Updated puppy photos

When my good friends Tyler and Kristen got Rocco last year, I started taking as many pictures of the puppy as possible. I wanted to document his growth, because we all knew he was going to be HUGE!

Below, I have included a few photos taken last year. I think he's grown...

A puppy update

I forgot to post updated photos of my friend's puppy with my last photo blog, so here are a few...

Rocco is either 14 or 15 weeks old now, and he's growing like crazy. We took him to Winnipeg Beach last weekend, which provided him with a fantastic opportunity to socialize with new people and new animals.

He also got to hang out with Becker (who is pictured on the right in the above photograph). That's our friend Ryan's dog, and he's roughly 135 lbs.

I can't get over the fact that this cute little puppy will be a full-sized dog pretty soon. He's already grown considerably since I took the first photos of him the day Ty & Kristen brought him home.

*Sigh* They grow up so fast...

Happy Canada Day!

I loooveeee Canada Day!

This year, we have many things to celebrate...

• Tyler & Kristen are getting married in a year, and they've been engaged for a year.
• Matt & Leah are having a second baby.
• Ashton & I finished our summer class.
• Tyler & Kristen recently got a puppy, Rocco.
• My parent's are trying to sell our house, so I will officially only have this apartment to live in.
• The Winnipeg Free Press is publishing one of my freelance pieces, which I submitted two days ago.
• I'm halfway done my IPP draft.

Let's party!

Pass time with photos

Summer is half over.

This is quite the depressing thought. I am loving my time out of class, and I feel like I am actually beginning to regain my sanity after the whirlwind that is the first year of CreComm.

There are still two months left of summer, and I want to use this halfway point to my advantage. Below are some photos of some of the things I have been doing to keep myself busy...

Assiniboine Park. Playing guitar along the river. Usually, we try to get out as often as possible, and this was an especially beautiful day in May.

When the water was really high at the beginning of the season, it went all the way up to the bank.

I'm enjoying myself, and Jeff is capturing the moment, but he doesn't hesitate to remind me every five seconds that he'll throw ME into the river if I drop his guitar.

The Fort Garry Hotel. Sam and I decided that we might as well check it out since we were in the neighbourhood. It totally feels like the set of The Shining, and I was hoping I would run into one of the many ghosts that are rumoured to haunt the interior.

The elevators in the Fort Garry Hotel were especially cool.


Upper Fort Garry, with a view of the Fort Garry Hotel in the background. There are plans to re-create and build up a provincial park around the ruins, which I think is a fantastic idea.

The gated entrance to the fort. I love this door.

Inside Union Station on Main Street.

Another interesting shot of Union Station. Both Sam and I fell in love with this curved bench.

And finally, here's Rocco, the newest addition to Tyler and Kristen's household. Hes a rottweiler, and about six weeks in this photo. He's already doubled in size, and I'm more that a little nervous about when he reaches his full height!
