<p>I've posted over 60 videos of Wally, motorbiking, sky diving, plane flying, etc. but none became viral. </p>
<p>The reason I do those videos is mostly for a virtual album and for my mother who's in a home and does not have any computer skill. Therefore, bringing her a burnt DVD with the videos when I visit is a way to put a smile on her face. Plus, in order to create a viral you can't have any copyright material so therefore the music from the web that makes such an impact on clips,…</p>

<p>But this evening I might have a good receipy.</p>
<p>1. Wally's favorite toy (2$ plastic ball from Dollard stores)</p>
<p>2. Open the backyard gate and bolts for the ball, pushing it, kicking it, trying to grab it... it's hilarious.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What would happen if one day he were to enter the backyard and there would be 10-15 of those balls (multicolor) displayed evenly in the backyard????</p>

<p>Guess we'll find out. :)</p>Fallen RCMP officers June 4, 2014tag:mycorgi.com,2014-06-08:1150197:BlogPost:18669962014-06-08T09:00:00.000ZDenis J.http://mycorgi.com/profile/DenisJalbert
<p>Although this is not about Corgis, it's something I want to share with everyone.</p>
<p>The reason I was able to walk Wally during the time the city was closed shows the amount of trust we have towards our brothers and sisters who everyday put their lives on the line to make the cities the way we know them. They have families of their own and even though the ultimate sacrifice is something possible, it's a event no one hopes for.</p>

<p>Although, in some of us, it is something they dwell on, wish for and even execute on their own. These were the events of June 4, 2014. Three officers slain in plain daylight as they were ambushed by a deranged gunman. about 1/3 of the city was on lockdown but my family was outside the boundaries.</p>
<p>The city is now in mourning and the officers must be paid tribute in anyway we can.</p>
<p>This is my way.</p>

<p>Morning,</p>
<p>I'm not one to blog but this is too funny not to tell.</p>
<p>So it's the Sugar Shacks Seasons in our area so my wife and I were invited this past weekend to attend a maple sap boil and maple creation for kids. They have their makeshift boiler in the back of their home with over 110 trees tapped to gather the sweet product.</p>

<p>Morning,</p>
<p>I'm not one to blog but this is too funny not to tell.</p>
<p>So it's the Sugar Shacks Seasons in our area so my wife and I were invited this past weekend to attend a maple sap boil and maple creation for kids. They have their makeshift boiler in the back of their home with over 110 trees tapped to gather the sweet product.</p>
<p>The day is perfect, blue skies, warm weather, the snow is wet and soft but packed enough to walk on parts of the property. I bring Wally with me as we know the owners have a 9 year old Golden Retreiver female "Keisha". As the property is somewhat isolated from the main road she is always loose on the property, which they all share with their daughters, a big black rabbit in a cage outside.</p>
<p>So as we're greeted I'm being told that I could let Wally off leash, as Keisha loves him and they play well together. They say: "They'll probably stay together" and I'm thinking I could keep a close eye on him. Plus, if he wants to run away, he won't get far cause of the soft and deep snow outside of the patted zone. So: "there you go Wally, you're first time off leash in non fenced area".</p>
<p>Wally greets Keisha and both go around the site, playing and Wally quickly goes into "Indiana Jones" mode, exploring everything like his life depends on it. Keisha follows but as she sees is more interested in what his nose picks up she's backing off. </p>
<p>Wally remembers very well the Black Ball of fur in the cage when we walked by and decides to go back to take a sniff. He even gets a few licks on it but then it happens...</p>
<p>Wally's ears quickly picks up a sound he's never heard before "Cluck Cluck". As his head turns toward his interest, mine does as well and quickly realize there's a Chicken Coop at the far end of the property, tucked within trees. It's a shed with open door, no fence and chickens and rooster catching some sun rays. As Wally's bolting to say "HI" to his new friends I engage chase but Wally's faster and arrives on site with chickens franticaly rushing inside and the rooster last one in line. </p>
<p>I see Wally putting his nose on the rooster's tail and as the clucking sounds are of panicked chickens I'm able to grab Wally by the back legs and lift him from under. He turns to me in a surprise with a couple of rooster feathers in his mouth. :)</p>
<p>He spend the rest of the day on a long leash, preventing him to bother the chicks again but he got a taste of relaxing on bails of hay and the sweet smell of maple syrup in the air..</p>
<p>I'm sure he has dreams of live chickies running around that night... lol</p>
<p> </p>Wally's back up and running.tag:mycorgi.com,2014-01-14:1150197:BlogPost:18343762014-01-14T13:06:16.000ZDenis J.http://mycorgi.com/profile/DenisJalbert
<p>Wally has been sick after the holidays after eating a ham bone (knee part). This was the first time and we though he would enjoy the gift from grandma but turns out it didn't agree with him. He had it cooked and frozen but after eating the knee part he threw up about 8 hours later which was followed by heavy diarhea for the following night, and less in the following 2 days +.</p>
<p>Boiled ground beef and rice for those 2 days and he's been doing well. Having some frozen green beans…</p>

<p>Boiled ground beef and rice for those 2 days and he's been doing well. Having some frozen green beans as a few treats and ice cubes, along with some rest and he's back in full swing. </p>
<p>This year we've had record snow falls in one month and over the past week it's been melting to a point where we have barely nothing at all. Needless to say that he's enjoying the weather, the swollen streams and packed snow. But he does misses the fluffy white stuff after a snow fall. It's not the same doing the worm on hard surfaces... :)</p>

<p>I got Wally when he was a bit over 9 weeks of age. Now he just turned 1 year old and I wanted to do a little experiment with him. I called the breeder, who's 3 provinces away, and asked her if she could send me something of his father's. She thought he might not reconize his father but rather just intregued at the smell of another dog.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But curious herself she decided to put a toy in his kennel for about a week and then ship it to me.</p>
<p>I'll film Wally's reaction…</p>

<p>I'll film Wally's reaction when he put his nose on it and see if it triggers a reactions. I'll post the clip when I have it done.</p>

<p>A little taste of November and quite a nice afternoon.</p>
<p>Dangerous Lighthouse location but a good leash and need to explore we were safe enough.</p>
