Brodan & Me

Its been a beautiful year (2012). So much to be thankful for. Yesterday, Cleopatra and I took in "War Horse". A moving story of a young man who raises a horse "Joey" and develops bond beyond discription. I couldn't help automatically think the special bond Brodan and I have developed. Brodan is my "Joey". From Brodan and I to everyone, Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas to you Jo-Anne and Happy New Year, love Brodan

Christmas Comes early for Brodan

Brodan old boy, you got mail. It's a big package! What could it be? Hey its from Jo-Anne, yippee! WOW! Brodan absolutely loves his new toy, frisbee and other beautiful gifts you gave us. Thank you very much Jo-Anne. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from Brodan and the Nielsens.

Nov.24/12 First Snow in Barrie, On.

Confession : i'm not the biggest fan of the white stuff. mom's says we're in for a nasty winter because the bees built their hives at higher level from the ground this year which indicates,... snow.

profile fun with B-Man

good clean fun

I have a feeling,..i'm getting a bath today

I have a feeling i'm getting a bath today. What's with the conditioner too? First, it's been a while. Second, there is plenty of muck outside these days. Third, Grandma is coming over for a visit today. Here's the kicker. I just might smell a little doggy. Haha. I'm a DOG! Dogs get doggy. Dad took me to Robinson's Hardware with him in the Ford 150 after playing frisbee. After picking up the d-cells he needed. Opening the drivers side door, where i regally sat behind the wheel admiring myself in the rearview mirror, ready to pounce on shop lifters if needed, there was a momentary slow motion reaction from Dad as his head jolted back. A Brodan fart it was not. I guess there was an aroma that waffled his nose hairs, perhaps it was me? I have a feeling,...i'm getting a bath today.

Sleeping Beauty

Not a creature was stirring, not even a squirrel. Dreaming about yogurt containers, and Jiffy PB, Sleeping so soundly, no frisbee, nor wubba could free him from his tranquil purr

Closing the Cottage / Inspecting the River

While Dad was busy taking the pump out ; I gave the river one last good check over. Of course the river was a little cooler than I last remember. Didn't stop me from going in.

Apparently B- Man and I walked through water ?

Hi Jo-Anne

Good morning Jo-Anne, I'm doing well. The summer has gone by fast. Mom has gone back to School Teaching and Dad has started a new job so life has returned to normal. Still having fun running after squirrels & rabbits. Playing lots of frisbee. I got a new muzzle that is brown and replaces my yellow one. I also got a new leash.I'm getting older but it hasn't slowed me down at all but sometimes I put myself to bed earlier now. Bedtime is usually about 9 pm for me. Dad and I will be planning one more trip to the cottage to turn the water off for the season and prepare it for winter. Other than that life is pretty normal. Your friend, Brodan. xoxoxo

Matt & David

Matt & David, My good friends from Peterborough. Just want to let you know I miss you guys and my Mom and Dad are back from vacation. Hope to see you soon. Say hi to T$.

Brodan Goes Swimming

This past weekend Brodan took to the river. One problem. He drinks a gallon or two of river water while he swims. Yesterday early morning, we went for a 30 minute trail run, followed later in the morning by a good swim. Not only does he thoroughly enjoy swimming but what a great cardio work out. Do I buy him some goggles?
