Wooden Poodle Decoration

Posted on November 11, 2020November 11, 2020 by Sandra

I use Facebook for mainly what Chris calls “Poodling” where I chat with other Poodle owners about food, beds, health and more. I was Poodling one day when I saw a post from Evi Green and these adorable wooden Poodle carvings! Evi’s husband Tom whittles the Poodles and Evi paints them. As soon as I…

Musée des Confluences in Lyon, France

Posted on February 28, 2020February 26, 2020 by Sandra

One afternoon we took a break and took the metro down to the Confluence Museum in Lyon. The museum is at the southern tip of Lyon where the Saône and Rhône Rivers meet. I loved the light and bright architecture on the outside and entry areas of the museum. Then once inside, the exhibit halls…

Palais Longchamp in Marseille

Posted on February 19, 2020February 18, 2020 by Sandra

We decided to leave James at home to rest and we took the metro to the Palais Longchamp in Marseille. The metro in Marseille is very modern and clean. The gardens were huge and we wandered around for quite a while. James would have been tired but I know he would have loved the dog…

Marseille Jazz Jam Session

Posted on February 18, 2020February 17, 2020 by Sandra

We were walking around the port in Marseille, France when I heard “Bourbon Street Parade” in the distance. I got excited and wanted to find these musicians I heard. We walked over to the Promenade Louis Brauquier and there they were – a bunch of musicians jamming with my favorite New Orleans jazz tunes!

Posted on February 13, 2020February 12, 2020 by Sandra

An absolutely stunning black standard poodle named Siba won the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this week in New York City! I love this photo of Siba and her handler Chrystal Clas: I read that while at Madison Square Garden, Siba ran out of chicken and they got her some grilled chicken sandwiches from McDonald’s!…

We spotted an FJ in France!

Posted on February 5, 2020February 3, 2020 by Sandra

When we first talked about moving overseas, we played with the idea of taking our Toyota FJ with us. But we were worried it would be WAY too big. Most European cars are so small. We have a friend from California that moved to Switzerland and he sent his Toyota overseas. He had to remove…

James and Dusty the Horse

Posted on December 18, 2019December 18, 2019 by Sandra

James found a new friend! His name is Dusty and he is a big horse! I wish I had video of it – James would run along the fence and Dusty would run along with him! They would go back and forth and it was so cute! Chris was in DC and when he came…

Dancing on Our Anniversary

Posted on December 16, 2019December 15, 2019 by Sandra

We didn’t have any plans for our anniversary this year, but plans found us! We ended up going dancing with a bunch of new friends and I got to break in my new ballroom shoes. We were recently in Montana and I found a shop that sold dancing supplies. Almost everything was square dance themed….

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary! We were married on December 14, 2002. I still remember our entire first dance routine.

Ruffwear Dog Boot Fit Guide

Posted on November 26, 2019November 25, 2019 by Sandra

We get a lot of people asking us about J’s dog boots. He has two sets of boots from Ruffwear: a winter set and a summer set. James tends to get snow packed in between his pads in the winter. He will just stop walking and lift up a foot and then switch and lift…

Does James the Poodle like Apples?

Posted on November 22, 2019November 21, 2019 by Sandra

The apples here in Oyama, British Columbia are ripe and are being picked off the trees. It is fun to walk around the orchard with James and watch. I was talking to these apple pickers and they were saying hello to James. The man took an apple and threw it for James to retrieve. James…

Ice Hockey Gear in Canada

Posted on November 8, 2019November 5, 2019 by Sandra

As we drive around the Calgary area, I keep seeing these stores called “Canadian Tire” and I told Chris I wanted to check it out. We aren’t in the market for new tires, but the stores are HUGE. They must sell other things besides tires. And guess what? They do! They have sporting goods, housewares,…

Weather on my Apple Watch

Posted on October 30, 2019October 28, 2019 by Sandra

I love that my Apple watch has the weather on the face. I can quickly glance and see the current temperature, as well as the high and the low for the day. I’ve been traveling a lot lately and for some reason my watch can’t seem to figure out what weather to show me. This…

Canadian Currency is so Beautiful!

Posted on October 28, 2019October 25, 2019 by Sandra

We are in Canada and one of our first stops was getting Canadian cash. Canada’s currency is so beautiful – in fact it is my favorite in all of the World! The paper has the most beautiful feel to it and in fact, it isn’t paper. The Canadian currency is actually plastic – made from…

French First Words

Posted on October 22, 2019October 20, 2019 by Sandra

Are Poodles French? Maybe. Poodles are said to be the national dog of France. Is there a such thing as a French Poodle? No. But historians agree that the Poodle probably came from Germany (even though it is still argued that the origins are French). In France, James the Poodle is known as a Caniche…

Flowers in Seattle

Posted on October 11, 2019October 4, 2019 by Sandra

I love looking at plants, trees and flowers when we travel. I was surprised to see succulents growing in the rocks along a path in Seattle! I was also really surprised to see thistles everywhere! Some were small and some were HUGE! AND of course the blackberries. I finally decided to eat a few off…
