We have had a leisurely but productive couple of days re-bonding with the charming Jack as well as getting caught up on laundry, making some future travel plans, picking up a few staples, and just enjoying our lovely borrowed home and the community.
First, Jack.
as he is looking into the room where he’s fed
while lying next to the counter with his treats.
Jack is a very good boy, who does like his food (don’t we all) but also enjoys his walks, and can cajole you (with a paw tap or several) into as long a petting session with him as you’re up for. It is hard to resist.
After some long days on the road, it was great to have some relaxed time with the homeowners before they left for some fun in Portugal and Spain, and we’ve been mostly in/out side the house yesterday and today except for some errands.
Today though, we also went to the St Catharines Museum and tourist center to scope out any additional travel info that might be of use for our visit and walk a bit of the Welland Canal Path that we remembered from our last visit. We lucked out and arrived as a long barge was going through the lock.
This is a new thing for us.
I just looked up ball hockey on the web, and it says that it’s patterned after ice hockey, but no skates, no ice, and a ball is used instead of a puck. But otherwise, very related. . .
at the end of our short sniff-filled (for Jack) amble.
This has definitely been the best fall for us in a long time in terms of seeing the trees change color.
More blogs logging more active days ahead.
