Boy, this patio stuff is tiring!

Kingston - August 19th

Here we are at the Merchant Pub in Kingston...who graciously allowed us to sit on their patio with Robin. Our waitress was great and the menu delicious!

Brockville - August 19th

Brockville turned out to be a bit of a bust! Although it's a very pretty town, the downtown area seems to be dying a slow death, there were a great deal of stores that were closed up and emptied out, lots of "for lease" signs.

That said, we did get to meet Scooby a super cute "mutt" who looks amazingly like a "Wookie". He was very sweet and we're trying to figure out what his "mix" is, any guesses. His owner's down't know, I think maybe some silky terrier?


Okay we know that Robin is a bit overweight...but this picture makes her look like she's ready to explode! Talk about a "ball" of fluff...we are working hard to get her weight down.

Not Robin Related...but pretty

Niagara Falls - August 12th

"Oh boy, I'm on my way to Niagara Falls!"
Today we went to the Niagara Dogfest in St. Catharines. Certainly not as big as woofstock, but there were quite a few vendors there and we'd definitely go again next year. One of the vendors was "foufou dog" who were at Woofstock in June and remembered Robin. Well, of course we just had to make a purchase, Robin now has a new Hooded T-Shirt (in pink of course) and some new bling bling, a three row crystal collar, both items from "foufou Dog"...they rock! Stay tuned for pictures of Robin in her new gear! . I have to say that the highlight for me was a little boy who had extremely limited vision, we were able to put Robin up nice and close so he was able to see her and pet her...makes me think yet again about Robin as a therapy dog...

After dogfest, we headed off to Niagara Falls...WOW! Hello? when did it get so darn crowded? geez the last time Jeff and I visited Niagara Falls was probably about 15 years ago, hmmmm...I know we were much younger, cause we drove all the way there just for chinese food!, we can't quite remember why we did that, really great chinese food I guess?

Way more people there than I ever remember, but then again that was before there were two new casino's and a bunch of new hotels. We managed to find cheap ($10) parking off of Lundys lane and were able to walk down to the falls and took in the always spectacular view, we walked around for a bit, lots of people stopped to say hi to Robin and to snap a picture.

We tried to stop at Boston Pizza for a beer and snack, but boos and hisses to them, they would only allow us on the patio if we tied Robin to the outside of the patio...for those of you that know us, that's just not gonna happen. Applause for Montana's who did let us bring Robin on the Patio, where we sat next to a family with a little yorkie named Bailey. Yeah for Montana's!

Coburg Street Festival - August 3rd

Here is Robin (this is a photo taken by the Coburg Daily Star) at the 38th Annual Street Sale in Coburg Ontario. We had a fun day there, and ran into Kevin Frankish and Frank from Breakfast Television (they were doing a peice on small towns, and did film Jeff and Robin, but did not air the clip) :-(
Coburg is currently our favourite "dog friendly" town. (we even went back on Saturday for another visit). We enjoyed lunch and dinner at both the Cat and the Fiddle and the Red Bull, where we, and Robin, were welcomed onto the patio by super friendly staff, it was nice to be able to enjoy the town and it's restaurants with Robin included.

This is a drawing of Robin, made by a little boy named "TREY". Trey and his family were having lunch at the Cat and the Fiddle and Trey couldn't wait to come over to our table to meet Robin. He gave us this very adorable drawing.

Woofstock - June 10th

This was Robin's first time at Woofstock in Toronto, we were stopped quite a bit so that people could get a good look at her, and some people just didn't believe that she was real! We had a great day and can't wait until next year's Woofstock!

Bobby the Chihuahua

This is Bobby, our 12 1/2 year old Chihuahua. Robin lives with Bobby. We can't say that the two are best friends (Bobby is tad on the cranky side), but they are comfortably accepting of each other. Due to some heart and breathing problems, Bobby isn't able to come out on our summer day trips with us as much as he used to, he doesn't tolerate the heat very well. We miss have our little guy along, but have to put his health first.

Blanket Foolishness

This is Robin enjoying some sun on the patio in her camping chair. She gets a bit goofy with her blanket and likes to cover herself up and then fight her way out...you can see here that she's having a blast .
