I read about this story today and had to share.  It’s about a 5 year old bunny in the village of Kal in northern Sweden who herds sheep!  Apparently the owners, a Swedish farming couple, say they were amazed to find their pet rabbit, Champis, has become an even better herder of sheep than some dogs.  Here’s the video, you don’t have to watch the whole thing to get the idea!    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeuL5IGimCQ

Those who know my husband Ed know he loves to fish.  Earlier this month we enjoyed a vacation in Cuba and Ed brought along a fishing rod.  We enjoyed heading out into the ocean, myself working the paddle boat & Ed casting his heart out.   We also scouted out a nearby river (pictured below).   During the week we  encountered other Canadians who love to fish (specifically Murray from White Lake!) who, with the help of some nylons & raw shrimp, helped Ed catch his first Cuban fish!  By the way, finding nylons in Cuba is not an easy task, but that’s a whole different story!!!

I just got back from a little getaway to Cuba.  As I was riding a bike along the countryside, I came across what I like to call a Cuban traffic jam…goats!  Actually, animals of all sorts along the sides of the roads are not unusual.  I’ve seen chickens, turkeys, pigs, oxen, horses and more!  These goats were very vocal and the babies were so cute! (There were more, these were just the ones that made the photo.)  One old “Billy goat” even put the run on me!

Like many this month, my husband Ed grew some facial hair to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.   The question now is, should he keep it?  Check it out:

Marshall Dane is a singer/songwriter from the St. Catherine’s area who’s coming to Ottawa for Capital Hoedown in August 2012.  He’ll be warming up the stage on the Friday night for Gord Bamford, Ronnie Dunn & Reba, and he’s pretty excited about it!  The son of a preacher, when he found out the news the first thing he did was call his folks to reassure them that his country music career was heading in the right direction!  When I spoke to Marshall he said he couldn’t wait to heat up the stage and get the crowd dancing!  Check out his website for more:  www.marshalldane.com
