PART II: ... but I'm a small town gal.

TEN REASONS I PREFER GULL LAKE TO REGINA

1. Farms and Fields everywhere.

2. Stars are visible as soon as its dark outside.

3. Time and the space to paint.

4. It would take hours to walk to the next town = lots of country & gravel roads.

5. If one grocery store doesn't have what you want, you know the other store does.

6. The town gathers to watch a bunch of guys get a stuck combine out of a ditch/slough.

7. Only 1 movie theater; 1 movie for 3 nights = no arguing over what to see.

       Since they're older movies, they're also cheaper!

8. No malls. Only a Quilt store that has yet to be visited by this gal =  Improvisation & a savings account.

9. With said saved money and extra time, one can buy luxury items. For example, a puppy or an ereader, on which one can actually read books for FUN!

10. a Tim Horton's coffee is a luxurious treat.

This was definitely NOT taken in Gull Lake. It definitely WAS a treat of a day! :)

Leash, Pee, sit... (sung similarly to the ABC song)

In the last 24 hours we have learned...

- if we pee in the house, we must immediately brace ourselves to be transported outside.
- if we pee outside, we get a treat and lots of love.
- that we pee in the front yard, not besides the house.
- that the green cup brings us food.
- that food only comes if we relax.
- that we must sit down to have the leash put on or taken off.
- this thing around the neck (collar), sucks ass.
- that if we run into Ninface or Rewhead's feet and legs, it can hurt.
- that we don't growl at other dogs.
- we do not bite our owners hands when they feed us.
- the meaning of "relax" and all the love & amazing things it brings us.
