👋 your Canadian Support Person here. For those of you who aren't celebrating Presidents Day, I invite you to celebrate the Family Day holiday instead. It was first celebrated in Alberta in 1990 and then enacted by BC, NB, ON, and SK. It's a day to enjoy winter with your family. ✌️🇨🇦

So sorry to hear this. Hugs to you and your family Baxter 💔

“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”

Orcas have been heard mimicking human speech. A study found that when prompted, the marine mammal could replicate the sounds.

Mark Carney at Davos. Very powerful address which should be listened to in its entirety. (A well deserved standing ovation which is rare at this summit)

After dinner last night with 5 year old granddaughter. "Claire, do you have room in your dessert tummy?". "Oh yes, that's NEVER full".

Happy birthday Ferris from Gracie.

Yes, I've seen dog booties advertised, but haven't tried them on our girl. We have paw wax made by our groomer, but the clumps are difficult.
