Happy 9th birthday, Táta

February 5, 2021February 5, 2021Táta8 Comments

It’s Táta’s 9th birthday on Saturday! Woah, I can’t believe it’s already been four years since I picked her up from the airport and brought her home with me.

This little doggie spent her youth on a farm in Alberta, learning how to herd with a number of experienced Icelandic Sheepdogs.

These old photos show her with her farm friends, enjoying all that rural life has to offer. As well, side-by-side photos of her from 2015, when she was pregnant and eventually giving birth to her litter on February 28, 2015.

Sometimes I wonder if she misses that life, then I am reminded, she has three beds, 4-5 walks a day, a best cat friend named Harry and a family that spoils her. Retirement has its benefits.

A late January return …

It’s been several months since I have blogged. The winter month has been a series of back luck storms for me, including a broken elbow, and a collision with a deer that left my car in terrible condition — but me, I am thankfully okay.

But as I look toward a new month, I wanted to make sure I returned to my blog; a late January return. And with any mid-January post, what better than some snowy photos of my bright light, Táta!

Táta’s first week

March 27, 2017Táta16 Comments

Wow! It’s already been one week since we picked up Táta from the airport. And what a great week it’s been. Our cats took the week to get adjusted, but they have quickly got back into their routine. As for Táta, she is right at home! She enjoys her walks and naps on the couch the most. We love this Icelandic Sheepdog so much already — feels like she’s been here forever.

Welcome Táta

Say hello to the newest member of our family! Táta, the Icelandic Sheepdog who came all the way to us from Biggs Ranch in Alberta!

Stockholm & Vaxholm (Sweden Pt 1)

I have finally arrived in Sweden! After taking a more than five hour flight from Toronto to Iceland, we touched down at Vasteras airport – just 80 minutes outside of Stockholm.

We stayed at the beautiful, waterfront Hotel Diplomat in Stockholm. Our room had a courtyard view with a small balcony, but we had no problem viewing the water while eating our early morning breakfast. This hotel is top notch; it’s exactly what the photos depict. Clean, historic and perfectly situated in old Stockholm.

We also used our evening to explore Vaxholm, located in the city’s archipelago. Our hotel was right across from the Cinderella Viking Line ferry (NOTE: each way will cost you about $25 CAD per person). “Idyllic archipelago town with many well-preserved wooden houses from the turn of the last century, painted in the archipelago’s typical delicate pastel tones. Vaxholm has numerous charming restaurants, cafés and shops,” reads the visitstockholm.com website.
