Then, Now and a Really Fat Squirrel...

Then...
With Rosie turning 6 months in a few days it was nice to get some pictures from her first day with us. Andrew and Heather were holding on to these treasures but here they finally are. No wonder she weaseled her way into our hearts...she was so darned cute!

Now...

Mike was busy at the track this weekend and someone took some good pictures. He ended up second after losing in the finals to the current junior national champion who had just returned from a national training camp. He also (surprisingly) made it to the endurance final but had to ride up to the rail immediately after his final sprint so dropped out early. Impressive that he made it though.

This is the quarter finals...easy win.

Another win in the semi-final. This guy qualified second.

Racing his good friend Lorne in the first round.

And just cruising around between races.

Here is a picture of Rosie looking out the window this morning. A little bigger than when we got her.

The Fat Squirrel...
Finally, the obesity epidemic has affected our squirrel population. This guy has so many chins he has trouble turning his head.

Rosie is Still Crazy!

Rosie has been growing like a weed so I thought I would just post some random pictures of her from the last few weeks. She fell asleep on her pink piggy after a hard play.


We got some good pictures of her playing in the leaves. She does not look really impressed to have her playing interrupted though.

I was playing with the black and white function in the camera. Here is a pretty good one.

And finally, who can resist and sleeping puppy...nothing better than that.

Rosie has had a few quiet days for growing but she was in full crazy mode this morning. This crazy was after an hour hike which was after her normal morning walk. The memory card filled up so it sort of ends abruptly.

Christmas Roses

Five and a half weeks until Christmas!!!
Rosie is getting very excited about Santa coming...either that or she thinks I need to get a life.
