Sick Puppy (And Vacationy Stuff)

Last night, Ty got sick.  I had a wonderful time scrubbing the carpet in that spot.  I couldn't tell what he'd gotten into that had made his tummy upset, but did my usual treatment of one gingersnap cookie as a treat, then a 2/3 portion of kibble this morning.  It's not like he's going to waste away from a slightly reduced ration!  It's so unusual for either of mine to be ill.  They're two of the healthiest pets I've ever known about!  Thank goodness, since I am the only one to nurse them.

My cute knitting/evening bag has a problem.  The handle came away on one side!  Bummer.  But, it seems like I could get after it with a needle and thread, but I'll always worry if it's reliable.  Maybe I'll reinforce the other handle side while I'm at it, because this really is the perfect little bag for my trip.

Another jewel from Toronto... I found this bit of art in a subway station!

Now there's a way to get culture to your population.  Have it where they can see it every day.  And here's one that's a little more frivolous...

On the side of the Rogers Center (a multi-purpose stadium) you find this wonderful sculpture of rambunctious fans.

This is brighter, but not as close-up.  All the crowds were headed to the UFC event that night.  Apparently, it was a good fight, from the bits I caught on the news the next morning.  Not my thing, but more power to the fans.  The girl who stood next to me in the CN Tower line was headed there.  She was from Ottawa, and had several tattoos which I was too shy to stare at long enough to figure out what they said.  But they looked cool.  We had a nice chat while waiting, until we got separated in the elevator!  We were crammed in there like sardines.  But the view was worth it!  (warning, if you get vertigo from looking at up-high pictures, you might want to avoid this bit)

 That's the glass floor.  What a rush, looking straight down!  No, I have no fear of heights, why do you ask?  I didn't lay down on it only because it was quite crowded.  This floor is rated to support the weight of 14 hippos.  I wonder how they convinced the hippos to stand on it... ;)

 This is the Old Roundhouse, where trains turn around.  I didn't know that before I snapped a picture of it, just guessed, but later on looked at my Toronto maps and realized yes, I was right!  I love train stuff.

Here's the City Centre airport!  It seems to be mostly for smaller aircraft.  I saw a Cessna, or some other puddle-jumper, taking off.... so strange, being so much higher than an aircraft!  I bet this island is beautiful now that things are greener.  I got the feeling that the whole city was just anxiously awaiting spring.  Boy, don't I know that feeling!  Sometime, I'll try to go back while it's warm and lovely.  It's a great city to walk in.  And don't I know that too, sheesh.
