Two days at the zoo

This week-end, mom received photos

from Jerome's happy days at the

Ecomuseum zoo and the Granby zoo, taken

by uncle Alex and grandpa Robert.

Here is a Siberian big cat that really

impressed our big brudder.

Jerome loved the train! He's been saying

"Choo choo" ever since!

Here he is, with grandpa, a bit unsure of himself.

He gained confidence as the day went on.

The otters made Jerome laugh! He kept

running from one window to another.

Seeing fishes, birds and lots of exotic animals is fun,

but running from one exhibition to the next

is still the best!

Back from our vacation

We are back from our vacation...

and from a long absence motivated

by our spokesperson's laziness

(yes, we are talking about you, mom!).

This year, Fino and I took a separate

vacation from the rest of the family.

The humans went to Kennebunkport, Maine,

for a week. They had a really nice time!

Jerome saw the ocean (and was a bit afraid of it!)

and he ran across the lobby of the hotel at numerous occasions.

Everybody got to know him!

His first time swimming in the pool went well,

so he's going to take a class with mom this autumn.

He's going to be a sea turtle!

Back home, Mom and Jerome visited a small local zoo.

Snakes? Behind a glass, they are OK.

Discoveries are fun!

While the rest of the family was away,

Fino and I spent a week at our trainer's house, Christine.

She's the best!

We moved so much (up to 3 hours of exercise every day)

during our stay that, at night, we were exhausted.

We even agreed to sleep in the same crate.

It was a first class experience!

We even got to swin in a pool, on leash.

Thanks Christine!

Have a great week!

Now that we are back, we'll keep you posted

about our adventures more often!

Another day at the dog park

Another day, another dog park!

Mom, Jerome, Fino and I

visited this one, located near our home,

twice this week.

Our brudder has lots of fun running in the grass,

in a section where dogs don't really go.

Mom had a harder time trying to catch Fino,

who was able to escape

by squeezing under the door...

Jerome is thinking about a great change that happened on Tuesday:

Fino no longer barks when Mom walk us

with our brudder in the stroller.

Way to go, Fino!

This gives us more opportunities to exercise.

Sophie is soon going to get arms of steel!

And please, don't worry...

Fino and I still find countless reasons to bark

every day!

A what?

On Monday, our brudder Jerome

met our cousin Maki-the-Persian-cat

for the first time.

As you can see,

Jerome looooves cats!

Maki belongs to Alex,

Sophie's brother.

She's usually very shy.

What? She is allowed on the table and not me?

A very hot summer

What a hot summer!

The sun has been shining so brightly

recently that we had to play mostly

inside during the day.

My speedy brother Fino

has taken up a new habit:

he bites my ears until I accept to run after him.

This got me a solo trip to the groomer this morning.

Do I look happy?

Maybe not, but my fur is now shiny... and mat free!

Rest, little blenheim brother...

I know I'm going to win our next tug-of-war session!

I guess the visit to the dog park that

mom promised to us

is now

compromised...

Jerome, get out of our seat now!

You're not going anywhere, dressed in your pj!

Our brudder never gets tired of playing in the garage.

Have fun!

And now... a frog!

You all thought that my brother Fino was a dog, right?

It turns out that he is a frog!

Have a great day!

Happy Canada Day!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Have a great long week-end!
