Posting Comments & Followers

On all my blogs I have included a Follower section. Don't be afraid to become a Follower. I DO NOT SEND OUT E-MAILS TO HARASS YOU. It actually helps me see if my blogs are being used. There was a way of putting a counter on your site to record visits but I haven't been able to find a counter.

Please feel free to leave Comments and become a Follower I enjoy the input.

People have asked how to post comments on my blogs. It is quite simple really. You don't have to give any information that you want too. I have prepared an image which shows the basic steps.

A Little Discovery

Brie (my daughter) gave me an iTunes gift card, I stumbled upon a great little gem of a musician from Quebec Pascal Picard. I hope you'll enjoy this connection. Another one is Beck's latest.

It's a New Puppy

This is Mia, she a new arrival on the mountain.

Our neighbours, Jill and Simon got her Friday night.


She is a Bernese/Golden Retriever cross and is 9 weeks old. She is the cutest mellowest arrival we have had here on the mountain for at least two years.


This is Jill, the proud Momma just hours after Mia's arrival.

Jill and Simon have a beautiful male Bernese called Cody, they hope to have some puppies in a year.

Who said Dogs don't watch TV

My two friends, Molly and Brando who are generally stuck to me like glue have really gotten into TV. Not just TV but they like to Skype as well. I think it's because of the resolution available now on the screens. Over the past year they have gone from barking occasionally at movement to actually going nuts over what they see.

Last fall we replaced our dead TV with a higher resolution 42" LCD Samsung. The other thing we did was change our cable package, figuring that we were going to be stuck inside more because of my health condition. Both ideas have been good but there has been a side effect with our four legged friends.

We can't watch the Dog Whisperer, the Westminster Dog Show, anything with dogs, cats or creatures that move. Yes that includes some people, they do sit quietly while Suhana Marchand is doing the news on CBC News Network, but bark at the weather man, (with due cause) Nancy Grace and Joy Behar. I can't blame them really, maybe it's because we start barking ourselves at those two.

Recently Brie posted a great dog treat commercial on her blog. Brando and Molly went nuts and Brando tried desperately to attack the computer. I told Brie and said I would tape him next time I ran it. However I didn't realise Brando like many of us doesn't like reruns. He did not react the same during a second viewing. What was funny was he did pay attention throughout the ad and followed the dog treat through the air as it flew towards a dog mouth.

I combined some footage and came up with a Mr. Brando video.



The dogs have also reviewed 'The Hurt Locker' and agree with the academy. Molly and Brando give 'The Hurt Locker' two very big Paws UP.
