Merry Christmas!

Abby and Dax had a very busy Christmas! Here they are on Christmas Night after all the presents were opened and the turkey eaten!

 Dax was so tired, he couldn't even lift his head up when he saw me taking this picture!

Merry Christmas to everyone from Dax and Abby!

Keeping Dad warm!

Dad has a bit of a chill, so Dax is helping to keep him warm!

Having a nap!

 Here is Dax settling in for a nap under the Christmas quilt!



Dax is Bored!!!!!

I was working from home and Dax spent the entire morning sleeping. Until around noon. Then he was bored. Here he is trying to get my attention - perhaps I'd like to go sit on the sofa and cuddle with him?

After 10 minutes of trying to get my attention, he gave up and I spotted this pathetically bored, but incredibly comfy looking, pose. Luckily he got to go out for his walk about 15 minutes later!

What was that?

 All sorts of noises go on around the neighbourhood!

"But what was that?"

Ball catching!

 Today we took Dax and Abby for a bit of ball catching. Here is Dax taking a rest!

 Abby doesn't chase the ball much anymore, she likes to tear the ball apart into little bits - here she is spitting out a bit of pink rubber!

 Dax is catching his breath!

Then we walked by the ponds. Dax and Abby both stood at the edge and watched all the ducks and geese! Dax ventured into the water for a bit, but he was more interested in drinking it, than swimming! It was a beautiful day!



He Swims!

He couldn't help himself! Those darned ducks!

We are pretty proud of Dax today! Of course now we are going to have trouble keeping him out of the water!



Baby Steps!

 On our walk at the pond today, Dax was a little more daring! He's always been afraid of the water and despite several attempts to get him swimming, we've never seen him willingly go into the water!

 Here he is 'pointing' at the ducks!

He actually waded into the water after the ducks!!!!! We are so proud!

Waitin' for Dad!

Dax has found a new spot to sit and wait for his Dad when he goes out! He almost fell asleep!

Monkey See, Monkey Do!

 Today started out foggy, but it turned into a beautiful fall day!

 Perfect for a walk!

 We couldn't keep Abby out of the pond this time! She ventured in!

 So Dax ventured into the pond too!

 Lots of ducks and geese in the pond today!

 Then Abby decided to explore the bushes!

 So Dax did too!

 Dax is watching some birds he managed to stir up in the fields!

Here, he's just looking dapper!

Happy Halloween!

Here are Abby and Dax crashed after all the Trick or Treaters!

This spot is far more comfy!

Nice day for a walk!

 It was a really nice day for our mid-day walk today!

 Dax spotted the geese in the pond first! I think he was in awe by the number of them!

Here is Abby - she's remembering back to the days when she would've gone in pond and swam after those geese!

Dax & Abby on a walk in our new neighbourhood!

Here is Dax exploring the new neighbourhood!

 Dax got some burr's stuck to him, so his Dad is removing them.

 Hey! What's that up there?

 Abby hates posing for pictures!

 Here's Abby looking for ducks!

The pond!

Zonked after the walk!

Two happy dogs!

We were a little worried about how the dogs would adjust to their new home. We were prepaired for stressful behaviour.

But we think we are all going to be OK! These pictures show two happy relaxed dogs!

Dax and Abby make the move!

Abby and Dax came home to their new house yesterday. Here they are checking out the basement!

 Dax quickly settled into his usual spot on the couch - he needed a nap after all the excitement of the day!

I had to run out to run an errand and Abby waited for me by the door until I returned! Awe!

Crashed!

It's very tiring being Dax! This was a well deserved nap after chasing the tennis ball in the park!

Not coping with the boxes!

Poor Dax isn't liking the boxes and packing going on in the house! He's all curled up in a ball on the sofa with his back to me!

Just layin' around!

This is Dax just hanging out! He sure looks comfy cosy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dax wants to wish everyone a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Dax's Weekend

Dax is enjoying a rolled Salmon skin that we get for the dogs as a special treat from the Health food store. It smells disgusting, but he loves them!

Dax went to a double Birthday party on Saturday night. Here he is with his friend Diesel towards the end of the night - they were all partied out!

On Sunday afternoon, Dax got to stop in for a quick visit with is Gramma, his Aunt Maggie (cocker spaniel) and his cousin Benny (Springer Spaniel). As you can see, he took over the couch and made himself at home!
