I’d say it’s like anything else that bothers a Sheltie…mine would run towards it because they perceive it (for whatever reason) as a threat. Mine will bark at any number of things from raising the blinds, running the food processor to running the dishwasher! Blueberry will hear me pull out a...

I hear what you’re saying Sheep…unfortunately I think there’s way too much water under that bridge. Darlene and Donna made my life he** the last 2 years all for the thrill of it. My sister Donna stole $20,000 from my mom and Darlene took Donna’s side in accusing me. I told Darlene the other day...

I have wonderful memories of my mom woof…especially her time in the hospital. We talked about things we’d butted heads on through the years and came to an understanding that I’d never thought we’d reach. My sister’s were always jealous of the relationship we had but we both had to work on it! It...

Thank you Sandy…today is definitely a day when the waves are high… Just doing things today like calling the hospital to have my mom released, picking up the will and making appointments. Grief has settled on me today very heavy. I did go out and buy a new bed for the main floor so that gives me...

Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts. My mom was an amazing woman and it’s going to be a tough road for a little while but I learned a lot from her. The dog’s are doing good except for Finnie yesterday. My brother in law brought over some clothes and stuff that had been in the car…one of the...

That is blasphemy that minIan gets 2 and you get LETTUCE??? When my sheep feeds me banana (my favourite) and Piggie Finnie manages to steal mine he gets 1 less and I gets an extra one. It’s only fair! Especially at our age…we deserves more, not less and not LETTUCE! Piper

Thank you Ann. My mom was an amazing woman who endured a ton of suffering throughout the years but still she persevered. My father passed away suddenly (heart attack) in 1974 and she was left with a huge house to pay for , no job and 5 kids still at home to feed. She ended up getting a job with...

My mom passed away at 8:35 this evening. I had been talking to her about all the people waiting for her in heaven…and I spoke of all the dogs waiting for her as well. I’d also told her a few minutes before that I’d be leaving at 9 pm. It was shortly after as I was talking about all our animals...

Yes, the dome car…it’s all windows. I’d have preferred to go in summer but all the cabins were booked straight into November. Maybe if I enjoy it I’ll book again but earlier so I can get a cabin for the summer. I don’t care to sit in coach for 3 days at my age!🤣

Actually looks like I’ll arrive in Vancouver on December 24th and depart on December 25th so I will have to book a hotel room for 1 night. Maybe I’ll be able to do a bit of shopping….

It’ll be very strange travelling alone but this type of journey works great for a solo traveller as they pair you up with other people for meals. I could’ve stayed in Vancouver for a few days but being in that big of a city intimidates me! Maybe next time!

I’d like to see the East Coast but apparently it’s quite the let down going West to East. If you do go make sure you go East to West. I booked a trip departing Winnipeg on December 21 and departing Vancouver on December 25 to Winnipeg. I do have to make sure it’s the same train as they do get...

I’ve decided when all this is done and everything is settled I’m going to take a train trip. We have Via rail that has a Western portion that goes to Vancouver and the Eastern to the East Coast. I’m not sure which I want to do…maybe both? But all by myself. My brother in law can stay at my house...

Thank you Ann. It’s never easy waiting for someone to die. I did it with my sister and that was hard. This is harder. I will stay with her as long as it takes. Thank heavens for my brother in law. That man can irritate the heck out of me sometimes but he’s got a heart of gold! He came to the...

My mom told me this morning now I can get myself another dog. When I laughed at the thought she said no, I think you should. So I have her permission. Not that I’m quite ready for that…at least near the end she was thinking of my dogs. And I did bring Piper in this morning for a visit…I put him...
