Sherlock and I visited the trendy urban neighbourhood of Westboro, here in Ottawa. Sherlock decided he needed some shade after exploring in the bright sunshine all afternoon. Keep an eye out for more of our adventures. 😀🐶

Sherlock and I visited the trendy urban neighbourhood of Westboro, here in Ottawa. Sherlock couldn’t resist the smells coming from the open window of the restaurant and dragged me over. Keep an eye out for more of our adventures. 😀🐶

I started in the spring, after eating like a pig all winter, also because my new doctor told me I better lose some weight. When I started, I averaged over 15 minutes a kilometre, now I average 10.5 a kilometre and have lost 30 pounds. If I can do it, anyone can. 😀

I’d heard so much about this movie and how bad it was over the years, that when it finally got released on Tubi, I had to check it out. It certainly lived up to its reputation. Has anyone else watched it? What did you think of it? 😀

Can you find Sherlock in this picture? He’s hiding somewhere in it. I don’t think he’s quite as good as Waldo at it, but he’s trying. 😀 🐶

I just watched the movie, Exit 8 which is about a guy trapped in an unsettling maze of underground subway corridors. It pleasantly surprised me. If you’re looking for an inventive, anxiety-inducing, and unsettlingly immersive movie to watch, with loads of existential dread, check this one out. 😀

“The Candy Witch” is waiting for you out in the dark. She has no mercy. She has no remorse. All she has is a burning need for vengeance and a handful of sweets. Lock your doors, lock your windows and always keep a light on because “The Candy Witch” is out there. (1/2)

We’re wrapping up our weekend in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. Sherlock wanted to stop and take a last look around before we headed home. We did manage to get some nice pictures together, but this one was too good not to post. 🐶

This was supposed to be a Sherlock and Ronald adventure post, but, Sherlock decided to skip the concert because of his sensitive ears. I however had a great time. It was great to get out and have some fun after a couple of tough weeks. 😀🤘
