B.C. loses two of the best
|
May, 2002 Maybe they missed the trilliums. Maybe they wanted to meet Ceilidh. Maybe the spectre of 3000 suddenly-unemployed civil servants made Conservative Premier Gordon Campbell's capital city a little less inviting. Whatever the reason, after four months of battling Victoria's job market, Laura & James decided to cut their losses and drive back to Ontario. Within a week, Laura was tending bugs at Agriculture Canada in Ottawa and James was recording bird calls somewhere beyond Thunder Bay.

Her name is Ceilidh (say 'Kay-Lee'), which means "a time of dancing, music and
laughter" in Gaelic. She was born Jan 4, 2002. Her sire Reu's mother had the
same two parents that Gandalf did, which makes her — what? — Gandalf's great
niece? Do dog people use the same terms as genealogy people?
What we're learning is that, though she comes from the same
family, she's her own personality; and that having a new puppy in the house is
quite as exhausting as having a new baby.

Arran returns from Berlin |
February 9, 2002
We're not sure if it was something in the water, the month of 14-hour work days, or the excitement of actually completing the models of Daniel Libeskind's design for the Royal Ontario Museum's expansion, but something sure happened!
Arran says, "It's the Berlin look."

Family mourns beloved pet
|
January 1, 2002
After two weeks of hell, during which we didn't know what was
wrong, and couldn't find out because holiday closures delayed veterinarian
testing procedures and lab results, our beloved Gandalf succumbed
to the stomach cancer that was making his life a misery.
During his short five years with us, he was the
source of much amusement, but there is nothing at all amusing
about the pain we feel at his loss.
