(Poison) Ivy taking care of the apartment. Doesn't she look fierce?

Yikes, I meant to put the last three pictures in one post. By the time I get to Oz I should have the hang of this. This is all domestica so not that interesting outside my immediate family...............
Lydie picks me up in 1 1/2 hours and then I'm on my way.
The next time I check in I will be on the other side of the world.
Love to you all,
Ellen (middlesis)

And this is me with Beau and Toby and the Bruce Sand Pit

Beau and (Poison) Ivy are well taken care of while I'm away.

Beau is in Ottawa with Eliza and Steve. They kindly accepted to look after him while I am away. Every day they go to Bruce Pit a large part of which has been fenced off for a dog park. All the dogs, there are four of them, are so happy to be there.
Thanks Elizabeth and Steve.
