Crystal and I would like to thank everyone.

Charley ...

Charlotte (Charley) Ann Marui passed away peacefully this morning.

She was a big Toronto Blue Jays fan like her dad.

She loved to nap like her mom.

She put up with a couple of crazy parents who would dress her up for Halloween ...

... and take her for Santa pictures (and join in on the fun)

Charley was loved.  Her parents were so blessed she came into their lives. Even though she occasionally pooped in the house.  We will miss her 'horsey' impression at the door, her getting up and loud head shaking at 3 am to go outside, 'snoozing' her, her 'sneaking' up to the dinner table for some human food, but most of all, we will miss the kisses she would give. She touched everyone she encountered. The house feels so empty without her.

We will all miss you. Rest in Peace baby.

Puzzle Update

So, there has been a lack of updates about my puzzle.  Mainly because I haven't been working on my puzzle.  Its currently sitting in the basement, idling.  Maybe the cold winter months and the end of baseball will renew my interest in completing the puzzle.

Meanwhile, I ask you all this, is it wrong to dress up your dog for Halloween?  I say no.

Super Charley!!

Its like she has using her laser eyes!

Oh, for all you that don't know, we got a dog. Her name is Charley (if you didn't pick that up). She is 12 years old and we got her from the Guelph Humane Society. She is a  a lab-terrier.  She is not big (35 pounds), so don't let the picture deceive you!
