First:  We had the desks painted by our friend Sean at AL Creations. Thanks Sean!

Oh so neat and tidy all in a row.

Then Jimmy and Pete loaded them up and delivered them. Thanks Jimmy and Pete, we think you’re swell!

Then we stacked them and realized that we had to hold them in place while Greg used wire to secure them… This took many, many hours… We even ran out of wire and had to go get more.

But the wine helped us cope… See, now we’re smiling. Miss Maggie even gave us a leg up.

And voila!  We’re done.  Phew.

Ever since little Miss Maggie came into our lives back in March of 2007, she’s been stealing hearts everywhere she goes. Her first day home, she was curled up in her basket at dandelion KIDS, and she can often be found at our Commercial Drive location or our new Port Moody shop – wherever I (Maria) happen to be working that day. Unless she’s spending time with Vince and the boys (the most amazing dogsitters) or with any of her other friends. You can see her lighting up the faces of the many children (and adults) that stop by the shop. She also lets the neighborhood dogs know who’s turf they’re on! Sometimes you might have to look very hard to find her, because she might be curled up in the window display taking advantage of the sun.

Check out a few pictures of Miss Maggies latest adventure – canoeing on Alouette Lake. I think we’ve found her new favourite pastime… but I wonder if she just likes sporting the orange PFD (from Three Dog Bakery) and being the ‘mermaid’ at the front of the canoe.

Check back later to see what else Miss Maggie has been up to!
