The house guest has returned home. I'll definitely miss having her around. But for now, let's just enjoy this moment of peace and quiet.

There's no better birthday than a dogdiggity birthday! Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!

10 days of this?!?! Lord help me!

I'm giving Mabel lessons on how to sit still and be lady-like. So far: questionable progress.

Aside from being a little homesick, and sporting a funny hairdo, our house guest, Mabel, seems quite nice.

We have a house guest. In addition to my regular duties, I now have to watch the prisoner, I mean, visitor.

Uh-oh, the photographer's getting arty again.

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties.

The photographer's computer is in the shop.

I'm still posing for my photo every day, but the photographer won't be able to process them and post them until her computer comes back.

Why do I keep working with these amateurs? One word: kibble.

The computer is back! The photographer is scrambling to catch up. Though not in the systematic and orderly way I would do it, but in her own hodge-podge, mish-mash, eat dessert before dinner way.

Parliament buildings? Bor-ing.

Whisked away to Victoria! The hotel had a special blanket, bowl and cookies just for me! I think I'll ask for champagne in my water dish.

Sometimes a city dog longs for the country.

Look into my eyes...you are helpless to resist...do exactly as I say...

There's that sound again...buzzzzzzzz...

Tall grasses make me very serious.

Oh, Canada!

It's always the perfect time for an old lady nap.

An old salty seadog down on the dock.

Snout Show!

Dogs in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!

You can take the cowgirl out of Alberta, but you can't take the Alberta out of the cowgirl.

More teeter! More totter!

Behold, a breathtaking blossom! Oh yeah, and there are some flowers behind me.

Very busy. No time to talk. Gotta run.

I think I look just like him! Happy Father's Day!

A dog on a log? I think she's getting these ideas from Dr. Seuss.

Unbeknownst to most folklorists, in addition to an impressive tail and irresistable song, a mermaid may also boast a coat of golden fur.

Flashing my Friday smile on Thursday.

But really, I just pretend to be blind for the extra treats. You know, you're much quieter than the other dogs here. Strong, silent type, am I right?

Getting my porch dog on.

The photographer came back from Calgary with a new lens. Time to break out the serious poses!
