Fun contest for a GREAT cause

My husband Cory has entered our bulldog, Stewie in the Fido "model" contest.

The great thing about this contest is that for each vote $1.00 will be donated to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, up to a maximum of $200,000. That's enough to support 10 guide dogs. Imagine being able to positively impact the quality of someone's life.

You can vote once each day, up until November 17, 2011.

I love my dog SSOOOO much

I had a good scare last night. I won't go into the details, but I want to share my new admiration for our English Bulldog Stewie.

There are times when he can be a bit of pest. He is normally pretty lazy and laid back.

But last night he truly stepped up to the plate, revealing a side of him I have never seen before. He protected our home and more importantly, me!

Here is a clip of the brave little guy having some fun with his daddy.

Stewie - All grown up

How Stewie gets his exercise. Looks like Cory gets a little bit too. LOL




This is Stewie when we first got him in March 2008, then he was about 10 weeks and 8 pounds.

Next photo, taken tonight on same spot on the couch. He is one year, eight months and about 60 pounds now.  We are pretty confident he is full grown now.

This past weekend, chillin at Paul Hinman's campaign office.

Family update.... love in the air.

Our oldest daughter is expecting ...... an alien….. LOL, just kidding.
It is a little boy. Though in his first picture, he sure looked like an alien.


This will be our first grandchild and we can’t wait to see the little gaffer. We will be grandparents before Christmas and Cory isn’t even close to 40 yet ! ! .. Ha, ha…just had to get that jab in.

Then there are the engagements, three in total.

Cory’s brother finally will wed his lifelong love. It will be the third Morgan wedding in as many years... and another one set in the Canadian Rockies.

Next is our oldest son, to a wonderful dynamic woman; truly a “soul mate” to my boy…here’s hoping I am not a typical a mother-in-law. On that note, I have two awesome mother-in-laws to give me guidance. ;)

Last is my nephew….. normally I would not even mention nieces and nephews… I have WAY too many… but I find it hard to believe that someone actually tamed this boy… all 6’ 7” of him….

The love in the air has even stuck the youngest member of our family…. Stewie. He is now 9 months old and starting to fill out, looking more and more like his daddy Armonti every day.

We frequent an off-leash park and everyone tells us there are other bulldogs that go there as well, but we have never had the opportunity to meet any of them. We seem to always “just miss” them…. Until today. Stewie and I decided to go for a morning visit and he was lucky enough to meet Coco.



She is very soft and absolutely adorable. Stewie fell in love with her very quickly and they had a great time playing together.




Coco is a strong young girl, she did not hesitate to tell Stewie just what and what not, would be acceptable behaviour….LOL.
She is blonde and a little bit older than Stewie….hmmm seems he is taking after his human daddy too. ;)
