Bowling Dinner Drinks

Well it was a pretty good date for Ilse and I.  This past Saturday the company I work for hosted a social event for their employees.  There was about 10 of us that went bowling in Cambridge to start off the evening.  It was going to be a long night out and Ilse was coming along for all of it.

Afterwards we went to a restaurant in Cambridge called "Kiwi".   We had a pretty good time, and Ilse was able to sit there quietly for most of the meal.  I could see she was having trouble staying still about midway through, so we went outside for a bit and I gave her a break.

After dinner, we went over to Moose Winooski's in Kitchener to watch NHL playoffs.   We were seated in the bar area, which has a floor, littered with peanut shells.   This was going to be a good test for Ilse.  While she was initially a bit interested in them, she gave up interest (after some coaching by myself).   We carried on with watching the game, and she laid by our feet.  After an exciting 3-2 overtime win by Ottawa [Go Sens Go!], we decided to call it a night.

Ilse still hasn't caught on to the fact that she can sleep whenever we are out and not moving around, but instead, she will just sit and watch everything going on, resulting in her being super tired when we get home or back in the car.   I think it took all of 1 minute for her to fall asleep in the car on the drive home.

It was a busy and long night for both of us, but I was proud of how well she did.   Still plenty of room for improvement, but a good outing overall.

Big Fetch for a Little Pup

A few weeks ago work took me to the exotic locale of Bruce County.   It was a long day and Ilse came along for the ride, to keep me company and to help navigate of course.

I was on a seemingly deserted country road and thought we could both use a break and get rid of some energy.  This was the result.
