Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms at High Park are very pretty

and one of the must to do's in Toronto in spring.

Because peak bloom lasts only for a week (if there is no rain or strong wind),

you have to know when is the best day to visit.

There are some links to track the progress.

Yesterday, we learnt it was full bloom!

"I feel pretty! Can you see my Sakura bandana?" :)

It was a gorgeous afternoon!

"Whoa, these trees look spectacular and smell so good!"

"Hold on, a lot of humans had picnic under the tree!"

That where the smell comes from.

We strolled a little while until our

brudder thought he had enough!!  :D :D

Playing at the Adventure Park is the reward to 

our patient bro.

"Mommy~, don't forget I need a ice cream break!"

We took a short break with daddy.

We never find a missing selfie stick 

so we had to do it an old fashioned way.

We barely fit in the frame! 

Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Walky at Evergreen Brick Works

Finally finally 2 digit temperature is here!

Here we are at Evergreen Brick works.

Let's sniff around!

We saw something new!

Can you see turtles on the top?

Interesting!

That's new floating island to protect turtles.

Let's walk to the top of the hill!

It looks challenging but only takes five minutes to get there. ;) ;)

There is no picture but we met many doggies.

This is a city view from the top.

And...a nature view!

This is taken by our brudder.

Oh no..., where is daddy's head?

After lots of sniffing outside, 

there was something else we couldn't stop sniffing at home.

Daddy's homemade pizza~~!!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Walkies on Easter Weekend

Hello there!

We hope you had a good Easter long weekend.

Has spring arrived here? 

Mmmmm...., not quite. 

but it's not good to be hibernated for so long.

So we did some walkies on the Harbour Front.

"It's time to shed off our winter weight!"

One after another, new condo construction sites are

everywhere in Toronto and this area is not exception. 

Swan couple being very elegant.

We wanted to say hi but daddy told us not to get so close

to these beautiful birdies.

Once this lady aka The Bird Lady stopped her cart,

all birdies saw her from distance right away. 

Whoa, how many birdies are flying over here?!?

"Yay~, snack Time, everybody!!"

Our brudder loves boats.

We gotta take a pic with it.

"Frame this pic, bro!"

This is HTO park, an urban beach with white sand on the Water Front.

We can't picture humans will be sun-bathing at this moment.

Next morning, our bro was happy to find a basket 

from the Easter bunny.

Meanwhile, mom wasn't so happy because
it snowed over night!

Right.. we can't share anything with him!!

On Easter Monday, it was chilly but sun was out!

We enjoyed another walkie at Cherry Beach.

Let's head back..., we were exhausted.

Kite flying on the beach

On past weekend, it was STILL chilly but a beautiful day!

Daddy decided to fly a kite with us on the beach.

"Santa Clause brought me this kite because I was a good boy!' said proudly.

We visited Scarborough Buffs along the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

Look at the cliffs!  This is a great place to visit.

What am I look at?!?

Scenery???

"Mom... I can't reach there!"

It was -1C (30F) and windy but I couldn't resist going back to icy and muddy water front.

"For my safety", mom put my stuff away for a little while

then I would stay still.  How mean!!!

So this is me begging her to get back my frisbee.

Yappy~!

Me, a happy Pinot went to back to fetch game

and just about to jump to water again!  hehehe... :D

Booties!

Thank you for guessing what these red-thingies are

in our last post.

These look like balloons or lolly pop, right?

  These are called PawZ!

Ruby was right! These are our booties!

A virtual Margarita is on the way, Ruby!

We've lost so many booties but this disposable, reusable 

rubber ones work well and last very long!

Paws up!

"Is winter over yet?!?"

Do you remember our brudder read 

"A Bone Tree" from "Three Stories You Can Read to Your Dogs" book?

(Link)

He borrowed another one "Three MORE Stories You Can Read to Your Dogs"

I was really falling asleep again... 

zzzzzzzz....

I, Momo, always enjoy my own space.

I find a new spot to relax in brudder's room. ;)

What are these things?!?

Mom got a French press lately and enjoys coffee every morning.

She says it's MUST!

The matching colour things on the right side are belong to us.

Do you know what these are?!?

:)  :)

Happy Wednesday!

Dental works done!

After a year long delay due to various reasons,
the BIG day had finally arrived.

This was taken ten days ago.

On this evening, mom and dad dropped us off at the clinic.

We stayed overnight to be ready for our dental works that will take place next morning.

Ok, this is the reasons for their big hugs.

Six hours earlier...

"Mom is going to take a few pictures of my bad teeth."

Mmmmmm, ok, here we go.

Grrrrrr

Yes, these are bad!

"What am I going to expect?!?"

On the big day, mom received a call before noon and she was told 
we were very good and the treatment was performed smoothly. 

We still needed to take a good rest for a while after woking up from 
 dental anesthesia.  

At 6pm.

"Mom and dad!! Are we going home???"

A kind lady technician showed mom and dad how our teeth look like.

Then we noticed a big souvenir bag.

The bag includes antibiotics, oral hygiene product, analgesics,

lots of sample such as dogfood, dental snacks, toothpaste, 'drinking water addictive'

and more info about home dental care. 

"Mommy, daddy, is this tooth brush mine?"

'Before' and 'After'. 

Now we have pearly while teeth!

We are doing very well.

We'll be back to the clinic in a few days

for post-dental procedure exam.
