We got some sad news this week: one of Rachel's uncles - Gerry Peters - died. I really like all Rachel's family, but Gerry has a special place in my heart. When Rachel and I first started dating, way back in the mid ninties, Gerry took on the role of protective father-figure as Rachel's dad was in Newfoundland. Gerry and his wife Sylvia were always very hospitable to me, and I'm very sorry he's gone.
Two of Gerry's daughter live in Winnipeg with their families and, as we couldn't make it back to K/W for the funeral, we offered to dog-sit for one of the daughters. So, for the past few days, Oliver has a playmate, Mortimer. They've been getting along famously.
Here we are playing in our backyard.

So you have gone from puppy sitting...to puppy sitter (wow..that is confusing)!!! Now you shall be over run with puppies and get NO more sleep...and always have a wet and yellow floor!! Well all that matters is that Oliver is having fun...even if you don't get any sleep!!! I have been told that parents will do anything for their children...hehe!! Oh the changes a wee little puppy can bring to a home!!

Sorry to hear about Rachel's Uncle.
P.S: You should change the title of this blog to "The Exciting World of Dogs."
That dog looks like Snoopy!
