Happy Quiet

Henry Francis on the left with another puppy visitor Duke.

Over 3 days we had 42 people and 2 dogs visit to see the baby and/or the new puppy Henry Francis. We consumed a staggering amount of food and drink, and between the puppy and the baby created many loads of laundry and trash. 

In the midst of such chaos Hannah Cat retreated for 4 days to the office and only had one chance meeting with Henry Francis. While tearing around a corner, he came almost face to face with the cat and screeched to a halt and retreated BACKWARDS out of the room.

Frenchie suffered an episode of Vestibular disease (an old dog disease that affects the balance)  and has been quiet and off center somewhat.

Baby Emma is a delight and was one of 3 infants here over the weekend.

Boy Child, DIL and Baby are on their way home to Montreal.
Girl Child and Henry Francis are now back in Toronto and adjusting to life with a puppy in the 49th floor
Hannah Cat is in the basket after her 4 day exile.
The Raz Man and I are clearing the debris from the extended weekend.
And we are missing the kids, puppy and baby already.

  5. This sounds like it was the perfect weekend! Love little Henry the Frenchie, I may just kidnap him. Sorry to hear that the real Frenchie had some balance issues - we get that here. Poor kitty, too much fuss, but she did what she had to do and even impressed the puppy.

    I know pics of Emma are not to be on the blog, but how is she doing? How old now? How big? How much did you hold her? So much goodness all at once.

  9. It sounds like you had a lovely weekend and there is quiet in the house once more. Babies, whether canine or human, bring people together and are amplifiers of joy and positive energy.

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting so sweetly on my latest post. I am so very happy with our new home. And, yes, my bed does fit! The ceiling in the loft is high enough to accommodate the canopy.

    xoxo,
    Anne
