Morning Cuddle


Dixie comes,
Climbs up and rolls in her back in my lap.


Here I catch a photo in time for a yawn 😴 waking up routines are get with a dog.  She goes outside to do dog dirt business.

First she has to greet me, make sure we are starting the day.  We have to see each other before the day starts.

Which I like the morning routine,vi often wonder how it will work when I go back to work.  How much will it change.  Will it change at all.  The dog will be alone more often.  How will she handle it.  

It's still quite some time til we go over those work drills.
As of today or tomorrow,. It's only the get the walks in. Cigars. Or ball, stick tosses.  Those drills.  The come sit, let go. Don't jump drill.

As such these are a few of the thought to this.

Kim and I go for our mail box walk with her. I sort of get a photo after by the green stripe.  Yet the sun and get home, in the moment photo guy never really got appraicated in the moment.

I have gained weight these last couple months at home.  I'm unsure how that's a good thing, besides that I am eating well. I am 100% sure it's diet related.
Yet our meals look delicious 😋😍.
I am sure most of the photo man 😉 is not welcome cause a meal is planned for the day.

As such.

No such.

As rushed.

As one can take to much time to snap a photo.
The mail run is no time for that.

I am happy to get a meal like this in the evening.  It's the real treat for me.  Dixie us the most behaved dog hoping to get that one fry.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  🎉 Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

 After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
