I’m talking to my dogs….or to the plants….I hear they like that….

 this adoarable little girl is my Siren Girlie…..JRT (Jack Russell terrorizers)

or in Siren’s case…

Just Really Terrific

And this is my Boy…Turbo….and he is turbo powered!

they are awesome pups…they help me to loosen the soil in my garden (Jacks are notoroius for digging) and they keep birds away with Barking…they are very helpful.

When I brought back my movies to my local video store….(shout out to Video 99….a mom and pop shop located in the building I used to have my studio in…..25 milling road right downtown Hespeler)  and I gave them a review of  “outsourced” they suggested a similar movie for me to check out….also a romantic comedy about a call center in India.

This one even though it starred Jesse Metcalf was disappointing… it had the typical mistaken identity ..oh I’ve got to go along with it now… eventually being discovered plot…. bleh….really it’s too bad that Jesse had to follow the lame script….. it’s better if you just turn off the sound and enjoy eye candy.

Alfie and I rented a charming little movie called “Outsourced” about a guy who is sent to India to oversee a call center.  Delightful and quirky, this little comedy was a pleasant surprise.

Saturday June 6th, some lovely members of Karma joined me at the Arts Festival.   We danced 3 numbers, the first was a folkloric dance, Assaya (cane). Rebecca and Donna are dancing with me here.

Notice that we are wearing full length dresses that cover our bellies.  Most people don’t know that there are many styles of costuming in belly dance.  The dresses are called Beledi dresses, and there are 2 styles, one where the front allows a decorative bra to be seen (Rebecca and Donna are wearing that type), or it totally covers  you up, like the one I am wearing.

Then we were joined by  Sonia, Faith, and Leah for a pop number and a drum solo.

What a great weekend!!  Saturday morning June 6th, we took our pups to an event hosted by Russell Rescue (JRTRO) and the JRTCC (Sunday)

Siren ran the Agility course just for fun, and boy did she ever have fun!

 Here she is coming out of a tunnel…!!!

 On Sunday we ran the Lure course…..Oh My Gosh….they knew before we even got to the event that lure coursing was on the menu for the day…. my Turbie took quite a tumble on the last corner before the home stretch, so I don’t think he ended up with a good time….too bad…it was looking pretty good before that happened.
