Chicken!

Kona is official a chicken! Not that we didn't know that before...I took him to Laurier Park and went to the water's edge. He was soooo scared to go in the water that he would touch it and take a few sips of dirty water then run away. Duncan (the other dog) was so good at jumping in and retrieving balls and sticks!

Hopefully after a few more attempts he may become more comfortable. Maybe it his first experience that turned him off when he was a puppy? When he was few few months old we took him to Terwilligar and he was watching some of the bigger dogs jump in the water. He went in after them and submerged under the water (head under water). He then ran out and never went back in...hmmm...traumatized?

Kona's New Friend

While doing some work outside, one of our neighbors from across the alley had her dog out as well. Her dog (Duncan) eventually came over and was sniffing around our fence, obviously who located Kona. I opened the gate and they played for about 5 minutes. Turns out Duncan is also a Border Collie/Lab but he has the short hair of a lab. They are about the same size and age and both are black with white markings.

Now Kona has a new buddy in the hood and will be able to have more playdates!

The End is Near...

For your basement renos that is...as of June 18 we will have our carpets installed (hopefully) and it will be an end to the headaches and dust that is renovations! we also bought a new sectional from Mobler and will have that delivered two days later.

As for the leaking basement...luckily it has not rained very hard and it has been dry. We booked someone to install weeping tile and sump pump so we will never have to worry about the basement again!!! I did however, have to tear open the drywall and take out the rotting floor board and replaced it. Hopefully there won't be too much water before the weeping gets put in!

Once all is said and done.....LET'S PARTY!!!!!!
