Good morning Cape Breton.
Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.
We only went for a short walk yesterday. Since it was raining outside, the Big Guy's knee was really sore. But he still went for the walk. I tugged on my leash a few times and I got hauled back in. I managed to take the Big Guy off balance a few times. I think it would have been funny to see him fall. But I am pretty sure that the walk would have ended right then and there.
The Big Guy made pizza last night. Normally you make pizza with bread dough. Well his pizza crust was made of cheese. It's called a Fat Head Pizza Dough. If you want the recipe, give a me a shout out and I will make sure to send it along.
The Big Guy moved his flag pole. It was attached to the back deck, but now it's attached to the front deck. I think it looks so much nicer on the front of the house.
My non-furry brother-in-law came for a visit last night. His name is Craig. I really like him, but he is scared of big dogs like me. I jumped on him a few times. Of course, I got yelled at. Then I got put in my kennel for being bad. But I was so excited to see him, I just lost my mind.
With all the rain we are getting, I don't think that I will be going to the dog park today. I would like to go, but I don't think it's going to happen. It would be way too muddy there. Also, it's cold out for my humans. It's only +6. They have to wear big jackets when it's that cold outside. I guess it's good that we live in Cape Breton. If we lived in Winnipeg, it gets REALLY cold there in the winter.
Did you see that the Big Guy started a Go Fund Me account to replace his BBQ? He said that if that kid can start a fund me account to pay off his speeding ticket, why can't he start a go fund me account to get a new BBQ? Here is the link if you wanted to see it: https://www.gofundme.com/replacement-bbq
Bye bye for now.
Good morning Cape Breton.

Did you see all those videos of The Cabot Trail that the Big Guy posted? If you watched them all, back to back, you would be watching him drive for about 6 hours. Talk about BORING. But there is some nice views, so I supposed, it can't be all bad.
Tonya and the Big Guy went out to see my friend Julie. They were at a benefit dance. There was door prizes. But they left before they were drawn for. They were up really late. That is unusual for them.
They had some people drop by, that they drove to the benefit dance, but I didn't get to meet them. The Big Guy put me in my kennel. As soon as they arrived, they left to go to the dance. The Big Guy told me that they got there about an hour before anyone else got there. He has always been one of those guys to arrive way too early. Same with his work, he is always there well ahead of his shift.
Tonya made some chicken alfredo last night for their supper. I got to have just a little bit of it. It was really yummy. Then, there is these garlic knots that Tonya made. Boy oh boy, didn't they smell delicious! They didn't share them with me.
It is super foggy out again today. Not sure what is up with all the foggy weather. But so far, it still isn't very warm outside.
If the weather doesn't improve, the Big Guy will not be putting up the gazebo roof. Why would he, the weather isn't good enough to sit outside...
I heard there is a lot of ticks this year. They could really hurt me. But Tonya made sure that she got me some stuff that will keep them away from me. Then again, we really don't go places where there is a lot of ticks. So that is good.
Bye bye for now.

Not everyone is up as early as me and the Big Guy. Although I have to give a shout out to Tonya as she will get up with me at night when I want to go outside. But for us early risers, did you see the morning fog? I went outside to see if I could hear the fog horn from the inner harbour.
Because we live near the water, we can't hear the surf. We are well inside this harbour. So the waves are not very high. But if we lived by South Bar, Victoria, Point Aconi and the like, we would hear the fog horn AND the surf.
The Big Guy is cooking up some sort of Spaghetti Squash. Last night, he cooked up a small chicken and then took the meat off the bones. Tonight, when Tonya gets home, she will only have a little bit of prep work to do before they have some chicken alfredo. BUT! Do you think I will get any? Probably not. I will get kibble. Always with the kibble.
We don't live in Ontario, but I heard that their minimum wage is going to go up to $15.00 an hour. The Big Guy would like that a lot. But it would mean that stuff would cost more. People just can't seem to get that. Sure, lets pay everyone more. But don't you think that the cost of stuff would creep up? Oh well, we will see how much it costs for my kibble.
We went for a walk yesterday. Nothing too exciting there. Not a long walk and not a short walk. Less than a medium walk. About 6 blocks. The Big Guy has walked further, but when he does, his knee hurts a lot. I hope that his knee can work better some day.
After we came home, I wasn't all that tired.
I was bored and I got into stuff.
I found Tonya's shoes.
I found Tonya's sweater.
I found her socks.
I found her pants.
I found a box.
I found a wrapper.
Each time, I would bring it into the living room.
Just incase she needed it.
Turns out, she didn't need it.
Bye bye for now.
Good morning Cape Breton.

Did you realize that I have lived here for almost 1 year now? I have grown a lot since I was a little puppy. Now I am a HUGE puppy!
People have stopped commenting so much on my paws, but are now talking about my huge head. What's wrong with my head? Humans got pretty big heads too. Only theirs is shaped a little differently than mine.
The Big Guy got up early and he was going to download this month's new video games that he gets with his XBox. But I guess he is up a little too early for them and they are not released just yet. Man oh man, that guy has got to be patient some times.
Tonya and the Big Guy had a BBQ last night and he had a grease fire in the BBQ. His burgers cooks REALLY quickly. He sprinkled the fire with Baking Soda and the fire went out right away. He cleaned up everything and then they ate supper. I guess he thought about putting some water on the fire, but then thought about it for a second. That would have made a FLOATING GREASE FIRE! Very dangerous. Especially seeing as how the BBQ is on a wooden deck.
The Big Guy was telling Tonya, the next BBQ, he thinks they will keep it on ground level and this will allow more rood on the deck for other stuff.
I think the Big Guy would like to have charcoal BBQ this time. He likes the convenience of propane, but charcoal adds a unique flavour to everything that it is cooked over. What do you think? Charcoal or Propane?
Bye bye for now.
