At Last!

Finally. Kelowna City Council passed a bylaw that allows dogs on leash along the waterfront in Kelowna.

Although dogs are not permitted to step off the paved paths, onto the grass, sand, or --- god forbid --- into the lake, people can now take their dogs with them along the waterfront.

Did I mention that this is for a trial period? Yes. A six-month trial period. In winter.

As luck would have it, the last couple of weeks have brought us some relatively mild days so Sandy and I have taken a couple of walks through City Park, along the boardwalk, and down to the new condos. There have been plenty of interesting smells, apparently. She just doesn’t get why she can’t chase the geese off the beach.

Neither do I.

Eric and I put have a Christmas Tree every year. Every year, the tree goes in the front window. Every year it blocks Sandy's view of --- as Eric puts it --- passing menaces, such as cats, pick up trucks with dogs in the back, and men in hats. This year is no different.

This year's tree is up and available for viewing here.

You might even see Sandy gazing forlornly at something --- although she doesn't know quite what --- on the other side of the tree, out there in the world. She absolutely didn't know the UPS guy was at the door until he was at the door yesterday. Eric wants a Christmas tree every day of the year, now.

Greetings of the Season
