The Buzz Queen

This week’s Manic Monday theme is ‘wind’.
When I first saw the theme this week, I thought of ‘wind’ as in ‘wind up a toy’, not as in ‘the wind is blowing’. And the first thing that came to mind was how I love to wind up my neighbour.
I’ve talked about her before on my […]

The theme for this week’s photo hunt is ‘tiny’.
The first thing that came to mind is the new tiny baby we’ve had the pleasure to watch in the back orchard the past couple of days. I’ve been waiting for MONTHS to see if any of the deer would come around with a fawn, and […]

Ms Linda tagged me eons ago for the ‘8 Things’ meme.
I’ve done this one a couple of times before, so thought I’d come up with a different spin on it, instead of 8 things about me. Since we are in total transfer mode at the moment, and can’t wait to get to our new […]

Our 8 month old Great Dane, Mattie, is losing his marbles. It started out as an innocent act on my part - I found my daughters laser pointer a few weeks ago, and thought I’d see what Mattie thought of it. (Since it had previously given us hours of pleasure with the cat!) […]

I got this in an email years ago, and picked my top 13 favourites. (Although they were all funny to us!)
You know you are a Great Dane owner when:
1. your dog can hide an entire tennis […]

The fabulous Shaz of Us Danes has given me the Schmoozer award which I really don’t deserve right now! Here is the definition:
“As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out […]

I announced today on my other blog that our family will soon be on the move again.
My husband is a Corporal with the RCMP (Canada’s National police force), and he was the successful candidate in a promotion to a Sergeant’s position in a small town on Vancouver Island. We’ve lived in this community before, […]

Today was Canada’s 140th Birthday, and since the 1st falls on a Sunday this year, most people get tomorrow off as well. Today was actually a beautiful day - one of the few and far between lately, and since we have company for the weekend, we headed off to the beach.
Our girls are at […]
