Spring Break

It's Spring Break here in my part of Canada. That means, no school for the kids!

 

 

Beep (my granddaughter), will be spending her break time with me for the next 5 days.

We have lots of projects planned, sewing, baking, art, card making, a Super Mario Brother's tournament on Wii U, some camera lessons fun, and of course a nature walk or two (if the weather stays nice).

So...I won't have much time to post, or visit and comment on blogs.
 
I'll be back in a few days!

Tree top territory

 Hey, what are you doing in my tree?

 

 It's my tree buddy, scram!

 

I'm taking over the tree!

 

That's what you think.

 

Foiled again!

 

Black and grey squirrels are the same species. A mutation in the gene that governs coat pigmentation is responsible for the black colouring. The testosterone-fuelled black squirrels are faster, fitter, fiercely territorial and more aggressive, beating greys to food and mates.

Random Merfiness

 

1. Merfy turned 6 last week. That would be 38 in dog years. He is a "toy" breed, so his dog years are calculated accordingly. A dog's age is calculated according to size, not every dog year equals 7 human years.
 

2. His favourite dog treat is a yogurt dipped biscuit.

 

3. He only gets one on special occasions.

 

 

4. Merfy is very affectionate, and is a "kissy" dog.

 

 

5. Beep (our granddaughter) is his favourite person to kiss!

Thank goodness I brush his teeth regularly!

 

Here's a little chart explaining dog years
