Hunting for the kong

Sunday February 10, 2008

Tawny loves playing fetch with the Kong, even in the deep snow. This means that she has to bound through the deep snow and that is really comical to see -- it looks like the head of an undulating snow serpeant. Once she gets to the kong, sometimes she can't find it right away and all you can see is her head buried in the snow and her tail waving vigourously!

Or... the aftermath of what happens when you walk into a door...

So here I was, trying to use Tawny as a pillow, and she decided to use me as a pillow instead. Very funny!

In other news, the manufacturer of our floors has decided to replace our floors free of charge, as a good will gesture, because their authorized dealer did an extremely lousy job of installing the floors. There may be some costs involved that we will have to be responsible for, will have to see.

Pano from mini-island. See if you can find Freda in this picture.

The products of combustion from propane are water vapour and carbon dioxide. Here you can see the warm moist exhaust from the furnace is rising and condensing on the soffits where it makes a nice frosty decoration.

On Sunday we walked around the lake throwing the kong for Tawny. She loves that but when she gets tired out, she just sits down and waits for us to throw the kong to her, and then she catches it and brings it back to us.

Here is Tawny in one of her rare moments of introspection, pondering the snow on her nose and how it got there.
