to their human and go for a walk or run every day, mostly in the morning. When the dog decides to have a poop the human, who has been given a plastic bag, cleans up after said dog. I have observed that some humans are better trained than others as once in awhile the human refuses to pick up the poop, leaving it for the homeowner where the dog pooped to do it.
Some dogs share their human's with other dogs I in fact once saw three dogs sharing one human, the poor woman was being pulled in three directions at once.
Some dogs encourage their humans to run while others feel a leisurely walk is preferable allowing them to stop and pee on every bush and hydrant they decide is appropriate.
Weather doesn't seem to deter these dogs as they are out there in the hot sunny weather as well as the days that have downpours.
I'm not advocating one way or another for or against dogs, I'm just stating my observations as they are.

Grandma's here

Grandma arrived on Thursday and we were all happy to see her. She wouldn't let me post the picture of her sliding down the slide.

The Boys got some play time in with her, Logan just loves to be tickled so tickletime was a must.

Deborah and the Boys took us to Boston Pizza for a lovely dinner.

Life is good.

Grandkids

I had the opportunity to spend a week with Deborah and the boys.

We started sunday morning with a wonderfull Father's day breakfast.

The week flew by with the school year winding down and a couple of high energy boys keeping me busy and completely entertained for the week.

Greenhouse update

After all the work that went into the greenhouse I thought I better post a picture of it in production. It works really well.

Another finished project

Allen seems to be relentless in his need to keep building so we added a storage roof onto the side of the shop. We managed to get it done through the rain storms and now it is finished so the weather will likely stay dry for awhile.
The landscaper has a little more work to do but we were cursing him so bad during the building he might be reluctant to come back and fix it up.

Tracey's R.V.

Jeanette; Here are some pictures as promised. There is a bike rack on the back to take their bikes
It's in good condition and we think they will enjoy camping in it.

Busy Weekend

Louise hadn't seen Tracey for half a year so when she got three days off we wen't to the coast. As always it was busy there all the time.
First there was a Hip Hop dance at the school.

That was followed by Sarah's dance recital, which was three performances, One on friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.

Grandma had to learn to apply the makeup Friday as Tracey was working Saturday and it fell to her to do it for that performance.

Through all the fast paced, busy confusion in that house it fell to Daniel and I to hunt down and scare off the Aliens that were trying to take over the place.

By the end of that busy weekend we managed to get back home to a slower pace of life and more memories.
