Friday after work

 Dixie, my dad and I sit in the river after work.


A day well done πŸ‘,  I get down to the river and sit in the sun. ☀️ hiding Dixie under the umbrella ☂️ at times so she doesn’t over heat.


My dad walks half way out to the river.  Goes up to his chest and then thinks he needs a walking stick to walk across.  Or he’d be swimming. 🏊 at first glance he thinks he could just walk across.



The dog πŸ• ran up to two women wading in the river by us. She is a fun πŸ• dog.  We called her back and held onto her for a bit before she decided to stay near by.

I layed down in the river a bunch of times. To cool 😎 down. Then sat in the chair Dixie beside me.


Her collar plastic part broke on one latch. So I’m looking for the box πŸ“¦ it came in cause there was some spare plastic for it to hold it together.


Dixie sitting under the umbrella ☂️ coming to my call, she listens very good 😊. But she always wants to stay close to me.


Walking back after just over an hour in the river.  I had a great day out there today.


Dixie is ranked 28 out of 50 dogs πŸ• she doing great 😊 for active minutes.



114 active minutes she almost reached her goals for today.  And kept a good behaviour while there.  





Her πŸ’€ is suffering this week, I don’t know if it’s cause it was so hot πŸ₯΅ or if it was when I took it off to charge and that’s what’s the based on the last seven days that it’s looking weirder than weird.  I think usually she is always 😊 for sleeping but it’s good to see the difference in a week.  I haven’t seen any behavioural changes this week. She has been a delightful dog to be around.

In all, I had a wonderful day at the river! Spending time outdoors and enjoying the sunshine is always refreshing, and it's great to hear that Dixie is doing well and staying active. 


It’s good to know that she listens to you and enjoys being close by; that bond is special. I hope you find the spare plastic piece for her collar soon! 


Regarding her sleep, sometimes temperature or activity levels can affect a dog's rest patterns. As long as she's still behaving well and seems happy, that's a positive sign. It’s nice to hear that she’s been a delightful companion. Enjoy many more days like this with her! πŸŒžπŸ•

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

  πŸŽ‰ 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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
