…who proceeded to track his owner’s purchases from the meat vendor (liked our treats).
And for the 2nd one too, yes?

…and Saturday, August 3, 2024!

Walk towards all the commotion (yips, howls, yowls, borking, woofing).
Look for the canine stage.
With all great street fairs, there are some issues with it. Meh… I’ll cope!
Dog pool jump. Sponsored & commercial event. Interesting…
Check that tongue out!

That featured picture: it’s a candid shot of my spouse preparing for yesterday’s market. Hard core! Focused & ferocious feline!

PN wants to signal-boost our booth-buddy’s property sale. I’ve toured it. And that backyard is WORTH A LOOK. TS was impressed with the kitchen. MLS number 40607982 / X9010412 .

So, what does the grand entrance to our home look like?

Friday July 19, 2024… I took this 39 second video at the entrance of our future home. I want the public to know that the following businesses WILL be set up near Gilles Lake: (a) Black Dog Biscuits; (b) vendor for BE-AS-HAPPY-AS-YOUR-DOG signed copies & workbook; (c) Black Cat B&B; and, (d) 3BlackCat Bakery. IF THE GREEN GATE IS CLOSED, PLEASE RESPECT THE SIGNAGE and DO NOT ENTER. Contact PN or TS if you need access.

Both! Living together, breaking furniture & causing chaos.

Dogs or cats?

They have different languages that humans need to learn. Dog is allowed to go on patrol with their beloved hooman. Cats remain in the house, predating on vermin… and really really look good.

Every Wednesday, 10:00 to 13:00 EST.
Parkette provided by Blue Heron Cruise. Thanks, eh. Their FB presence.
Visitors to our booth (with more images to come).
BDB needs an official sign!
Don’t shirk your parking fees. They check!
Oversized trucks, park at the visitor’s centre!!
At least my truck had company.

The show must go on! Get your Tobey-Cookies at your local market or craft-fair.

…TS has set up an online presence for your dog. They want/need Black Dog Biscuits, you… my dear hooman… can order their own pack.

PN is out of commission for the next bit. He discovered how much tissue damage one can do to to his 54-year-old, right shoulder and neck. And pain. Oh my f**king god! PN is being reminded just how much discomfort one can experience with pinched nerves and warring opposing muscle groups. X-rays? Done. Ultrasound examination of that muscle/bone/connective tissue set? Done… and PN is now waiting for the diagnosis from the Taddle Creek Health Team. PN commits to physiotherapy? Ug. Yes. Thank glod for extended medical coverage as a retired teacher.

Markets where you can find Black Dog Biscuits:

Not shown: ice-packs, all kinds of Rx, application of traction to affected limbs, 2 rigged up office chairs, PN crying and yowling in pain.

We’re right beside the carver.
TS is intrepid.
A pack of 3.
The other 2 got treats. Now, it’s the Lab’s turn!
Today’s mediation and its link (the statistics are my own vanity). Yep, I’m committed. PN.

This is a picture of a dog. It’s a cross between a poodle and a Burmese mountain dog.
His epic tail swished away the doubters.
The parking lot is closed until 12:30 p.m. (designated parking nearby).

June 22nd – Let’s try something different…

by NapsWithCats-ScubaMan, posted in Community, weekend farmers market

…at the Owen Sound Farmer’s Market. Our booth will have its bay door open to the pedestrian-only area (during non-market days, or the winter, it’s customer parking). If you have a leashed dog, you are welcomed to drop by that area. There will be vendors on its perimeter. See you there.

I’m a diving dog.
Throw a stone into a lake, and I’ll fetch it.
…okay, it might not be the same rock. But still, I retrieve.
Until 12:30 p.m. today.
And she enjoyed a puppy-sized Black Dog Biscuit (excellent for training).
Dede, this was a kindness. I’m looking forward to trying the condiment on meat dishes.
This is a flock of sandhill cranes, located in a field on Lindsay Road 40.

I was delivering dog biscuits to a neighbour, when I noticed these (good) activities…

Please do not disturb the turtle nest. Thank you… to whomever installed it!
27 sandhill cranes. With all the avian politics evident!
I stopped and actually READ the sign. This road REALLY is safer to drive.
I imaged the birds without digital zoom. You might have to download it and zoom in.

And here are some images from this afternoon’s Meaford Market (…here’s another link if you’d like more information about the weekly event).

...tba… 10:37 a.m.… And today, from 15:00 to 19:00!

I’m observing how Meaford’s topography affects the local weather. It’s a U-shaped valley.
…And our booth is ready for your visit.
