So, how was your Father's Day? Nicole and I went over to Vegreville to visit the parents over a fine steak barbeque. Mom picked out these awesome steak medallions wrapped in bacon, 3-types of shish kabobs, and naturally, stuffed us full of countless side dishes. Dad got to kick back and relax as I worked the grill (hey, he's allowed one day of tranquility per year, I suppose) but those M&M steaks were so tender and flavourful that I couldn't take much credit for how perfect they turned out.
Little Maizey got to meet her "cousin" Babie for the first time. I brought along the camera for the occasion, but was too absent-minded to take a single picture. Babie's got 10 years on her, so wasn't as much in the mood for youthful playing, but at least they didn't attack each other. A few well-timed growls put Maizey in her place, that's for sure.
There were two unexpected excitements during the visit: 1. Maizey dug up one of Mom's flower beds, and, 2. Maizey managed to get her head stuck under the fence gate. We actually needed to take the gate apart to get her freed, so that was a little scary. It also explained, though, just why she was making so much noise!
Finally, it looks like we'll be picking up an electronic Bark Collar to train Maizey not to make so much noise while we're gone. Our neighbours in the apartment building are getting a bit upset, and we've already had one anonymous letter slipped under our door. Here's hoping that the collar works, or I imagine we'll be living on the street come next month...
Currently: Realizing that I've turned into one of those annoying dog owners who only has dog-related news to talk about.
