Religion in Canada

I have proof that hockey is more important then religion in Canada. You'll recall yesterday I posted about our mens hockey team winning gold, well all across this country people gathered to watch that game. One location was a church, where the religious service was held between periods. Now if that isn't proof that hockey is a religion in Canada, I don't know what is.

Golden boys

Our Canadian mens Hockey team just beat the Swedish team 3 - 0 to take the gold.
Canada is a hockey mad country to begin with, and with the win we prove it to the world. This is the first time a country has won back to back golds in Olympic hockey, ever.

GO CANADA GO!!!!!!!!!!

Golden Girls

Our ladies hockey team just won the gold medal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Special trip

This Friday me and daddy are going to go watch my favorite team practice, that's right, me and daddy are going to get to see my Leafs up close. I'm bringing my hat along so I can get even more autographs, and I really hope I can get an autograph from our favorite player, Joffrey Lupul.

Daddy's Lupul jersey.

You can be sure that as soon as we get home we'll post a blog about it.

Daddy decided that because everyone is raising the Pride flag in support of the gays in Russia during the olympics, daddy decided that I should wear my Pride bandanna during the rest of the games.

I got this at the Pride festival in 2012

Playing in the snow

Today I got to play in the snow.... well instead of telling you about it, I'll show you, daddy took video of me playing in the snow.

Watch at 1:12 for me to pee in the snow, I'm still trying to figure out how to pee my name in the snow.

Oh, and here is a video of daddy shooting a bow and arrow from the Sportsman show.

And here is a picture of the Archery team from daddy's year book.

Daddy is standing next to the teacher, and the 2nd from the end in the top picture

He really was good at Archery, honest, but it was 1990, 24 years ago, so he really does need to practice more.

Toronto Sportsman Show part 2

Wow, what an awesome day we had yesterday, there was all kinds of things to see and do at the show. And I got to see some new animal friends when I was there.

Daddy got to try his hand at archery (shooting a bow and arrow), he discovered that he really needs more practice in order to be as accurate as he was in high school. See daddy used to be a member of the archery team, and had gotten really good, but that was several decades ago, he did hit the target once or twice out of the five arrows he got.

I got to see some new animals that most bunnies would dread seeing. Instead of telling you about it, I'll show you some of them.

I got to see a real live bald eagle

The white bird in the back ground is an owl, and I think the one in front is a hawk or a falcon.

See what I mean about being so close to those, they are birds of prey, and would eat bunnies like me. At the same place we saw these birds, daddy talked to a fellow Aspie (a person that has Aspergers), and he had one of the coolest jobs. He is a Falconer (a person that works with falcons), at Medieval Times here in Toronto, see what I mean about him having a very cool job. But he wasn't working with the birds that day, he was working over at the archery range.

I've showed pictures of my autograph hat before, well I added a new one to the hat yesterday, and this one is very special. Bobby Baun, a former Toronto Maple Leaf defenceman, and the only Leaf on my hat to actually hold the Stanley Cup, in 1962, '63, '64 and '67. And we even got our picture taken with him.

My new autograph, I've now got seven signatures on my hat.

The man himself Bobby Baun

 We also added three new pins to my stroller.

A War of 1812 pin

We replaced the Support Our Troops pin that we lost

The HMCS Haida is a Canadian Navy ship that used to be docked in Toronto, but is now in Hamilton.

Daddy took a few pictures of me too.

Getting a little sleepy

Do I have something in my teeth?

Nommy, left over birthday cake.

Daddy also got himself treats, Girl Guide cookies, which are  rather hard to comeby lately. My grandma used to be a Girl Guide leader, so every year daddy would use a bit of his allowence to buy a package, but since no one in our family is in Guiding anymore, those cookies are an even rarer treat.
We do have a few more pictures from yesterday, but we have to wait until we receive them in an email. But I'll edit this post to add them once we get those pictures.

Toronto Sportsman Show

Today me and daddy are on a trip to the Toronto Sportsman Show, it was really short notice, because daddy only checked his voicemail very late last night. But we managed to get up and make it to the meetup location, by 9:00am. Getting to the bus was a big challenge, the sidewalk wasn't plowed, and the street was barely passible.

I'll be posting another big blog later tonight, with lots of  pictures of my adventures today, including a new autograph for my hat.

Snow snow go away........

.........At least for another year. Today we got even more snow, that is on top of the 2 inches on the weekend, today we got another 6 inches. I'm ready to welcome Spring with wide open paws.
Today daddy had to leave my stroller at home when we went out, due to the piles of snow making the sidewalk impassible. Daddy had to carry me in his arms, and even then it was tough going, we had to walk on the road because, well, there wasn't a sidewalk to walk on.

There should be a sidewalk near that bench, but it's buried under a foot of snow.

That driveway had just been cleared

walking on the road was the only way to get anywhere

Daddy really needed a pair of snow shoes

How I think everyone feels about the stupid groundhogs now.

To say I'm ready to do harm to the next groundhog I see is an understatement, this is why everyone should trust my predictions instead of those silly groundhogs.

Happy Birthday to me

Yesterday was my 6th birthday, and I got my usual birthday cake/salad (watermelon, parsley, and lettuce). Plus a really neat present, my very own horsie, okay, so he's a stuffie, but did you really think daddy would get me a real horse?

Anyway, I named my new horsie pal Thor, because it's the name of the God of Thunder, and Thunder was the name of the first horse I ever rode on.
