Blog Guelph: Dog Days of Winter
I'm was on the verge of whining about winter's grey skies when the sun blasted through the cloud cover and set me to purring. But - just in case the sunshine is short lived, I came across this sentimental gem to help you through future drab bits.
"My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,
It comes from the love in my dog's eyes."
Unknown Poet
And so today is for the dogs....

Blog Guelph: The Friday Ryder
It's been a while since we checked in on our pal The Giant Vermin and his 365 Dog Days project of his K9 squeeze Ryder so here yah go. Ryder was the Official Winner of the 3rd Annual Swamp Swim Competition - as shown above in our Friday Ryder.
Speaking of winners, me thinks the Green Party's Elizabeth May kicked some serious boy butt in last nights federal election leaders debate. If you're curious, cbc.ca is loaded with analysis.
Have a happy weekend boys and girls!

Blog Guelph: The Smell of Summer
Ryder dog has a nose for summer, which at long last arrives in Guelph at 6:59pm today by my rudimentary calculations. As a result, there are a pile of parties happening around town both tonight and deeper into the weekend. If you're free and unfettered and looking for action, snoop around Facebook for party crashing details.
BTW - Blog Guelph will be adopting summer habits for the next few months - which is to say we're scaling back to 4 days per week - Monday to Thursday.
Now then, click the pic to see the progress of Ryder's vanity project, celebrate the new season's dawning and appreciate something simple. It's summer in Guelph!

Blog Guelph: The Friday Ryder
Welcome to Friday and the first installation of The Friday Ryder.
Should you frequent these pages regularly, you will recall saucy Ms. Downtown Lynn challenging The Giant Vermin to a 365 day vanity project featuring one of Blog Guelph's fave hounds - Miss Ryder.
Lucky for us, TGV bit - and will no doubt take on the task like a dog with a bone. You can see this weeks seven by clicking on this link.
To add to your viewing pleasure - have a listen to this CBC Concert On Demand: Mali lute player Jah Youssouf at the Hillside Festival. Maybe even crack a beer. I'm sure the boss won't mind.
Enjoy everything peeps.

Blog Guelph: The Tail End of February
Welcome to Wednesday.
Today I turn to our beloved and skilled 'The Giant Vermin' for inspiration on how to make it through these last stubborn days of Frosty #^%*# February. Do click on his photos and by all means check out his vanity project from last year. The man's mind is masterful.
I spoke with a Montreal friend yesterday that claimed his city will be introducing a new snow removal system soon. It's called April.
Let's hope Guelph is so lucky.

Thanks for stopping by everyone. Downtown Lynn and I are very pleased you keep visiting the 'Blog about Guelph'.

In April, the Greater Guelph Speaker’s Corner sessions will be launched.
Sounds YouTubeish - so I inquired - how can John and Jane Guelph take part in the Greater Guelph Speaker’s Corner?
Phil Andrews: "The speaker's corner is actually just a really approachable journalist named Phil with a video camera. No, it's not me. We'll have him at the Ideafest, at various community events leading up to it and at the Mercury, on a few designated days. We'll advertise when and where he'll be."
"The videos will be shown on the Mercury website. Rogers Cable is also being approached about airing them and the Ideafest."
