My friends Spirit and Special have their pool open now for the summer.  I’m thinking it’s still too cold for me to take a dip but those two girls have the right coat for it.  Chesapeake Bay Retrievers can take a lot of cold and not blink an eye. You go girls!  Call me when the pool temperature goes above 20C :-).  133 Westmount Drive, MLS#NB085179, Price has been lowered to $1,025,000.

Can you believe it?  It’s still raining!!!  And cold!  I’ve never seen a summer like this and Mama says she hasn’t either.  We’re afraid our flowers are going to mildew out on the deck for lack of sun.  The warm weather has got to come one of these days soon.  I want to get to the beach for a swim.  Paws crossed and hoping!

Did you see our exciting new luxury listing?  421 Kennebecasis Drive stretches all the way from RKYC Look out to Tucker Beach Road!  14.82 Acres with1700 feet of prime street frontage and 835 feet of waterfrontage in the heart of Millidgeville. Deep water mooring means you can keep a boat right out front or keep it at the neighbouring yacht club, your choice.  With majestic mature trees and the most beautiful meadow I’ve ever seen this is prime development property or perfect for a private estate.  The property is 100% private with the Kennebecasis River on one side, Rockwood Park on the other and surrounded by Tucker Park.  Feels like you’re out in the country but you’re actually just minutes from UNB, Regional Hospital, RKYC and all levels of both English and Francophone schools.  I have to say, I absolutely love it, love, love it!  MLS#088572 Offered at $3,260,000.

I’m heading down to the Algonquin Resort for Canada Day weekend.  They are so very welcoming there with us four-legged furry friends.  I just went for the first time Victoria Day weekend and I loved it!  We had a comfortable room with a view of the bay, great food and great place to walk down there.  I saw lots of other furry friends too.  St Andrews here I come!

Wishing you all a very Happy Canada Day as we all get out there and celebrate our Great Nation!  What are you doing this Canada Day?  I’ll be wearing my Canada flag scarf!

Your pal,

Nicholas

I don’t remember a June this cold or wet!!!  And neither can Mama or Papa.  Our lilacs have been in bud for a month but still not open.  The only good thing I can think of is that the June bugs are not out yet.  Mama hates those things and it’s my job to catch them and keep them away from her!  Don’t worry Mama, I’m on it!

Rain, rain go away little Nicholas wants to play!  I hate getting my beautiful coat wet and just sneak out quickly between showers when I have to.  I did get a little visit with my neighbour Rex Purdy (miniature black poodle) yesterday.  Rex and I  usually watch other through the cedar hedge as we’re both on the invisible fence but yesterday my Mama and his Mama had a back yard catch up and visit so I was allowed to go through the hedge.  Rex was just wild, he’s only two years old and high energy.  He was so happy to have my visit that he started running circles around me as fast as he could go!  We all had a good laugh, he was just wired.  I used to be like that but now at eleven I’ve slowed down and leave the crazy stuff to the young fellas.

Mama finished her outdoor flower pots today and I was right there by her side, always on the lookout to protect Mama from those blasted squirrels (I don’t like them near her).  We did something a little different this year, we planted all the flower pots in white only!  Mama thought the bright white colour would look great on dark days and show up our colourful wreath even more and I agree.
