I love it when we can start our mornings out on the deck enjoying our morning coffee/tea together.

Puppy Heaven
Last weekend we went to Patty’s acreage to have some fun and give Spirit a chance to meet some new dogs and people and give her the first real opportunity for an off leash run. She is a bit of a timid little girl so I wasn’t quite sure how she was going to react. I was prepared just in case she was overwhelmed and decided to take off in the opposite direction. I have to give credit to the power of a group of wonderful dogs. She was totally relaxed and immediately joined in with the group. She made appropriate play signals and I never saw any fear or anxiousness in her body language. It was truly a beautiful thing. After our walk we all headed inside to enjoy a meal together. It is wonderful to be able to have a house full of dogs and never having to worry about any dog aggression issues.

Did I mention that Spirit was exhausted….
Tilly looking rested and relaxed because everyone took turns carrying the princess….she sure knows how to work a crowd.
Spirit kept trying to lick Wally’s tongue

Hypothermic Half Marathon
Little Spirit came to cheer me on at the start of this morning’s race. It was a tough one with very icy conditions and a cold breeze. I did manage to finish tied for fourth and 2nd woman overall but I had a very slow second half of the race. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay for the after race ceremony so I didn’t get my medals.
WIP, BOM and a new puppy
It doesn’t matter how many dogs we have had in our lives, I always forget how much work a new puppy is. I’m not sure I will be making my Feb ALYoF goal. By the time I get Spirit settled in my sewing room, it is time to take her out for a potty break. Don and I tag team who is watching her.
I did manage to finish the borders for my Quilts of Valour top. I hope to get them sewn on this week and maybe get the backing finished so that next week I can start on the FMQ before I head back to work on the 23rd.
Thank goodness the Feb BOM is a very quick and easy one so I managed to get it completed. That’s two months in a row….only 10 more to go.

Here’s a couple of pictures of my sewing room helpers. I love that Wally is holding a pink stuffy between his paws and Spirit is snuggled up next to him. The second pictures shows why I can’t get much sewing done. Spirit is all wrapped up around the legs of my chair so I can’t move it to get up and shift between my sewing machine and iron. I love that cute, fat belly (you can check out Spirit’s blog here).
