to the mom and daughter rockstar team on mcdougall this morning by Kennedy high school:

this morning I came up a puppy short when I went to let the dogs back in the house. turns out the awesome dude who checks my meter left the gate wide open (again :-|) and I didn't realize when I originally let them out. I was frantic when I didn't see my missing shihtzu anywhere. she was originally my grandmas dog and came to stay with me after my grams passed away and her new owners couldn't take care of her, so she's extra dear to me. she's also a k9 princess ninja and has literally no stranger danger at all when it comes to car rides. she'll get in anyone's car and expect them to drive her somewhere. anywhere. apparently she headed straight for mcdougall where all the traffic was, bettering her chance to flag down a chauffeur and attempted to get into random peoples cars. a passerby took pitty on me standing in the road looking like a tool with no shoes on and pointed down the road where I could see a mom hanging halfway out her SUV and holding my dog in places while she continued to try to climb in. u said the first lady she car across shooed her away, which makes me extra thankful that when she tried to climb into your SUV, you grabbed her collar while your daughter looked around for a lost and panicked owner and made sure she didn't take off again.

I was a bit rushed when I thanked u cause I was headed to the hospital to visit my mom and was already late but I thought u needed a proper acknowledgement. I've had probably the hardest week of my life so and I'm pretty sure my grandmas dog getting hit by a car would have been my breaking point and more than I could handle. that sounds selfish as I say it but I'm sure you know what I mean. so I just wanted thank you again ladies for keeping my naughty ninja safe & lt;3 I've tried to teach her how dangerous it is to run around a moving vehicle but someone always stops and opens the door, so in her eyes it's a win on her part. in real life though it makes me want to crawl into a fetal position and suck my thumb. I don't understand how people raise children and make it out alive. it's terrifying lol.. you obviously did a good job though as your daughter was right there helping :)

sincerely,
frantic and fetal position

I will preface this post by saying I so love hearing the wonderful stories of kindness on this site, truly heart warming & restores your faith in humanity. Today wished I could have posted one of those stories. Mine may seem trivial, but I was dismayed to see a dog owner not respect other people and their property. While cooking dinner, I looked out kitchen window to see a gentleman (I use that term loosely) in an orange shirt looking at our lawn (that my Son just mowed).Put a smile on my face & when I looked closer out the window, realized he was on his cell phone while his (rather large) dog did his business on our lawn & he went on his merry way. No doggy bag, no nothing. By the time I got outside, he was at the far end of the block. Shame on you.

To my friend who did an amazing thing this past week and organzied a fantastic send off for Mrs. Jobin at Holy Names High School, just out of the love in her heart. You are strong, wonderful and deserving of all the love and praise you have received these past few days. You work so hard and are so strong. Know that you yourself are loved and appreciated!

My son wanted to do something good for his class. He worked hard and raised enough money to buy a tree. Here is his class with the tree :)

I found a set of car keys walking to Tim Hortons this morning. Keys are Chevrolet. I got a message that the fob key may be to ABC day care. Found in Roseville gardens area

I was at Canadian Tire on Walker road during the lunch hour on June 19. A young boy about 3 years old was running around ahead of his mom (who had a baby in the cart). Please, Ma'am, hold his hand. I know he's at a rambunctious age, but he can get hurt. I did ask you to hold his hand in the parking lot; I wanted to stress how dangerous this is. Please don't let him get hurt because it's too hard to handle him . It is your job to keep him safe by controlling him in unsafe areas. You just don't know when a car will back up and he can't see him, not to mention darting into the driving lane.

To the beautiful girl at coras 6/ 19 at around 11, wearing a blue and white dress... You look just like Blake lively. You're absolutely stunning and if I wasn't so shy I would have asked for your number.
