Whine & Cheese

 

Not the kind of "wine" you were thinking......written with tongue planted in cheek.   A short "whine"......still full of cold.....it kept getting worse each day!    Today may be my "turn around day".   I sure hope. 

I'm not wanting Mr. Seventies to get it....for many reasons!  So far....so good. 

Mr. Seventies saw the surgeon (and really likes him) ....... he (the surgeon) advised he will  see Mr. Seventies at the hospital very soon.... (day surgery to repair the hernia).    Trying to keep him relatively cold-free til then!!  Fingers crossed....

Anyhow.....on to good news!   Introducing Miss Clancy Mae....(we've named her that).....an adorable red smooth - our new family member!  I had an inkling getting a pup from the other breeder.....was not a done deal.  I had placed a deposit on this little one - and she will hopefully be ours....

Clancy Mae was born February 7, 2026 in Ontario.....where her breeder & kennel are located.  She will be available the first or second week in April....

Wrestlemania with one of her littermates.....sweet little black & tan....they are pretty ferocious, right?

The breeder had planned to get more photos over the weekend....if that happens...I will be sharing.  When we obtained Liesel......I arranged for a flight-  on a climate controlled transport plane (not in cargo on a passenger plane)....her breeder drove the three hours to get her safely to Pearson airport in Toronto....for her flight to Halifax.  (there are now transport flights coming from Toronto to Charlottetown)..  Liesel was in the air for exactly one hour.....her water bowl clipped to the inside of her crate was still full.    Talk about a calm flight.....

I'm hoping Clancy Mae's breeder will transport her to Toronto.....and she will fly directly to us!

The quilted Hippie Van tote bag arrived & I am obsessed!   It is gorgeous & so roomy....look at those awesome colours....

And.....the inside has a soft, waterproof lining....how amazing is that??  Luv, luv, luv this tote!  The quilt set I ordered has been shipped also!

I had ordered during Chinese New Year....but found the company amazing to deal with, very punctual replies....I could have cancelled my order since some businesses in China close down for weeks/days to celebrate...but I was happy to wait.  So glad I did!   I've received confirmation the quilt set ordered.....has now been shipped....

I had enough Air Miles points saved to order two Amazon gift cards......and will be using them to order a set of pet stairs...the height from the floor to the seat cushions on the sofa is 15".....

These steps measure 15.7" high.....should be perfect.....(white pup not included).......

Before I came down with the cold.....I had popped into Pet Smart.....in an attempt of find a kitten harness!  Not easy to find a harness to fit a squirrel size dachshund puppy!  Can you believe prices....for a kitten harness....started at $14.99??  *thud*. That is insane. 

I'm not certain this one will work....it might be too big...(no size small available).....but for only $3 I can donate it if it's not suitable.....I came across it at a local discount store....(the bess has to go).   Hoping it can be used for potty breaks....I remember when we obtained Schatzi, our first dachshund....at four months of age!  The only harness I could find small enough to fit her.....was a kitten harness!

What do you think of this happy couple?  There is a shop here, located in Cavendish where you & your spouse or family can don costumes (only western attire available) & have photographs taken.

Now with the ease of the internet....you can do it from the confines of your sick bed!  Propped up with three pillows!   It's easy to do....just add your phots....pick your "theme" and voila!  Many, many themes to pick from.

So easy & fun to do!  I chose this one in a 16 x 24 canvas!  Once ready, the order & pic is sent for your approval.....and then you can order, make changes, etc.   Thoughts?

 I loved the one above so much....I decided to order a couple others.....each 11 x 14 in size.....I will frame them when they arrive....I'm crushing on this gunslinger!!

Because pink is my absolute favourite colour.....

I may do a "western" one of me alone....but will see when these arrive....

That is about all the "news" from here!  The weather has been less than desirable ....overcast and flurries & off & on snow most days!  If you have to be downtrodden with a cold....the weather has been perfect!
