The Poor Dogs

So..is it Llasa Apso or Llaso Apsa...I could look it
up but...who cares.She'll always just be Jazz, short
for Jasmine, to us...Jazz, and Ceiladh, her intrepid
much senior sister, a border collie, but sister none-
the-less, if capable of speech, would no doubt be asking
the question, " What in the name of all we cherish is
going on here ?"
For the past ten days they've been watching strangers
come to our door removing all the furniture they were
never permitted to sit on..not that that ever stopped
them...the dogs not the strangers.
You see, I am in my final three days of working for
CHUM Radio Halifax - C100 and 101.3 The Bounce.
I resigned a couple of weeks ago, once, we'd sold
our home and gotten the necessary medical clearances
Charlene and I required to embark on a whole new adventure.
My wife and I decided about six months ago that it
was time for a drastic change. So..we've loaded up the
truck and move to Beverly...Hills that is..swimming pools,
movie stars..except our destination is not south, not
Beverly Hills, not even California..not even warm...
No, we're headed for Fort McMurray Alberta, to begin
phase 47 of our lives.
So for the past litle bit, our routine, if you will has
been somewhat disrupted ( shot all to hell.)...
And the dogs I'm sure are thinking that their numbers have
got to be coming up soon. I wish we could adequately convey to
them that they're safe. We're taking the dogs..and my
musical stuff, and golf stuff, and computers and enough
furniture to inhabit a small apartment.
So far we've been fortunate to be able to help others
decorate their homes. We've managed to sell living room,
dining room, bedroom, and most of our other miscellaneous
furniture...Just the downstairs and the cars to look
after now.
We are both excited..Charlene and I are looking forward
to being close to son Matthew, his lovely wife Eli and our
two grand daughters, Kathy and Makayla...and while it
seems, sometimes like we'll be further away from Ottawa and
our son Tyler, and his beautiful partner, Michelle ( soon
to be parents ) and my Mom and two brothers, we are
still only a flight away.
But all this is not doing anything for the dogs..
Or the Toronto Maple Leafs...
Nice to see Lady Antebellum do so well at the Grammy's.
The world would be a better place with more 3 part
harmony.
Have yourself a marvelous day !
Happy Trials.
