My the Whippet

So Mya fell ill 4 weeks ago.....the day I was flying to Cuba for a week in the sun. Thanks to good friends, they were able to be there for her. She spent 4 days in the hospital (Vet...she's a dog BTW). She's back home with me now......doing better but still not 100%. Since yesterday her medication needs to be increased to see if she responds better...should know more by Monday. Anyway, she's doing well, seems well, just a bit restless at night (prob. discomfort inside somewhere:-(

To decant or Not to Decant

Hey everyone...just recently (yesterday) opened a bottle of wine which tasted very young and immature (the way I feel most days) and so we decided that because I have 3 more bottles of it, the next one I will decant....or should I just cellar it for a few years. It's a young Australian Shiraz...which typically i would not cellar....but is it worth keeping at a price point of $13.00/bt??? Comments....

Canadians go to Vote!

Today our government was found in contempt of parliament.......we need to take this seriously and understand what this means. Our government has not respected our democratic process, the laws of the Canadian people and has ultimately been thrown out of power because of this. Canadians need to react. We cannot accept and tolerate this egocentric behaviour! We have rights and they need to be respected. Unfortunately this government has disregarded every Canadian! Please stand up and vote accordingly for what we all believe in; a democratic society!
