Happy Mom's Day!

Happy Mom's Day to all the great moms out there!

 My bro did a great job for selecting lovely red rose bouquet.

Mom loves it!

He also picked a very yummy looking cake BUTT It's a chocolate cake 

SO

I got to eat all toppings!  hehe...

Topping no.1! 

We're still in lockdown but hoping the better days will be here soon!

Take care my friends!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends

and your hoomans!

It was chilly BUTT a beautiful sunny today! 🌞

I took my hoomans out for family walkies!

Then...I took a beauty nap after my quick spa.

I keep my nose toward the kitchen.

You may notice a yum chocolate cake and chocolate covered strawberries on the table.

(Thanks daddy and bro to bring my mom smile!)

Mom was very happy

So she prepared some cookies for me..

Dear Asta

My pawrents and I are heartbroken.

Shortly after my angel sissy Momo started this blog in 2006, 

she's met Asta and two kitties Sassy & Momo in the blogger world.

The girls had lots of fun together in the cyber world.  

Asta and my sissy Momo even exchanged an actual Birthday card. （←link)

Many years have gone by, my Momo and kitties have became beautiful angles

over the bridge.

**********************

Asta lost her daddy due to Covid19 three months ago.

Very Sadlly, Asta followed him recently.

Asta kindly welcomed puppy me...

The family portrait painted for daddy's barkday by talented Asta's mommy (link Asta's mommy

is still our centre pieces.

RIP sweet Asta.

We miss you...

*******************

It's been cold. My bro has not been doing remote learning..

I thought he needed to get some fresh chilly air so I took him out.

Looking after my bro makes me feel good.

Now I am taking a quick nap.

I have many beds but I found being under my mom's chair
is kind-da nice.. :)

Until ...my muffins will be ready very soon.

Stay safe my very dear friends!

PS: Mom went through many old posts and they make her smile... cry...

Hello 2021!

Hello my dear friends and family.

The worst year is over.  The year 2021 will be a better one,

right?

This is what we watched from our window 

on New Years Eve.  All Countdown events were cancelled

BUTT

some people had backyard fireworks.

After winter break, all in-pawson schools in Toronto have shifted to

remote learning.  

Here's my bro trying to focus on his school assignment while mom trying to keep an eye on him.  

It's so challenging to every single two leggies... 

+++++++++++

Let me report what mom made for dinner after the evil pandemic began.

This is our first baking of the year.

Cranberry muffins using left over cranberry sauce from yum Christmas dinner.

This was a hit!  Ricotta cheese dip.

Squid ink pasta with roasted king oyster mushroom.

Veggie dumplings and Cesar salad.

Japanese savoury pancake called 'Okonomi-yaki'. 

Not SO traditional British food.. 

Tofu "fish" sticks and chips

Our favourite..

Broccoli Quiche.

 Butter Garlic Potatoes with Sage Derby cheese sauce.

Mushroom Risotto.  

Simply yum!

Some type of Thai style noodle (mom forgets its name) 😅

Tofu fajitas.

Until the situation will be better..

Stay healthy...

and be happy!! 😚

Happy Holidays!

I hope you are all happy and healthy

despite the challenging time.

 We're doing well and the weather has been quite mild.

My hooman often take me for a long walk.

This is a busy part of town BUTT sadly

all retail stores and restaurants are closed.  

Can you see Santapaws behind me?

No matter what, we need to keep our positive spirits

and being thankful for what we have each other. 

This is me.... putting my Christmas collar on myself.

On Christmas morning, my bro and I had lots of fun.

Let's open the present!!

Santapaws knows kids still have to be active during the lockdown in Toronto.

No worries bro! I'll be active, too!

But Santapaws also knows we need downtime!

Hey, this is my favourite snack!

Yum yum...

Looks like my bro has been a very very good boi!

Well well.... we had a White Christmas

Mom and I had a nice afternoon walky..

Chef Daddy cooked pawsome Christmas dinner!

(From top left)

Steamed veggies, Shirley Temple for bro, Cauliflower, leek, broccoli & cheese sauce,

Our favourite Stuffing without a birdy, Roasted potatoes, grilled salmon fillet, 

Happy Holidays everyone!

Happy Halloween! 2020 version!

Hello my dear friends!  I hope you are all well! 

Halloween this year is very different.  

No costume, No candies, No Jack-o'-lantern...   

My bro was not keen on anything at all. He understands the situation.

• 

No matter what, my happy tail remains the same.

Stay safe and be happy!

Happy Halloween!!

Full moon tonight...

Our dearest friend Asta's daddy went over the bridge.

We're heartbroken to hear this news.  Please send kisses and hugs to his family.

Pinot, mom, dad and James.
