This past weekend (June 9 and 10) was the annual Woofstock event in Toronto, Ontario.
This event is the biggest dog “show” in the North America. Woofstock has vendors showcasing, doggie clothing, dog food, dog beds, buddy leashes, rescue workers and lots more, there are even doggie fashion and “trick” shows…
It’s a fabulous event, where dogs of all shapes and sized come out with “mum and dad” to enjoy the day. The energy is amazing and everyone has a great time… There are lots of patio’s to sit on, where one can sit, drink eat and watch….
I am blessed with being able to attend this yearly event as I go with my sister and brother-in-law and their little “Star” Tiffany.
Tiffany is always a big hit, she is just too cute, and to top it off she is as patient as they come, as many, many hands pet her and lots of people take her picture…. Even City T.V. knows her!!!
Tiffany is a 4-year-old Pomeranian, she is clipped back so she doesn’t have the normal look of a Pom, and she is full of “feel good” energy….
In the picture below Tiffy is with “dad” in the Pepsi Trailer at Woofstock…. and they are now entered into

Pepsi Ultimate Taste Challenge

Thanks so much!
Our 2nd post in our Astrology Notes Series is about the Moon.
In Astrology, the moon relates to our emotional self, and as such it is more prominent when we are children, more so then our Sun sign. This is because as children we react to things emotionally, babies cry when they are hungry, tired or have a dirty diaper.
As we grow, we are “directed” by our parents, our schools and our society how we should behave. As this happens our moon sign begins to take a back seat and by the time we reach adulthood we have grown accustomed to “hiding” away our true feelings.
When we become involved in a long term relationship, work along side someone for a long time, or become firm friends with someone, we begin once again to allow our true feelings to surface…. This can sometimes cause conflict or upset, as two people try to figure out their own emotional self, while trying to understand the emotional self of the other.
Our moon sign plays a very important part in our development and is a strong part of how we deal with life and what she has to offer both on a negative and positive level.
It is very important therefore, that our parents and caregivers have some understanding of our Moon nature. Working against our Moon sign while we are young can have devastating and long term effects on the person we become. While working with our Moon sign can help to build up our self-confidence and help us to be the best person we can be. However, we must always be cautious not to encourage distruptive behaviour or to over inflate the Ego…
History has long observed the effects on the human race when the moon is full. It is handy, therefore to understand your moon sign as any effects the Full Moon emits will have a stronger effect on you when it falls in either your Sun Sign or Moon Sign.
Hi folks in order to try get myself more organized SGC will be posting a bit differently…

We appreciate and are open to your comments on this and all of our posts… and if you have an idea or experience you would like to share with others… please send it along, Click Here to email us…

Mother’s Day is upon us once more…. it’s a day of love and gratitude, or hopefully that’s how it works out….
Mum’s (or Mom’s) come in all shapes, sizes, sex’s and colours….. but they all have something in common, the welfare and happiness of their children. To implement this, Mum’s have to put many of their own needs and desires aside until a time comes when their children no longer need them…
Or that’s what they think….. :)
My mum passed away in 1999, she was 74 years old and had led a life fit for a novel…. I never stop “needing” her
Mum, or Noreen as she was known to others, was one of the kindest people I have ever met, the only trouble with her being so kind was that she always believed in what people told her, which meant she got into some difficult situations.
But no matter what life had thrown at her, or who had used and abused her, mum always believed in giving others the benefit of doubt… even into her final days she was concerned for others….
On one visit with her in the hospital, supper was served, and I was directed by my mum to assist the lady in the bed opposite to her. Mum explained, that the lady didn’t seem to get any visitors, so she didn’t really eat very much and was probably lonely… I did as I was bid, and as I looked back at mum I saw her watching me closely, with a look I will carry with me for ever, her look conveyed “that’s my girl, I love you” ….
And as I remember that time, it always amazes me that even at the very end mum’s compassion was such that it never wavered, she still believed in the good of people……
So Happy Mothers Day Mum….. I love you too….. :)
Make Mother’s Day Special, think of who your mum is as a person, what does she love to do? What makes her laugh? What makes her smile? Who does she love to be around? What’s her favorite food and drink?
Gifts for mum need to be true and come from the heart, because that’s what mum’s do every single day…. Here are just a few ideas …..
