I'm so excited! Christmas is coming. I'll think I'll just sit in my favourite chair and wait ....like a GOOD DOG! so Santa doesn't forget me.

Hi Folks, a Sterling book review coming up! "My Dark Vanessa" by Kate Elizabeth Russell. This is an incredibly powerful (just like powerful me!...who dragged th...is branch for blocks.) book. At fifteen years of age, Vanessa Wye becomes sexually entangled with her 42 year-old teacher. Not only do we witness the guile with which he encourages her to go along with this, but we also witness the aftermath....for both as she tries to continue her life and he continues to deny any wrongdoing. It helps to explain why it takes years for some who have been abused to come forward, and why for some, it becomes a lifelong obsession. Written with sensitivity and understanding, it is a compelling and impressive debut novel. See more

Much needed rest after a walk with Mum this morning. Whew!

Sterling here. I'm at the table waiting for my dessert. What do you mean the cookies are at the store? Oh, those cookies! The really great shortbreads, in a var...iety of flavours, from Sprucewood Bakery in Coburg? But I'm not allowed to eat those....they're people cookies (or so Mum and Dad say). They sound so good! I'm relegated to admiring them from afar....see, I can be a good dog! See more

You know it...

This chart is foolproof!

***UPDATE*** REUNITED!! Cinny is home safe & sound after 3 days, 1 hours :) Please spread the word! Cinny was LOST on Nov 14 2020 in Brampton, ON L6P 0A6 near C...astlemore Side Road and the Gore Road Brampton Message from Owner: This dog is an angel. Very shy. Can be mistaken for a coyote in the field. She lives on a farm and therefore he's extremely shy to approach anyone. If you see her please notify us immediately. She is more than likely lost as she was spooked over and over by the fireworks. Help us bring her home. Thank you so much Description: Light-colored black and tan Shepherd. Very shy. 6 years old. For more info or to contact Cinny's owner, click here: https://www.pawboost.com/p/6614555 Lost or found a pet? Report it to PawBoost here: https://pbrs.io/l/rpl

Especially now that the big box stores can stay open for browsing and we independents can’t.

My pawrents told me I need to find better friends. Apparently, those slow-moving, black with white stripe critters don't make good friends especially when they turn their back to you. I won't be in for a few days 'cuz, apparently, I stink! I'll miss you!

Who's also alergic to 'real life' things?

Found a treasure on our walk. Very thoughtful of these people to leave a chair out here. Mum didn't want to bring it home for me for some weird reason.

Thanks to St. Martin's... works for Caledon @yourcaledon

Sterling here. I'm helping cook this pot of what will be scrumptious Squash soup. Can I lick something for you Mum?

My pawrents were surprised I could get this wet just from rolling in the grass. What can I say? I have talent.

Mum told me "not to leave this chair!" So I didn't....kinda.

WE just received new soaps from The Soap Hut! Made in Bolton. We can bring them to the door if you want to smell them first.

Some of our new GAMES, TOYS and PUZZLES! In stock now! Come in Tues. to Sat. 12-5 to see the rest.

We filled this bin with many of our stocking stuffers, so you can still shop for them. Just knock on our door and we'll bring the bin out for your perusal. We're here Tues. to Sat. 12-6 and Sun. 12-4.

Yikes! My pawrents are torturing me! They just got these amazing shortbread cookies in and I CAN'T EAT THEM!.
