Thank you for validating that I'm continuously baffled by what happens in Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. Like, I have no idea where those files go.
Thankfully, I'm Google-based. But occasionally forced onto an MS platform.

Working outside today. Sweet Skye is soaking up the sun.

Hello! Lovely to see you.
Mini had a really hard winter with sepsis (November), an antibiotic-resistant infection (December-January), and a neurological issue that took her balance. We had to say goodbye in March š
I think we need Skye, our foster, as much as she needs us.

Thereās been a response in the neighborhood group saying someone knows who the owners are. But Iām wondering if they are having a hard time and need support? Have they dumped her? Trying to get to the bottom of it.
Poor pupper.

You stay on that side, backyard bunny.
I love you and would never hurt you, but please please stop eating my garden.

Love that!
Years ago, at Ottawa Pride, my family made mom, dad, sister and brother hug T-shirts. Some of those hugs were pretty emotional.
Everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are.

Thanks for sharing, @hswapnil.medsky.social.
I'm embroidering a patch that celebrates living donation and want to be anatomically correct.
(So nothing medically serious)
comment in response to
post
Ha! I didn't even notice.
I will embroider a patch with liver on one side (the remaining lobe) and flowers on the other (the donated and regenerated side).Then apply the patch to a jacket. I really don't want to get the plumbing/structures wrong, so have removed them from my illustration.

Exactly. Most people are hoping to be listened to, not to get advice.
It's called "unsolicited advice" for a reason.

Itās ok to respond, āthat sounds hardā without getting involved.

Some of the train routes are stunning.

To drive the icefields, they may want to land in Edmonton. Then depart from Calgary.

Also, there is the iconic Lake Louise. It is expensive to stay there (Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise), but it is worth seeing. It is a very recognizable Canadian backdrop.

The Icefields Parkway is a stunning drive and a must for Alberta.

I suggest driving the icefields. Walk on a glacier (bring very warm clothes).
There's also a wine region in southern Alberta, if that's their thing.

A few of our transplant friends are here, but not everyone has made the move. There are new transplant friends here. Itās taking some time to reestablish communities.

Skye is doing really well adjusting to a new home and people.
Weāre big dog people (65 to 150 pounds) and sheās tiny at only 40 pounds, so thereās no foster fail risk.
Though we have foster failed twice (10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog and 12-year-old lab-Great Dane).

Skye is being brave in a new place and slowly showing us how sweet she is. Fostering is always an adventure with lots to discover about the dog who moves in.

She has started sleeping on our pillows. Skye is being brave and weāre starting to see how sweet she is.

Sheās being so brave. Even when she is clearly afraid of something or someone, sheāll creep towards it/them to investigate.

Skye is 5 and part Shepherd. Sheās a sweet little girl, only 40 pounds.
Was shaking and timid this morning when I picked her up and sheās warming up. She had a bite to eat and a nap.

My first rhubarb dessert of the season just came out of the oven. This recipe never lets me down. I use 1.5 cups of sugar instead of 2 cups.

Iām looking forward to your pics!
My family had a sailboat at called Shadow (our dog) at NSC in the 90s. My dad and I loved the high wind warning days. Weād get out on the river and play at getting keeled over as far as possible. Canāt imagine why nobody wanted to sail with us.

Fully yes.
No such thing as too much rhubarb.
(Or cheese or garlic)

Noting your profile pic, you are in the know about the sailing clubs.
I used to race on a Tanzer 22, but itās been many years. Race nights were a blast.

Over the winter I. Rested a whole wish list of recipes and canāt wait to dive in.
My spouse also makes a delicious rhubarb daiquiri.
