Standing Ovation on Opening Night

The Madawaska Players presents "The Man, the Dog & the Frying Pan".  The main roles played by the former King of Cribbage of the Madawaska and Brodan opened to a standing ovation to a somewhat disappointing turn out. Lost in northern Ontario and scavenging for food & shelter, a cast iron frying pan is found. As they soon discover its just not any ordinary frying pan but a magical frying pan. The frying pan when held over one particular rock, comes to a sizzling life. Hunger is answered with pancakes, eggs, bacon and dog biscuits. Man & his dog are bewildered when their pockets are filled with gold coins & Becker's Milk coupons. Only by the Stars and the Sun as a compass, the Man & his Dog set out for Combermere. 

 

The play has a spectacular unexpected ending as Combermere isn't their final destination. Brodan the Wonderdog's performance is riveting! He steals the show and at times his performance makes the King of Cribbage of the Madawaska's performance second rate. Nevertheless, a performance you must see.

Can your dog stack wood?

Captured this moment yesterday. Almost always Brodan will rest in his bed (bottom right corner of picture). I can only deduct one of two things made him get up in move. First there is something furry outside and he needed a better angle to keep an eye on. Second and probably closer to the correct answer he just needed that little extra warmth. Notice his water bowl. When he gets too warm by the fire : B-Man will have a little drink to stay hydrated. Today I'm teaching him how to chop wood and stack.

That's the Meal Ticket

The rule during meal time is Brodan must lay down and not be within proximity of the dinner table. So he has decided to try to out fox us. Beneath the kitchen sink of course is where we scrape the dishes into the compost green bin. As you can see B-Man is garburator ready. What's better he's not looking at us so he's one hundred percent innocent. Hey Guys i'm laying down like you told me. Further below, Meal Ticket B-Man then gets his ears scratched by Mom afterwards.

Brodan & the Kayak.

 He's loyal.
Perhaps B-Man thought i was taking another mode of transportation back to Barrie and didn't want to be left behind?
Brodan followed me down the shoreline for several hundred meters. In the bottom picture Brodan instructs H how to get the maximum efficiency out of each paddle stroke. She had no idea she was dong it wrong. Thanks Brodan.
On a side note the very highest level I have seen the Madawaska River in 28 years.

He's Still Got It !
