This is a very brief (16secs) video of Ray as we wait in the Tim Hortons Drive-Thru line-up, and then approach the pickup window. He has a tendency to try and go either behind my seat, or across in front of me, as he tries to get his head out the window to greet an incoming TimBit (to the surprise of many a server). His restraints assure his lack of success, but safety concerns limited how much could be filmed given that I did not want him interfering with my driving!

” … and so the seasons change!”
This past Monday was a glorious day. We have already bid our farewell to Summer, and have not welcomed Winter just yet.

Remember Ray?
I thought “Remember Ray” a good subject line because you haven’t heard much about him recently (apart from his surgery). Come to think of it, you haven’t heard much from me in general! Continue reading
“I am your dog”
Every now and then I come across a comment, a short story, a poem, or some other expression of life … that makes an emotional impact. I tend to save such writings because, who knows, there may come an opportunity to share such writings in the hope that a reader/listener may also experience an emotional impact. What follows is such a piece, and it is attributed to a J. D. Ellis. Continue reading
Ray Update!
First, I offer my sincere thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that have been tagged with Ray’s name this past week. He’s not in the clear yet … but it is looking good for him. Continue reading
