Early walk and top of my breed

 Dixie is rocking the active minutes this month 


We get walking checking the river heights even if it’s regulated at a damn it should be like this for at least a month or more, when would hope til July.

Dixie is high on her breed active minutes top one third.

So I’m happy 😃 for her.
We moved the bedroom around and the dog hasn’t been 💤 sleeping good at the front room. We even put up noise cancelling and heat cancelling curtains. So the room quieted down hugely from it as no is colder in the morning since that’s when the sun shines on it.  Although it’s been raining 🌧️ the last week and has been chilly that I’ve had to turn the furnace on.  I do think 🤔 it does keep the heat in.


I’m sleeping 💤 good 😊 and managed to walk and chat for a bit with James in the river bottom.

About vehicles 🚗 😎 


Dixie getting lots of activity since I went from a five day work week to a three day work week getting four days off.
Do I see my job as work or play. So I am playing with my dog 🐕. She’s loving Nigel time and I got to say it’s a nice 😊 time spending it with her too.


Although we had to rescue 🛟 two baby bunnies 🐰 from the back yard from Dixie trying to mother them.  She had it in her mouth 👄 not hurting it but carrying it around. So I told Kim to move it in at the front of house by our pine tree underneath it to hide 🫣 

Then they’d be away from Dixie in the back yard.


We’re rocking the leader board for active movement with Dixie rank 24 for our local dogs around the neighborhood.


Dixie sleep 😴 is suffering with the room change at the front of house 🏡. So hopefully she gets that sorted out soon.


I got to lift weights 🏋️‍♀️ in in a good training mode right now. But my garage is a mess from carpet cleaning my couch. 🛋️ took lots of dirt out of it. And it looks brand new now.

So we’re undecided if will put it in the house or keep it for the man cave garage for the summer.


I’ll have to show pictures after one more wash to get more soap out of the restoration of the couch. 🛋️ it looks great 😊.



May car indicator lights are lots but the coulee looks good 😊 the greens 🥬 are popping in the river side. The river looks like glass this morning compared to other times. When I was look 👀 at the river I could see the coulee in the river. It was sharp enough and calm ☺️.


It sounds like you and Dixie are both having a fantastic month filled with activity and positive changes! It's great to hear that you're prioritizing walks and time with your dog, as well as finding ways to improve your sleep and living environment. It's also wonderful that you're able to spend more time playing with Dixie and enjoying her company.


Rescuing the baby bunnies must have been quite an adventure, and it's heartwarming to see Dixie trying to care for them in her own way. It's impressive that you're doing so well with your workouts and that you were able to clean your couch so thoroughly.


It seems like you're surrounded by lovely sights and enjoying the tranquility of your surroundings. Cherish these moments with Dixie and continue to take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing your updates with me

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...
