LeBleu Pack: Proud to be Canadian

If you haven't followed the Olympics at all let me fill you in a bit. This past week was an exciting week if you are a Canadian as both the men's and women's curling won gold and so did the hockey teams. When you think of Canadian winter sports you automatically think of hockey and curling so it was fitting that we took gold in both events. Molly and Blitz were cheering so loudly that they wore themselves out.

Go Canada Go

So tired but still holding the flags

I am finding it very hard this year to be here in February as for the past 10+ years Craig and I have always flown somewhere warm, either Caribbean or Florida, but due to Hannah we decided to hold off on any vacation. The temperatures have been sitting around the -30'c mark and when you add in the wind chill you get -50'c or colder. It's even too cold to take the dogs out, I tried to get a couple of pictures of Blitz and Molly but the Princess Warrior wouldn't even get out of the truck and Blitz lasted only a couple of seconds, just enough for me to get a shot of him.

I'm the King of the World!

One thing that is saving me is that the sun is shining just about every day, it now rises about 7:45am and is setting at 4:35pm. It makes a big difference in how you feel when there is sun. Miss Molly is catching as much rays during the day as she can and she actually follows the sun as it moves from one spot in the house to another.

This is just after 1pm and she had to move from

one side of the couch to the other.

I know that I have posted her fuzzy feet in the past but

the fur is getting ridiculously long

Blitz was looking after Hannah yesterday, everywhere she went he followed her. He only brought her one toy this time but when she moved from sleeping place to sleeping place and he was right there. I find it amazing how animals react to another living being when it is ill. Blitz has always been in tune with anyone who is not well and Hannah was having a rough day yesterday and he picked up on it right away. Below are a few examples of him looking after Hannah.

Brought her a toy

Laying on her: she was uncomfortable

so she growled, he moved, she moved and...

this is where they ended up.

Craig, our neighbour Kim and I headed over to see the Cambridge Bay Drum Dancers practice last night. Since Doug (Kim's hubby) is away on business we invited her over for dinner and then headed to our community hall to watch them practice. It was great as Julia explained each dance to us and what it represented and gave us some history on each one. It wasn't the full dance team and they were not in their traditional clothing but we loved every minute of it. Here are some pictures and video of them during practice.
