Christmas Eve! A time when we can all see the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel”! The Christmas madness will soon be over, and then we just have to accommodate the other event of the season …. New Year’s Eve. Here, we really only have to remember why we are celebrating Christmas!

Open letter from Ray.
Dear Lululemon, and TD Canada Trust Bank – both on Lakeshore Rd., Oakville. Continue reading
Hurray for Ray!
In order to set a context for this post, I would like to quote a comment from the Oakville & Milton Humane Society (OMHS) concerning Ray: Continue reading
One little clink!
My lunch typically consists of a sandwich, sometimes followed by a small glass dish of yogurt with sliced bananas on top. Ray and I have this agreement wherein he leaves me alone while I am having my sandwich, and I will let him have a few slices of banana if that is my choice of dessert. Continue reading
The Ferocious Feather?
Ray, being a Shepherd/Rotti X, can be quite a daunting sight if upset. I know from experience! Continue reading
Please feed me!
Those of you who have been regular visitors to this blog will know that Ray is extremely food motivated. Even immediately after a meal, he will still want to checkout out any interesting food possibilities. Continue reading
The Ray Trails!
The Summer of 2013, being Ray’s first Summer with us, proved an interesting period for all of us.

Dear Santa
I often just look at Ray, especially when he is sleeping, and feel very content with having him here. He has found a home where he is loved and he reciprocates so readily. When he is out walking, his gait is generally very light and his tail is held up high (even though his nose is down!). Continue reading
Rainy days ‘n’ Sundays
The other Sunday, all three of us went on a walk downtown with (unbeknown to Ray) a specific store in mind that was not going to be too receptive to having him inside as it sold lots of specialty consumables usually of U.K. origin. We arrived there at 9:55am and noticed that they were not going to open until 10:00am so decided to wander around just to kill those few minutes. Continue reading
A New Direction Perhaps?
