This is our big hairy black thing. There's a new fire hydrant soon to be a little less pristine.

My life as a dog:

Nothing much happened today: I ate, went for a walk, napped quite a bit. Wondered about dinner, Joanne gave me a nice back scratch. A perfect day really.
The big news is Charlie and Ali had a little boy born at 6;15 pm Alberta time. A little brother to Liam.
I'll get more details posted as they come in. Very exciting. Wow.
I had some blood work done today and my hemoglobin is down a bit to 93, neutrophils also down to 0.4., platelets @ 21.

A huge thank you to everyone who is helping with meals these days. Like a dog, sometimes I'm not sure where the food comes from, but I sure do appreciate it!

Well it's time for me to turn about three circles, humph down into bed and chase a few rabbits.

Hi you two,

Just back from a most glorious day at O'Hara/O'Heaven. Yesterday we hiked in snow and today the skies were magic blue against the newly white peaks. Thinking of you both a lot, thanking you for the blog (very successful from our point of view), loving that wonderful sense of humour and looking forward to good news form your end.

Hi Brian - I went to our local newspaper today and asked the editor to run an article asking the community here to put themselves on the marrow registry.
All our friends have you and your family in their hearts and are eager to hear any news.
Take care - this blog is a good way to stay updated -
Love to you - our spirit is with you.
Love to Joanne, Hannah, Coleman, Louis and Sef and the big hairy black thing!

Hey man! Been reading your blog...I think it's a good thing you are doing...prob. a good way to release some stress...you have a wicked sense of humor man! Here's a little dog humor for you...STUDY OF DOGS

1. Dogs lie around all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house.

2. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room.

3. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time.

4. They growl when they are not happy.

5. When you want to play they want to play.

6. When you want to be alone they want to play.

7. They are great at begging.

8. They will love you forever if you rub their tummies.

9. They leave their toys everywhere.

10. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.

Conclusion: They're tiny men in little fur coats.
