Jeremy, Tucker and I took a family picture while we were in Cape Breton. I liked this one the best. But we have a different one up in the house right now.

Tucker Has A Puppy Friend!!!
I have been so excited on Wednesday myself, Dawn and Joy went to the dog park in Fredericton. Liam and Rascal had a great time playing, however Liam didn't like it when Tucker tried to play with Rascal. He would bark and chase Tucker away. Dawn said she will work on that for next time.
But on Wednesday, a little boxer puppy named Tyson was there. He's about 3.5 months old, brown in color, he's really cute. Tucker and Tyson hit it off pretty quick and they played most of the time both doggies were there! It was nice to see Tucker engaging in play with another dog. Mostly he hides under the bench, and that is where most of the play happened, but it was cute and very exciting for me.
Today, Jeremy and I took Tucker to the dog park again, as we usually do on Sunday afternoons if we are home. I didn't see Tyson coming to the park, but Tucker sure did! He went to the door to greet him. I see Tucker going to the door and thought that's odd, Tucker never goes to the door to meet new dogs. At the time all I could see was a white dog named Ozzy. In through the door walks Tyson, then it all clicked in for me. Tucker met Tyson at the door, however, would not let him into the park very far, so I had to go get him off Tyson. The person who usually brings Tyson to the park is a male, however this time he was with a female. Of course she doesn't know that the two of them played on Wednesday so I explained to her that they had become friends on Wednesday. Of course, she seems like the over protective mother type. So I'm trying to make Tucker behave, of course he just wants to play with Tyson and can't understand why he is not allowed this time. Eventually, the "over protective mother" backed offa bit, when she realized that Tucker wasn't going to hurt Tyson. So the two of them played again today, and Jeremy got to see him play. Which is good, because it is an exciting thing to see. For those of you who have kids, it's like your kid going to school and coming home with a friend for the first time. It's that kind of exciting, like a relief of some sort. "Phew, my kid isn't going to be a loner" kind of relief. LOL
I'll try to snag a picture of Liam, Rascal and Tyson to add to the post here so you can see what kinda puppies I'm talking about.
Ohh, Wednesday was Rascals first time to the park, and Joy said he quite enjoyed himself and he keeps running to the car everytime they go outside. She said it's like he's saying "maybe this time she'll take me to the park to play with the puppies!" LOL We've decided to make the Wednesday thing a regular thing, which is good because Tucker needs the socialization and Rascal really enjoys playing with all the puppies!

Our Yellow House
So for the people I have worked with I have been talking about my yellow house. Even some of my family has not seen my house yet.
I told Jen forever ago that I would take a picture of the Yellow House and post it on my blog. Sorry it took me so long, but here it is!

Welcome Kaylee Jennifer Marie Grant
My friend Jennifer and her husband Jamie are the proud parents of their first baby girl. Riley, who is Jennifer and Jamie's first child, is very excited about the new addition of Kaylee.
I must say she is perfect! At 6 lbs 1 oz she is gorgeous! She has 10 finger and 10 toes and is healthy, which is all a person can ask for.
I got to hold her when she was less then 2 hrs old! What a little darling!!!! I'm not sure how long she is as no one seemed to know the length of the sweetheart, but that's ok I'm sure I'll learn that at some point!
Congrats to Jennifer, Jamie and Riley! Kaylee sure is lucky to have a family like you three!

So Bad at This!
Seems I suck in the world of blogging! I have done so much in the last little while and have not blogged a word of it. If Jeremy ends up posted to Manitoba, I'm going to have to learn to be better at this because for some people it will be one of the only ways to stay up-to-date in my comings and goings.
So let's start with the May long weekend. Jeremy, Tucker and I went to PEI to help mom and dad open the trailer up. Dad wasn't feeling well so Jeremy did most of the outside work. I really suggest going to the island for the long weekend in May...why you might ask...well if you aren't into touristy stuff...ie Anne of Green Gables, and the other amusement parks over there, there is no one else on the island. Cavendish was like a ghost town, but I have to say it was very nice to be able to pull out from the campground and drive up the road at the speed limit. Normally, I'm stuck behind one tourist or another and going like 30km/hr through Cavendish..when all I really want is a Timmy's Coffee! LOL We took Tucker to the beach and had a blast playing with him. He was chewing on everything and picking everything up in his mouth. He really enjoyed it. However, at that time he was still just a baby and he got tired really quickly. So I picked him up onto my knee so he wouldn't be cold. (I know he's baby'd so much, but the cats get it just as much!) That is when Jeremy snapped this picture of me and Tucker.
I only know the dogs names, I have no idea on the owners! LOL but from left to right we have Sophie, Rosie, Maggie, Boss, Zeus, and my little Tucker! lol...missing from the picture is Trigger who was a bit of aggressive.

Ohh, unless you count puppy classes. Jeremy and I signed (actuallly it was more me) Tucker up for Puppy Class at Pawsative Rewards here in Oromocto. One thing I have decided is that if I'm going to have an 80lb dog that I need to walk and take care of, he better damn well listen to me and know his commands. I also wanted to socialize him with other puppies, so that he will know how to behave around other dogs. Thursday, July 5th was his graduation. Unfortunately, Tucker did not really play with the other puppies that much. He would rather sit between Jeremy and I and watch the other puppies horse around. However, on Thursday, he was much more interested in the other puppies. Go figure, the last night of class and he decides he wants to play with them! LOL Ahh well, they don't offer any courses for the summer so there will be no Grade 1 in Tuckers near future, until Jeremy finds out where we will be moving, at that time we will be back in contact with our trainer to find out where a good spot to go would be. I emailed her for a class picture, and will add it when I get it.

For the July 1st weekend, I sooked my way to the Cabot Trail. haha! I told Jeremy that if there was a possibility of us not being on the East Coast come September, then I wanted to see the Cabot Trail before we went. He had just come out of the field after spending 5 days out in the wilderness with the guys, sleeping on the ground and what not, here I was convincing him that camping would be awesome! lol but I won and Jeremy, Tucker and I headed out to the Cabot Trail on Friday. After about 5 hrs of driving we got stopped because the Natives had the road blocked. We were stopped there for about 45 mins before we could continue on our travels. We arrived at the campground at about 845pm and quickly checked in, and headed to town to get some food. During the weekend, we decided to hit all of the waterfall trails and then Jeremy seen the Skyline Trail and he wanted to do that one. However, no dogs were allowed on this trail. We thought about just taking him anyways, however the trail seemed to be quite busy and there were always people around. We didn't know why we couldn't take Tucker, so we stopped 
at information and asked. It was because there are a lot of moose on that trail and Tucker might bark, which would cause the moose to charge. Not exactly my idea of a nice Sunday hike. Jeremy had pretty much decided he wouldn't go, but I had drug him there and this was the only thing he had asked to really do. So I suggested that he hike it alone and that I would take care of Tucker. He was game for that. So Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast and then I dropped Jeremy off on the trail so that he could hike it and take tons of pictures for me. We drove home on Sunday and got a late start leaving so it put us home about midnight. We missed the fireworks, however we did see some from the highway as we drove past cities and towns along the way. Our trip home was a bit longer because we decided to do the whole cabot trail and ventured all the way around it on our way. Jeremy got some awesome shots of the waterfalls and the other various scenery along the way. We stopped at Green Cove to take a family picture. Jeremy used his tripod to take it. It turned out ok, a little dark, but really not that bad.

I finally got batteries for my camera so I can actually take pictures too. LOL Jeremy thinks I'm a little too dependent on him in the picture department. However, I did take some pictures on the Cabot Trail...mostly because he was in the picture! LOL
