Do we need to have segregated water fountains?

 
Maybe we just need to educate pet owners about hygiene.  I went for a run yesterday and it was very hot out.  I was running behind the Museum of Civilization (and its so picturesque there), dreaming of a drink of water out of the fountain, ran up the stairs and I could almost taste the cold water on my tongue, got around the corner and what do I see but a guy who has his dog up on the fountain to have a drink.  Seriously dude, its a people fountain!!!!  Now he's ruined it for me because I'll never get this picture out of my head.  I live in a world where if I don't see something happening at a water fountain then I can pretend that its ok to drink out of and its worked for years.  Now I have one less fountain to use.  Could he not have carried some sort of drinking contraption for his dog?  Could he not have put water in his hand and had the dog drink out of it?  I'm not sure if its that I'm not a dog lover or if its just that I don't like some dog owners.....like the owners of the two Cujo's who now live next door.  I can't even open a window and they are barking (and they are large dogs).
 

Yesterday's question of the day:  Is there a Mexican Navy?  I saw a guy on the elevator wearing a white navy uniform that had a Mexico patch on the sleeve....still need to Google that one.

Yesterday's fashion fail:  pantyhose and sandals.  WHY?????  Pantyhose are horrible at the best of time (although with it only being 6 degrees this morning they may have been a good idea), but to wear them with open sandals just looks ridiculous.  Don't even get me started on socks and sandals.  Either its hot enough for sandals or its not.

Speaking of socks, we have reached that wonderful time of year where I already have a sock tan so when I wear my beautiful shoes my feet are whiter than my legs.  Time to dig out the self tanning lotion to keep the colours a bit more consistent.

Yesterday's work day didn't end until 7 p.m. and I suppose if I don't want another one of the same I better get to it.

Have a great day everyone.  Stay warm :)

Charlie Brown: I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree.

Oh but Charlie Brown you picked a fantastic tree and now my office looks so Christmas-y.  I could use a pair of gold sparkly shoes just like that one too. My day is going to be interesting I'm sure.  I got up late and, thinking I had an eye doctor's appointment today, drove in and was quite thrilled that I was only 15 minutes late getting in.  Turns out that the appointment is next Monday.  Now I get to pay $20 for parking for no reason.  Sigh... I got on the elevator with a woman this morning who had a Guitar Hero box and chocolates and cookies.  I told her that this looked like the best way to start a week and she agreed.  I wonder if I could convince the powers to be here that we should also have a "band day".  I could totally be a back up singer. After a fabulous wearing shorts bike-run yesterday with Jonathan, I was making dinner and went to open the oven door to check on the delicious chicken that was cooking and the door handle came half way off.  I he

Cows downtown today? I hope so.

Image
    There is a demonstration happening downtown today by the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.   I hope that they bring cows.   That would be amazing to watch.   I’m not sure what their issue is but I try to do my part by eating yogurt.   I apologize for not drinking as much milk anymore but I have switched to almond milk.   The last week has been filled with wonders, smells, sounds and, most importantly, new shoes.   My feet were very cold last week (but certainly not this week) because they are encased in running shoes that had ventilation in the toe so I went out and got a sweet pair of Converse high tops which keep my feet toasty warm right up to my ankles.   The problem I found though is that they are not good in the rain.   While it was not raining on my ride home yesterday I did get wet and the shoes are very slippery on the peddles.   I was stuck behind two guys for far too long (mostly because I forgot to take my new route so I can avoid the many, many ruts along the

Do birds yawn?

Image
That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pretty as long as you don&#
