YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Found a Cottage Yeah Well with all the activity around here, we weren't too sure about taking a vacation this year, but it looks like everyone is healthy enough to go on a vacation, and we finally found a cottage to rent for a week. Just north of Parry Sound, on a private cove, and best of all just 5-10 minute hike into lakes that are all crown land. That means no cottages, private and great places to swim and walk! The cottage looks like it has a great big dock, there is a paddle boat, canoe, small motorboat, and a bit of a sandy beach. DH will be able to go fishing, supposed to be lots of good fishing there and in nearby lakes. The cottage also has a hot tub, sauna, woohoo!. Me I'm looking forward to the hikes, lazing on the dock with the pups, lots of swimming, reading and photography. We all are going to enjoy the break. I just can't wait. Planning already and making up tons of lists. Light packers we are not

| Your enthusiasm is really contagious, and I have high hopes for your family's vacation. It sounds like it will be quite an adventure, a beautiful time shared with your special family, and a gorgeous spot to both hike and relax. When I hear you speak of your babies, I often feel the love, adventure, hope, and tugs of the heart that I feel when I'm reading one of my dog novels or memoirs. It sounds like you've put quite a bit of thought into making sure everyone will be safe, protected, loved, and having the time of your lives. I'm counting on seeing your photos and videos and hearing all about this precious time that you will be sharing with Dave and your pups.

Thanks. Psst I hate fishing Plus we never leave the pups alone, and I can't fathom taking three dogs on a boat. But I plan on using that paddle boat and taking one dog at a time out in it.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | More shopping and afternoon at Kelso Well we went to RensPets Depot which is enroute to Lake Kelso. Always a dangerous proposition Razzle got a new lifejacket, which he didn't get to try out today, but he loved his new water toy. Still I can't seem to find a high flotation water toy that is on the small size; this one he can just get his mouth around. Zoey got a new water toy as well, more in hope there will be something that catches her attention and makes her want to go swimming. It didn't work But Magic loved it I'm hopeful that when we are at the cottage and all day on the dock she will relax enough to actually enjoy swimming. She does have a nice lifejacket that is high flotation which is very helpful with a dog learning to swim. Magic got a new backpack as his other one was kaput. He will look quite handsome in it. Magic is our pack mule when we hike. He will carry most of our water for hiking, food that doesn't need cooling, the doggie treats and toys. We carry our cameras and tripods, and food that I need to keep cool. Plus of course our water bottles, and the emergency kit. I got Razzle a cooling jacket that is supposed to be built in such a way to keep the dog cool on a hot day, and warm on a cool day. I'll try it out this week. I did buy a whistle and a couple of training tags, too So working through my list; still have to update the emergency kit, and I'm thinking about a two way radio system as cell phones don't work up there.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Well just another day to go before we leave for North of Parry Sound, I figure it will take about 3.4 hrs to get there. Our living room looks like a cyclone hit it!. We are going to try to get by with our old kitchen shelter, as our new one bit the dust first time up last wkend. agrrr. I have a bit more shopping to do tomorrow, and a lot more packing. Clothes and bedding and such. I did get some good books to read. I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight as Razzle had a bit of a tummy upset tonight. Not sure why. He threw up twice, just white thick gummy kind of throwup. His temp is good, his gums are good, and right now he is sleeping on Dad's lap. But this is the first time so I'm a tad concerned. We went for a long car ride today, he didn't get to swim, just a walk on a lead and some chase the ball. Long story, but it wasn't right to swim at that point. Magic had a good swim, despite being flanked and surrounded by two other Blackies. lol . Will try to post a video of our gargantum stuff we do take. lol

| Please give Razzle some extra kisses from me. I hope the butterflies in your stomach and Razzle's tummy problems disappear very soon. I can understand why you are worried about your sweet little boy. I'm sure both his mom and dad will take good care of him. I will be thinking of both of you tonight and also during your week away. I hope you have a magical time. You will surely be missed.
