Heading to Banff today, it’s supposed to be a beautiful day. Achilles had no issues with being in his crate yesterday, so that’s a good thing. He’s too young to trust with the run of the house at the moment, he likes to try chewing on things he shouldn’t be chewing. After having puppies previously, I would much rather come home to a non-destroyed house and a puppy who might not be that happy about being in a crate for a few hours then a destroyed couch and then I am very unhappy.

A friend will let the dogs out twice for me while we are gone. I said you’ll have to gently encourage Achilles to return to his crate, but just give him a toy or two and he’ll be fine. I do want to get him a larger crate though and in no time, he won’t need it at all.

My house guest made minestrone soup last night, it was amazing. I have 6 double portions in the freezer, and enough left over for dinner this evening as well. The entire lot cost less than $25 which is amazing. She’s going to write the recipe down for me and this will be a winter staple for sure.

The week is flying by. Banff will be fun for sure, not sure what else we are up to, but we’ll see. It’s been a great week. Hopefully you’re enjoying yours.
