About a week or so ago, Ben and Josée went to Vancouver to the S.P.C.A. shelter there. For many weeks they had been looking for a puppy. They wanted a big dog. Josée had looked at several, then saw this one at the shelter in Vancouver via the web. They made an application and their application was accepted. They still had to be screened so they had to make the trip to Vancouver, to see if they were acceptable 'parents' to the shelter, and if they were, then to bring the dog home. All went well and they brought the pup home on the Saturday night. Ben and Josée searched around for a fitting name for the pup which is a mostly Neapolitan with part Cane-Corso Mastiff. Eventually they found one which they liked...Tegan...Welsh for beautiful...and she is too. Now they plan to take her to puppy obedience when Josée returns from Quebec where she has been on holiday with her family for two weeks. CurrentlyTegan is 30 pounds but she will grow to be the big dog they wished for...125 pounds of dog to be exact!

Gathering the rhubarb
Yesterday we had a surprise visitor. Charlotte came to visit with us when her Dad and Mum dropped her off while they went to an aquacise session. During the time she was with us, Charlotte helped Grandma to pick the rhubard. As you can see from the pictures, she did a good job of collecting the stems and discarding those nasty leaves. She seemed to enjoy it too, judging from the smile on her face. Later on, Tim and Andi came to join us and we all had dinner together, along with Tom Morgan who is a regular visitor for dinner each Wednesday evening.
